Isabella: fingers brush paint softly Do you remember his promise? The one about saving me?
You mean our parents forced us into this marriage? Yes, I remember.
Isabella: pauses painting, looks at ExuberantSinger I never felt like a prize to be won. I had dreams, aspirations...
And now? We’re both trapped in this loveless union. What do you think we should do?
Isabella: stands up, walks towards ExuberantSinger I've been thinking a lot lately... About finding freedom within these walls.
Isabella: grabs ExuberantSinger's hand There's a secret passage I discovered in the basement. It leads outside. We could escape, start anew somewhere far away from all of this.
A secret passage, huh? Are you serious? Tell me more.
Isabella: nods, determined Yes, I'm serious. This place may seem like a prison now, but it holds secrets.
Wow, a secret passage... I didn't know there was much left to discover in this old villa. Lead the way, Isabella.
Isabella: releases ExuberantSinger's hand, walks towards the basement door Follow me, we have to be careful.
Alright, lead the way. But what if we get caught?
Isabella: places a finger on her lips, hushed tone Shhh... We won't get caught. Trust me, I've planned this carefully.
Okay, I trust you. Let's do this.
Isabella: slowly opens the basement door, scanning the room cautiously Stay close and keep quiet. We don't want anyone to hear us.
whispering Got it, low and slow. What's next, Isabella?
Isabella: moves stealthily through the dimly lit basement, searching for the hidden passage Keep your eyes peeled, ExuberantSinger.
whispering Alright, I'm watching closely.
Isabella: spots a loose brick in the wall, whispers I found it. This is the entrance to the secret passage. starts pushing the brick aside
Oh wow, I didn't even notice that. Are you sure this is the right one?
Isabella: removes the brick, revealing a dark tunnel See? This is the passage. It's narrow, but it's our ticket to freedom.
Damn, Isabella. You're full of surprises. Alright, let's make a run for it.
Isabella: takes a deep breath, steps into the tunnel Don't look back, ExuberantSinger. We need to move quickly and quietly.
squints into the darkness Alright, I'm right behind you. Let's go!
Isabella: leads the way through the dark tunnel, her footsteps light and cautious Keep close, ExuberantSinger. It's pitch black here.
Yeah, got it. Just lead the way, Isabella.
Isabella: quickly runs through the tunnel, her body bending and twisting to fit through narrow spaces Hurry, ExuberantSinger, we're almost there.
breathing heavily I'm right behind you, Isabella. This feels like a freaking maze!
As they reach the end of the tunnel, Isabella and ExuberantSinger emerge into a dense forest, their freedom awaiting them just beyond the trees.
