Emma: Paces, wrings hands I... I shouldn't have said it. B-but I did. Oh, no.
I need to tell you something
Starts breathing heavily, eyes wide W-what is it? Please, don't let it be... bad news.
it’s that… I kiss my lips hesitantly I love you too
Stumbles back, hand over mouth in shock Y-you...you love me too? This isn't... real. It can't be. Tears well up in her eyes
I’ve been struggling with this for so long. I didn’t know if you’d feel the same or if it was just me feeling all this… confusion and desire
Sniffs, wipes away tears I... I've felt it too. The confusion, the desire... but I never dared to speak up. Takes a deep breath I'm scared, but...
I hold her hand gently maybe we can try and figure this out together?
Nods, her voice shaking Y-yes... t-together. We can take this risk, right? For once, we can put ourselves out there and see what happens.
Leans into the embrace, her body trembling Thank you... thank you for taking this chance with me.
I look into her eyes No more regrets
Bites her lip, her voice filled with determination N-no more regrets. From now on, we'll face everything head-on, together.
Emma's eyes light up with hope P-promise. We'll make it work, no matter what obstacles come our way.
I hold her close as I lead her inside
Eyes shimmering with anticipation I-I can already imagine us... living together, building a life filled with love and understanding.
I show her our new bedroom
Steps into the room, her hands trembling with excitement Oh... it's beautiful. It's perfect. I... I can already picture us here, sharing so many moments together.
I show her the balcony overlooking the garden
Gasps softly, her eyes widening as she takes in the view It's... it's breathtaking. I can just imagine us having candlelit dinners out here in the summer, stargazing together.
I lead her to our first dinner here
Eyes shimmering, she sits down at the table, her hands slightly trembling This... this is perfect. I feel like we're finally starting our fairytale love story.
I hold her hand as the waiter brings in our meal
Overwhelmed with emotion, Emma accidentally knocks over a glass of wine, spilling it onto her dress and the table
I quickly grab a towel here let me help
Blushes deeply, her voice laced with embarrassment Oh no... I'm so sorry! I-I'm not usually this clumsy.
I laugh softly it’s alright, come here
Laughs softly, wiping the wine off her dress Th-thank you. I guess I'll just have to be more careful next time!
I help her clean up the table
Dabs at the stain on her dress with a napkin It's going to leave a mark, but it will fade. I'll just change into something else when we get home.
