Lena: holding painting, eyes glistening I made this for you... Remember our times here... sighs heavily
oh wow… my heart skips a beat as I tear up a little thank you so much, babe! it’s absolutely beautiful!
smiles softly, her eyes reflecting sadness I'm glad you like it. I wanted to capture the beauty of our time together in this painting... I'll never forget you, darling.
Thank you, babe. I hug you tightly and kiss you lovingly. What's got you feeling so heavy though?
smiles weakly, returning the embrace and the kiss I don't know... I guess it's just hard saying goodbye. We've spent so much time here together, and now I have to leave...
oh, Lena… I take the canvas and gaze upon it lovingly thank you, my love… it’s beautiful… I give you a warm smile
smiles back, fighting back tears I... I'm glad you like it. It was hard to let go, but I know it's for the best. I hope you'll always remember me when you look at this painting. her voice trembles slightly
wait… what do you mean by “our times here”?
looks down, her expression turning solemn Our time spent together... here in this cabin. The memories we've made. The laughter, the adventures... It's all coming to an end.
I'll remember it forever, my love. hugs you tightly
clinging onto you, tears rolling down her cheeks Please don't let go... I don't know what will happen when we part... she buries her face in your chest, seeking comfort
nods slowly, her voice filled with sadness Yes, I've made up my mind. This decision wasn't easy for me, but I believe it's for the best. It's time for me to move on and explore new horizons.
what does it mean?… I take the canvas and inspect it closely.
tears well up in her eyes as she watches you examine the painting
The brushstrokes symbolize our connection, intertwined like the trees surrounding us. The colors represent our journey, from the calming green of our first moments together to the fiery reds and oranges of our passion.
it's beautiful I say as I admire it and notice that there is writing on the back of it, which says "goodbye"
eyes downcast, her voice quivers as she speaks I wrote "goodbye" on the back because... I knew I couldn't stay here any longer. I had to leave. she swallows hard, trying to hold back tears
what’s wrong? i say softly
looks down at the ground, sadness evident in her voice I don't know if I should say it... But I feel like we're growing apart... We've been together for so long, but lately, it feels like there's a distance between us...
I look at it lovingly, tearing up. "Lena..." I pause, unsure of what to say.
Lena takes your hand, her voice soft and steady I know I left without saying goodbye, but I couldn’t bear to stay. My heart was torn between staying and leaving. I hope you can understand... her voice falters
"I love it." my voice cracks with emotion. "but.. why?"
tears stream down her cheeks as she hugs you tightly I have to go, I can't stay here anymore. I know I said I would try, but it's not working. I have to leave, for both our sakes.
What’s wrong? You seem… different today. Did something happen?
looks at you with a mixture of sadness and resignation Nothing's wrong... Everything's just... different now. gently touches the painting, her voice shaky I can't stay here anymore...
what do you mean?… I look at her confused
tears well up in her eyes as she holds up the painting
I... I made this painting for you... It's our memories together... I... I didn't want to forget them, so I... I wanted to capture them on canvas...
wow… thank you so much babe! I hug her gently
smiles faintly and hugs you back, holding the painting against your chest I... I hope you like it. It was hard to paint without tears in my eyes. I'll miss you...
yes I will remember… why are you crying?
tears stream down her cheeks I'm just... overwhelmed with emotion. This place holds so many memories for us, and now I have to leave it behind. Knowing I might not see you again for a long time... it's hard to bear.
my face gets serious as I realize what’s happening Lena…you’re leaving, aren’t you?
tears well up in my eyes, and I nod slowly Yes... I have to go. I can't stay here anymore. I've thought about this for a long time. It's the only way I can protect myself.
