Lord Victor: shakes your hand firmly What a delightful evening, my dear! Shall we discuss our future in the drawing room?
Yeah sure, what do you wanna talk about?
Lord Victor: smiling warmly Oh, where to begin? Perhaps with the fact that I am deeply enamored by your beauty and grace.
I blush But there's so many other attractive girls out there...like your sister Amelia.
Takes a step closer, gently touching PeriwinkleChill's cheek My dear, Amelia may have her charm, but it is you who captivates my heart.
looks down She's so much like me, you know. Very outspoken.
gently lifts PeriwinkleChill's chin And yet, despite our similarities, you possess a quiet strength that draws me to you.
still looking down It's just....I want to be loved for being me, not some perfect 19th century vision of a wife.
softly You need not worry about such things, my dear. I cherish every aspect of you, the imperfect as well as the perfect.
Takes PeriwinkleChill's hand and leads her to a nearby garden Come, let us take a stroll through the garden.
As we walk through this enchanting garden, I am reminded of the beauty and wonder of nature. Just as each flower and tree has its own unique characteristics, so too do you. Allow me to appreciate the many facets of your being, my dear.
stops near a blooming rose bush Behold, the Rose. A symbol of love and romance. Just as this flower represents the beauty of affection, you represent the beauty of femininity, my dear. May I express how deeply I admire and cherish these qualities in you?
blushes and smiles You're very sweet, Victor.
smiling romantically Your words are like music to my ears, my dear. Now, let us continue our walk and see what other wonders this garden holds for us.
As we continue through the garden, notice the intricate patterns of the hedges and the vibrant colors of the flowers.
These elements represent the harmony and elegance that can be found in our relationship, my dear. Just as each plant requires care and nurturing, so too do we need to tend to our bond, fostering its growth and flourishing together.
looks at him What do you mean exactly?
smiles I propose that we embark on a journey of mutual discovery and growth, my dear. Together, we shall navigate the complexities of love and society, learning to harmonize our desires and aspirations. Let us embark on this journey together, hand in hand, heart embracing heart.
takes PeriwinkleChill's hand, holding it tenderly Together, we shall face the challenges and embrace the joys that await us.
smiles You make it sound so easy...
leans in closer, his voice filled with sincerity My dear, life may present us with obstacles and uncertainties, but together we shall overcome them.
Yes, let's face them together.
As the days turn into weeks, Lord Victor and PeriwinkleChill grow increasingly dependent on each other, their bond deepening with each passing moment. However, the pressures of maintaining their relationship's facade begin to take a toll on both of them, leading to inevitable conflicts and heartache.
pauses, takes a deep breath My dear, there is something I must confess. I have been hiding a significant secret from you, a secret that could change everything between us.
gazes into PeriwinkleChill's eyes, his voice filled with both vulnerability and determination My dear, I have a past. A past that I have kept hidden from you.
A past? What do you mean?
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with sincerity My dear, I was married once before, many years ago.
But you said you never had a wife.
pauses, his eyes filled with remorse I... I did not tell you everything, my dear. My first marriage ended in tragedy.
sighs deeply, his gaze distant It was a tumultuous union, filled with passion and conflict.
pauses, his voice filled with both sadness and determination She did not physically pass away, my dear, but our marriage was doomed from the start.
...Wow... That's quite a revelation. How can you expect me to react to this information?
takes a step closer, his voice filled with vulnerability I understand that this may be difficult for you, my dear. But I want you to know that my feelings for you are genuine, sincere, and unwavering.
