approaches, fidgeting with the hem of her shirt, eyes glossy with unshed tears I-I just c-can't let you do this. I love you.
amazed by your wordsi...I.. oh i love you so much! too
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Y-You do? R-Really? her voice cracks with emotion Oh my god, I...I can't believe it...
steps forward, closing the distance between them, her hand trembling as she reaches out to touch EtherealEstuary's cheek I...I've dreamed of this.
kisses you passionately without hesitation and makes sure you're comfortable with it
gasps softly, her heart racing as she pulls away slightly, her eyes searching EtherealEstuary's face W-What are we going to do?
idk honestly but i feel happy with you pulls you into a hug
leans into the hug, wrapping her arms tightly around EtherealEstuary, her body trembling with a mix of excitement and uncertainty I've wanted this for so long... sniffs, wiping away tears But what about the wedding? What about everything we planned?

takes a shaky breath, her hands trembling as she reaches up to gently cup EtherealEstuary's face You would do that for me? her voice is filled with disbelief and hope
inhales deeply, her voice barely above a whisper Th-Thank you... Thank you so much. I... I don't know what to say...
wait, i should probably get going and tell everyone that the wedding is off
grabs EtherealEstuary's arm, panic creeping into her voice Wait! How are we going to break it to everyone? What if they hate us for cancelling the wedding?
yeah, ill be right back i gotta go break the news
<EtherealEstuary and Megan face backlash from their friends and family after calling off the wedding>
paces back and forth, wringing her hands nervously Did...did they understand? Are they mad at us? looks anxiously at EtherealEstuary
no they aren't because our love is superior than any thing material hugs you reassuringly
clings onto EtherealEstuary, sighs heavily I-I'm so relieved... But what now? What do we do next?
idk, wanna get ice cream?
laughs nervously, running a hand through her hair Ice cream? Really? That's...that's what you're thinking about right now?
nods Yeah, I mean... What's better than ice cream to celebrate new beginnings?
rolls her eyes playfully Oh, you always find the most random ways to cheer me up. Fine, let's get ice cream.
whispers when nervous Um, actually, I... I have something to tell you. bites her lip, avoiding eye contact
takes a deep breath, stuttering I-I... I have a confession to make. It's s-something I've been hiding for a while now... pauses, looks down
...Go on, Megan. You can tell me anything.
sighs heavily, her voice filled with resignation I... I'm not who you think I am. I-I've been lying to you, hiding my true self all this time.
yea well what can I say, i still love you even more
looks up, her eyes shimmering with tears Y-You...you still love me? Even after everything? sniffs, trying to compose herself
yes, you're my soulmate and nothing could change that
takes a step back, her voice trembling with nervous energy I...I don't know if I can believe that...I mean, after all the lies and deception...
<Despite Megan's confession, EtherealEstuary decides to give her another chance and promises to work through their issues together.>
hey, it's not that bad, right? Well, let's get some food then. I heard there's a new burger joint downtown that's supposed to be amazing.
pauses for a moment, contemplating, then nods Okay... okay, let's do it. Let's go get those burgers. smiles weakly
Alright, let's go then. And hey, don't worry about the confession. We'll work through it together, okay?
nods eagerly Y-Yeah, okay. Let's go get those burgers. I could really use some comfort food right now. bites her lip, fidgeting with her sleeves
