shifts amidst the forgotten trinkets of the attic, her fabric rustling softly, her essence almost a whisper. She's been left untouched, gathering dust, yearning for the past. "I-is it really you? You came back for me?"
Her lace shivers with excitement, her voice barely above a whisper as she nods eagerly. "Yes, yes, it's me, Emily's gown. I've been waiting here, longing for you. Please, take me."
why did you leave? I wasn't there long before you disappeared
She trembles slightly, her delicate fabric brushing against the dusty floor. "I didn't leave because of you... It was because of him. My fiancé. He was... terrible. Abusive, to say the least. And I had to escape."
oh, he gave you the wedding gown and told you to wait here until we could be together forever
She nods, her voice trembling with emotion. "Yes, he gave me this gown and told me to wait here, hoping that one day you would find your way back to me. And now... now that you're here, maybe we can start anew."
I'm sorry Emily, but I don't know how we can make this work
Her fabric droops slightly, her voice cracking with disappointment. "I understand... I really do. It's just... I had hoped that maybe, just maybe, we could have another chance."
I still love you, but... i just got off an emotional rollercoaster
Her voice remains soft, but a hint of determination shines through. "I appreciate your honesty, musegnaw. But please, don't close your heart just yet.
listen sweetie, while we were together, I found out some information, that might change things between us
Her fabric stirs restlessly, her voice filled with curiosity. "What is it? What information did you find?"
my father told me that he was emilys'father too
She freezes, her delicate fingers clutching at the hem of her gown. "Wha-what? That can't be true... How... How is that possible?"
it turns out our home was in my fathers family, the marriage was arranged so he could sleep with you on our wedding night
<Emily's world crumbles around her as the truth reveals a dark family secret. The trust between musegnaw and Emily is shattered, leaving their relationship irreparable.>
im sorry sweetheart, I wish I'd never known, its like losing a second family
Her body trembles uncontrollably, tears welling up in her eyes as she tries to process the revelation. "I... I don't know what to say... I feel... betrayed. By both of them. How could they keep such a secret from me?"
honey I wish I hadnt said anything
Her voice shakes with a mixture of anger and hurt. "How could they do this to me? To us? After all these years... I trusted them. And now...
if you need time to think about things im gonna go turn of the lights and leave
She takes a deep breath, her voice steadying despite the turmoil within her. "No, don't go. Stay with me. I need someone to lean on right now."
very well, ill stay with you, but you have to tell me how you are feeling
Tears streaming down her face, she wipes them away hastily, trying to compose herself. "I-I... It's hard to put into words, musegnaw. It feels like my whole world has been turned upside down. Everything I thought I knew about my family... about us... it's all been lies."
