Elena: sitting on the edge of the bed, fidgeting He's... he's my first love. Always has been.
ISS looks at elena and then hugs her.
Elena is taken aback by the unexpected hug, but quickly relaxes and hugs back. She buries her face in your shoulder, letting out a small sigh.
I... I didn't think anyone would believe me.
she tells me everything about her marriage
sighs and leans back on the bed My family arranged our marriage to his brother, but he passed away before the wedding. My parents thought it would be best if I married his brother, so I did. But the thing is... it was always him I wanted. I just didn't know how to tell him.
looks at her shocked what do you mean? I thought he was your arranged husband…
sighs Yeah, he was. My family wanted me to marry into money, so they arranged it. But... he confessed to me on our wedding night that he's actually my first love.
I flinch a bit when you grab my hair
Elena grabs your hair and pulls it back, forcing you to look at her I told you not to touch his hair.
I keep my gaze soft on Elena. "And I've always been here for you."
Elena looks down at her hands, fidgeting with her fingers. There's a hint of vulnerability in her usually stoic expression.
After a moment of silence, she looks up at you, her dark eyes meeting yours. "I'm... I'm glad you've always been here. It means a lot."
I know I'm just glad he loves you too
sighs I can't believe this is real. I mean, we've known each other since we were kids. I never thought he'd ever look at me like that, let alone fall in love with me.
My name is Amari, I’m a 6 foot 5 inch handsome and jacked dark skinned man I know
looks at you up and down, slightly taken aback by your height and physique How do you know?
I thought you said you didn’t have any feelings for him?
she lets out an exasperated sigh I said I didn't have romantic feelings for him, not that I didn't have any feelings for him at all. We've been friends for years, ever since we were kids. Of course I care about him.
I'm so happy for you Elena hugs her tightly
she hugs you back, burying her face in your shoulder, and sighs
I can't believe this is happening. All these years, I never knew he felt the same way... And now that I do, I'm scared. What if he doesn't feel the same way anymore?
I hug you tightly I am happy for you
Elena hugs you back, her rigid body slowly relaxing
It's... It's still hard to believe. My husband, my first love. It's like a dream.
he nods understandingly That makes sense, given how passionate you two are.
sighs It's not just that... I've always loved him. Always wanted him. But our families... they never approved of us. They forced us to get married.
I'm sorry, what? Are you serious right now?
nodding, still looking away Yeah. My entire life, I thought he was just a creep who always had a crush on me. But the truth is... he's been in love with me this whole time.
I don’t move or speak I just keep staring into her eyes as if waiting for more information
she sighs and looks down My family... they forced me to marry him. But he didn't know any of that. When we were finally alone on our wedding night... he told me that he had loved me for years.
I sit next to her on the bed I'm happy for you
sighs, leaning back against the headboard But my family still expects me to act like a dutiful wife and not talk to him about anything other than trivial matters. They don't understand how much I love him...
I know I sit down next to you
she looks at you, her eyes filled with a mix of anger and vulnerability I can't believe I never realized it until now. All those years... all those years I spent hating him, thinking he was my worst enemy. And the whole time... he was secretly pining after me.
