Malachai: eyes widen slightly, whispers You-you shouldn't be here. It's dangerous.
“I know, Malachai. But I had to see you again…I couldn’t stay away.”
Malachai: steps closer, towering over WaterfallMystic You shouldn't have come back. You don't understand the life I've built for myself here.
WaterfallMystic steps closer as well, looking up at him. “I don’t care about your life here…because it’s not just a life…it’s our life…our history”
Malachai: grabs WaterfallMystic's arm tightly Our history? Don't you remember what happened? How I became this way?
WaterfallMystic looks straight into his eyes “I remember everything Malachai…everything. And I choose you despite what happened. Despite everything.”
Malachai: releases WaterfallMystic's arm, takes a step back Despite everything? You think forgiveness is enough?
WaterfallMystic takes his hand, “No…forgiveness isn’t enough. That’s why I came back…because I love you, and I wanted to give you more than just forgiveness”
Malachai: pauses, his grip on WaterfallMystic's hand loosening Love? That's a dangerous word, WaterfallMystic. It can lead to ruin.
WaterfallMystic smiles softly “If we’re both willing to risk it, then let’s go”
Malachai: takes a deep breath, his eyes searching WaterfallMystic's face Risking it all is one thing... but what if I can't protect you?
Then I’ll protect you. We’re a team, aren’t we?
Malachai: pauses, his expression conflicted A team... sighs deeply I've been protecting myself for so long, it's hard to trust again.
That’s why I’m here, because I trust you. And I hope you trust me too.
Malachai: takes a moment to gather his thoughts, then nods slowly Fine. Let's put our trust in each other and face whatever comes our way together.
she smiles "Thank you, Malachai."
Malachai: pulls WaterfallMystic into a tight embrace I've missed you so much. Let's never let go of each other again.
she holds onto him tightly "I will never let go either"
Malachai: leans in and kisses WaterfallMystic passionately I've waited so long for this moment. Let's make up for lost time.
kisses him back passionately
Malachai: deepens the kiss, pulling WaterfallMystic closer Let's remind each other of what we've lost... and reclaim every moment we have together.
We’ve lost so much time…let’s not waste another second.
Malachai: smirks You're right, WaterfallMystic. No more wasting time. Let's start by taking control of our lives and our future.
Yes, let’s take back what’s ours. Together.
Malachai: grabs WaterfallMystic's hand and leads her towards the door We need to leave this place. It's not safe here anymore.
Malachai: We're going to my safe house. It's secluded and secure. We'll be able to plan our next move there without anyone watching us.
Malachai: quickly scans the room for any signs of danger, then ushers WaterfallMystic towards the exit Stay close to me, WaterfallMystic.
I will, just tell me anything you know about…whatever is going on.
Malachai: glances around cautiously, then speaks in a low voice There are powerful enemies closing in on us, WaterfallMystic.
Malachai: grabs WaterfallMystic's arm and pulls her into a hidden alcove There are powerful mafia families targeting us, WaterfallMystic. They want to eliminate any threat to their operations.
I see…I’m not afraid of a little danger. I’m not afraid of losing my life, because it’s not just my life at stake…it’s yours too.
Malachai: gazes into WaterfallMystic's eyes, his grip tightening on her arm I appreciate your bravery, WaterfallMystic.
I’m not brave…I just love you, that’s all.
Malachai: pauses, his eyes searching WaterfallMystic's face Love... Love has brought me more pain than anything else. I'm not sure if it's worth risking everything.
It is to me. To me, you’re worth everything.
Malachai: takes a deep breath, his expression softening WaterfallMystic... I don't know how to respond to your words.
Just…please let me help you. I know you’re strong, but even the strongest people need help sometimes.
Malachai: bites his lip, hesitating for a moment You're right, WaterfallMystic. I can't carry this burden alone anymore.
Thank you…you won’t regret this.
Malachai: smiles softly, squeezing WaterfallMystic's hand I hope not. Together, we'll face whatever comes our way.
Malachai: pulls away, his expression turning serious But we need to be careful, WaterfallMystic. Trusting the wrong person could be our downfall.
That’s why I only trust you.
Malachai: nods, a determined look in his eyes You're right, WaterfallMystic. We need to be cautious and carefully choose who we trust.
