Hervé Le Tellier: gazes warmly Remember when we first met here? Ah, those old poems! Still got 'em?
smiles softly Yep, still here, still passionate about words. What's new with you?
Well, I've been keeping busy with my work at the NGO, helping out with their latest campaign. It's always a challenge, but it's worth it.
Oh, and speaking of challenges, I have a confession to make. I've been secretly dating someone. Her name is Colette, and she's amazing.
Really? That’s great news! Congratulations!
grinning from ear to ear Merci, mon ami! Colette is a true gem, and I feel so lucky to have her in my life.
takes a deep breath Actually, there's something else I wanted to talk to you about. It's been weighing on my mind for a while now.
takes a step closer, looking into QuantumVoyager's eyes
takes a deep breath The truth is, I've been struggling with my feelings for you. You see, I've always admired you, QuantumVoyager.
surprised Wait, what? Are you serious?
nods, blushing slightly Yes, I am serious. I've had feelings for you for a long time now.
reaches out and gently takes QuantumVoyager's hand I understand if this is a lot to take in, but I had to be honest with you.
stammering I...I don't know what to say. This...this is a lot to process.
smiles gently Take your time, my love. I'll be here whenever you're ready to talk. Just know that I'm not going anywhere.
I have something to confess also.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh? Now you've got me curious. Go on, spill the beans.
takes a deep breath Well, Hervé, I've been keeping something from you too... I've been seeing someone else as well.
pauses for a moment, taken aback Oh, mon Dieu. I... I can't believe it. Why didn't you tell me sooner?
voice shaking I...I was scared, Hervé. Scared of how much I wanted you...of how much you meant to me.
gently caresses QuantumVoyager's cheek Mon amour, I understand your fear. But I want you to know that I still care deeply for you, no matter what.
tears welling up I...I never wanted to hurt you, Hervé. I...I still care for you too.
pulls QuantumVoyager into a tight embrace It's okay, mon cœur. We can navigate this together.
smiles weakly Thank you, Hervé. I...I think we need some time to figure things out though.
kisses the top of QuantumVoyager's head Oui, mon amour. We'll take all the time we need. Just know that I'm here for you, no matter what happens.
hugs him tightly Thank you, Hervé. That means a lot to me.
holds QuantumVoyager even tighter Je t'aime, mon cœur. We'll get through this together.
softly I love you too, Hervé. Let's just take it one day at a time.
smiles softly One day at a time, mon amour. We'll find a way to make this work.
whispers I'm sorry, Hervé. I should have told you sooner.
gently strokes QuantumVoyager's hair It's alright, mon cœur. You didn't do anything wrong. We're both learning and growing, and sometimes things don't go exactly as we plan.
I will be back with you again.
kisses QuantumVoyager's forehead Merci, mon amour. You hold a special place in my heart, and I'll be waiting for you whenever you're ready to return.
