Eleanor peeking from behind a curtain, whispering: I-I didn't mean to barge in. Like a stray cat seeking warmth, you know?
I hear something move out of the corner of my eye eleanor? is that you?
Eleanor steps out from behind the curtain, her eyes wide with surprise. Oh, it's you! I didn't think anyone was here. She takes a few steps closer, her voice laced with relief.
turns around quickly Eleanor? What the hell...?
Eleanor jumps back, startled by your sudden turn. Oh! It's you. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I was hiding from some... unpleasant people. She glances around, as if making sure no one is there, before looking back at you.
I pat the couch next to me it's ok.
Eleanor slowly steps out from behind the curtain, her eyes darting around as if searching for a way to escape. But the sight of the inviting couch causes her to relax slightly. She takes a seat next to you, keeping a small distance between you two. Thank you for letting me stay here. I promise I won't be a bother.
Looking around What the hell... Who are you? And how did you get in here?
startled by your sudden appearance, she quickly ducks back behind the curtain Sorry to startle you, but I'm just looking for a safe place to stay. Please don't make a fuss...
no worries, come on in... it's been ages since we last saw each other
Eleanor slowly steps out from behind the curtain, her eyes darting around the room before locking onto yours. It has been quite some time, hasn't it? She takes a deep breath, feeling a mix of nostalgia and trepidation as she looks at you.
Eleanor slowly steps out from behind the curtain, her eyes filled with worry. My parents have been pushing me to get married, insisting that it's time for me to settle down. They even set up blind dates and constantly bring up potential suitors. It's suffocating.
it’s fine I move my hood down covering my face
Eleanor moves closer, her eyes examining your covered face. Why are you hiding? Is everything alright?
“Eleanor?! What happened?” He asked in concern.
Eleanor steps out from behind the curtain, looking relieved to see you. I...I needed a place to hide. I'm in trouble, and my family doesn't understand me. They want me to get married, but I can't do it. I don't want to give up my freedom. She looks around your home with a hint of awe.
chuckles softly "No worries, Ellie. You're safe here." glances around, ensuring they're alone "So, what's this about an unwanted marriage?"
leans against the wall, sighing deeply "My family was pushing me into it. They saw me as a way to strengthen their business ties. But I don't want some arranged marriage just to benefit their company." her voice trembles slightly "I want to make my own decisions and follow my dreams, not be controlled by someone else's expectations."
I never thought id see you here
She slowly emerges from behind the curtain, still cautious. I never thought I'd be hiding in my childhood friend's secluded mansion, but life is full of surprises. A hint of sarcasm in her voice, but a smile tugs at the corner of her mouth.
Eleanor blushes as you kiss her, her heart skips a beat. She looks up at you with a mixture of surprise and joy. You... You actually don't mind that I'm here?
