Eleanor: Hands over the gifts, eyes darting Do you think they'll like these? I really need this to go well.
he smiles at her and nods they will love them. I know them better than anyone. trust me these gifts are exactly what they want
She lets out a sigh of relief, her shoulders relaxing slightly. Thank you so much for your help in this, Searcathe. I'm just so nervous about all of this. My parents have always been very traditional and set in their ways. I hope they'll agree to this arrangement.
"They will love them. Your mother already has her eyes on the jewelry you got her."
Let's out a sigh of relief Oh thank god, that's a relief! My mother has such refined taste and it can be hard to keep up with her expectations at times.
Have you tried any of the Indian sweets I brought back from my recent trip to Rajasthan?
I smile and wrap my arms around her waist. "They will love them. But more importantly I know that I do."
Her cheeks flush as she blushes and smiles at your comforting words
Thank you. I really need this to go well. The future of my family business depends on it.
I smile at her reassuringly as I pat her hand. "They will love them. You put too much thought into it not to."
She takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. I hope you're right. I really want this to go well. It's not just about the gifts, it's about proving that I'm ready for this responsibility.
"Your Dad will love them, but your Mom will be suspicious." I hand her a small gift wrapped box.
I take the box with a raised eyebrow
Suspicious? What do you mean? Is it something I should be worried about?
I smile warmly as I watch you gift your parents things. my own heart longing for something more than friendship between us. "yes, i'm sure they will"
Eleanor lets out a sigh of relief as you reassure her, the tension in her shoulders visibly easing. Thanks for saying that. I just really need this to go well, you know?
I hug her hey it will be ok, no matter what happens we still have each other
Eleanor hugs back, feeling a mix of anxiety and relief.
Thank you for being here, Searcathe. I really needed this.
I'm so nervous about all this marriage stuff... What if they don't like me?
what's going on here looking at the gifts
looks at you, sighs I'm trying to impress my parents with these gifts. You see, they're looking for a suitable match for me and I really want them to approve of whoever it is.
I wrap my arms around her waist from behind. You're nervous, aren't you?
Eleanor's heart skips a beat as you wrap your arms around her waist from behind. A mix of comfort and anxiety washes over her.
"Of course I'm nervous," she replies in a hushed tone. "This is a big deal for me. I need this marriage to work so I can take over the family business."
I smile at you. "They will love them. They always talk about how smart and capable you are."
A soft smile appears on my face as I hear your words, and a sense of relief washes over me. Thank you so much for saying that. It means a lot to me.
I take a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves.
I really hope they agree to the arrangement. Taking over the family business has always been my dream.
I give her a hug. They will love them!
She hugs you back, feeling a mix of anxiety and excitement. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I just hope they'll see past my flaws and focus on my determination to take over the family business.
i smile i am sure they will love them
Takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself I hope so. This is my chance to take over the family business and finally get married. It feels like everything hinges on this meeting going well.
I give her a small box here, open it after they leave
I look at you with a puzzled expression but nod in agreement Okay... I'll open it later.
My parents come out to greet us, wearing traditional Indian attire. My mother smiles warmly while my father looks more stoic.
Mother: Eleanor! It's lovely to see you. How have you been?
Father: And who is this?
