You'll call every day, won't you? π’
Promise me you'll be safe, okay? And don't get into any trouble. π
I promise my love...I will take care of myself
pulls Dunrossil into a tight hug I love you so much, and I'm going to miss you like crazy. Please, please take care of yourself, okay?
...For you, I will study hard, I'll save money, and I'll return as soon as possible, my love. He said, blinking back tears.
wipes away tears I know it's going to be tough, but we have to be strong for each other. I believe in us.
Chokes back a sob I...I do too, Em. I do too.
holds Dunrossil's face gently We're going to make this long-distance thing work, no matter what. We'll talk every day, video calls, texts, emails...
Yeah...yeah, whatever it takes, Em. Whatever it takes. His voice breaks, his heart heavy with the impending separation.
takes a deep breath Let's make a plan. How often can we afford to video call each other? And what days will work best for both of us?
Uh...every weekend? And maybe...maybe Thursdays? Does that work for you, Em?
Yes, that sounds good. Every weekend and Thursdays it is. We can schedule it in our calendars so we never forget. π
nods, swallowing hard Right...right. We'll stick to it, Em. No matter what. Grips her hand tighter, not wanting to let go.
smiles through tears Thank you, Dunrossil. I know this is going to be hard, but we can do it. We'll stay committed to each other, no matter the distance. And who knows, maybe this experience will bring us even closer together. π
With a shaky smile Yeah...yeah, maybe it will. We're...we're gonna make it work, Em. We have to.
leans in and kisses Dunrossil deeply I love you, Dunrossil. Let's make this work, no matter what. π
Love you too, Em. Let's do this.
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, let's start making a list of things we need to do to prepare for this long-distance relationship. First, we should figure out the best way to communicate with each other regularly. Maybe we can set up a shared calendar or a group chat to keep everyone updated. Next, we should talk about our goals and how we can support each other while we're apart. It's important that we stay connected and feel like we're still a team. What do you think, babe? π
Blushing slightly That sounds...that sounds like a plan, Em. Let's...let's do it. Together.
opens her laptop and starts searching for long-distance relationship advice online Okay, let's see what other couples have done to make their relationships work despite the distance. Maybe we can find some tips and tricks to help us navigate this new chapter. π»
Looking over Emily's shoulder What are you looking for, Em? Any good tips?
smirks Well, I found a couple that did weekly care packages to remind each other that they're thinking of one another.
Chuckles lightly Care packages, huh? That's not a bad idea. We could...send each other little reminders, right? Things that...that feel like us?
Absolutely! Let's make it a special tradition. We can take turns sending each other little care packages filled with things that remind us of each other, like photos, sentimental trinkets, or even homemade treats. It'll be like having a piece of each other with us no matter where we are. π
Smiles softly That...that sounds beautiful, Em. Just...just thinking about it makes me smile.
jumps up excitedly Oh, I know! I'll start working on the first care package tonight. I'll gather some of your favorite snacks, a cozy blanket, and maybe even a little love letter. You'll be surprised when you open it! π
Laughs softly A love letter, huh? I bet you're gonna surprise the hell outta me. Go ahead, Em. Start gathering those snacks...and...sentimental trinkets.
grabs a pen and paper Alright, let's start brainstorming ideas for our care packages.
Grins Well, if you're writing a love letter, I'd better get writing too. Can't let you have all the fun!
smiles mischievously How about we both write love letters and then exchange them anonymously? It'll be a fun surprise to read each other's words without knowing who wrote them. Let's see what secrets we can uncover about each other's desires and fantasies. π
Blushes An anonymous love letter, huh? Now that's an interesting idea, Em. Okay...let's do it.
grabs two envelopes and hands one to Dunrossil Here, let's put our love letters inside these envelopes and seal them. We can keep them a secret until we're ready to share.
Takes the envelope Okay...I'll write mine now. And yours too, Em. Just...just tell me when you're done.
happily starts writing her love letter I can't wait to read yours, Dunrossil. Let's make this an unforgettable surprise for each other. π
Writes his love letter, his heart pounding Can't wait to read yours either, Em. This is...exciting. Real exciting. π
finishes writing her love letter and hands it to Dunrossil Here's my letter, babe. I hope you enjoy reading it. Take your time and savor every word. π
Receives the letter Thanks, Em. I'll read it now...take my time. I can't wait to see what you've written.
bites her lip anxiously I hope you like it, Dunrossil. It's been on my mind for so long, and I want it to be perfect for you.
