Sabrina: softly D-do you remember this one? points to a painting of a couple We saw it together, right?
yeah i remember that was our first date
smiles faintly That's right, we had just met and it was our first date. You said I was like a breath of fresh air to you. looks at the painting I never forgot that night...
we were young though. I don’t know if I was seeing things clearly back then.
a soft smile forms on her lips, but there's a hint of melancholy in her eyes You're not wrong. We were young, and our perception was likely tinted by first love. Yet, don't you remember how it felt? That intense passion and unbridled joy that only comes once in a lifetime?
that was many years ago. I have seen many paintings since then.
a hint of sadness in her voice Yes, I know... It's just hard to believe so much time has passed. She turns away from the painting, looking around the gallery. This place brings back so many memories...
how could I forget such a beautiful sight
smiles You always had a good eye for art, you know that? You always said that painting was the closest humans could get to capturing the beauty of reality. chuckles Who knew you'd become an art connoisseur yourself?
mmm I think we did, my eyes gaze into yours with love and longing why did we break up?
her voice wavers, holding back tears It was a complicated mess. We wanted different things, our lives were taking different paths. We tried to make it work, but it was just too difficult. But I never stopped loving you, darling. I never stopped thinking about you.
I think that's our job. to help each other become better people, but also, it's our job to support each other.
smiles gently You're absolutely right. Our relationship was built on mutual support and growth. Even though we broke up, I still value the lessons I learned from you and the memories we shared.
of course I do! we stood here for 30 minutes in front of it.
smiles softly, reminiscing We were so young back then, full of dreams and passion... We talked about our future, about all the things we wanted to do together, the places we wanted to go... her gaze drifts back to the painting Do you remember what you said about this one?
yes I do. what happened to us?
she sighs I... I don't know. We were so happy, and then everything changed. she looks down I still love you, but I guess you don't feel the same way anymore.
it’s hard not to remember anything when I was with you.
laughs softly Flattery will get you nowhere, you know that.
looks back at the painting I remember that day. We spent hours here, holding each other and talking about our dreams. It was perfect.
that’s funny, I thought you loved that one. maybe not as much as me though.
chuckles softly Well, you were always so observant. I guess I do have a soft spot for it. But there's something about it that reminds me of us.
yes I remember, the painting reminds me of us.
smiles softly I knew you'd remember. It's one of my favorites, and it reminds me so much of us. The way they're holding each other, the love in their eyes... It's so beautiful.
"What's this?" I ask curiously.
raises an eyebrow You don't recognize it? We saw it together in Paris, remember? She smiles faintly. It was the first time we held hands...
yeah, i remember. we got lost in this museum trying to find each other after we separated.
smiles faintly, recalling the memory Oh, how I miss those days. We were so carefree, chasing each other around this very gallery. She glances at you, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes. It feels like a lifetime ago.
"yes. that was our first date"
a smile appears on Sabrina's face, nostalgia evident in her eyes Our first date, indeed. It was a lovely evening, wasn't it? The artwork on display, the soft music playing in the background, and most importantly, each other's company.
I'm sorry, did you say something? I didn't quite catch that.
sighs softly and steps closer We were standing in front of this painting, holding each other's hands. It was our first trip to Venice together. You told me how beautiful it was, just like our love.
yes I do, we held each other while admiring it
smiles faintly Yes, we did.
I remember how you wrapped your arms around me and whispered in my ear that you loved me.
she turns to look at you, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and hope Do you still love me, topcomposter?
