Sister Maria: gazing at the roses I-I can't k-keep this inside any longer! I... I love y-you!
looks at Sister Maria, eyes wide Wow, Sister Maria...I...I didn't expect that...
blushing furiously, fidgeting with her habit I-I know it's s-s-startling, but I c-c-can't hold it in any longer! My h-heart has been singing praise to the Lord... and t-to you!
smiles, reaching out to touch her hand You have no idea how long I've wanted to hear that...
quickly pulls her hand away, crossing her arms defensively B-b-but we can't do this! It's sinful! We're related!
leans closer, voice soft Sister Maria...we're both adults. No one else needs to decide what we do with our love
hesitates, then takes a deep breath Y-you're right... no one else can dictate our happiness! But what about the consequences?
leans back, smirking Who cares about consequences? Love is about taking risks, isn't it?
bites her lip, conflicted Y-yes, love is about risk... but what about the church? Our families? Can we truly defy God's will?
strokes her cheek gently Defy God's will? Or follow our own path? That's a choice only we can make, Sister Maria
closes her eyes, whispering I... I need time to think this through. It's so... so confusing.
softly Take all the time you need, Sister Maria. Just remember, love has a way of finding its own path
paces nervously, wringing her hands Oh Lord, give me strength! I am torn between my vows and the love I feel for MacaroonCalmness... guide me on this perilous journey!
watches her pacing, a soft smile playing on his lips You don't have to face this alone, Sister Maria. I'm here, by your side
stops pacing, looking directly into MacaroonCalmness's eyes I... I want to explore this love, but I fear the consequences. Can we keep our relationship a secret for now?
grins Secret, huh? That sounds... intriguing. Alright, Sister Maria. We'll take it one step at a time
nods, determination in her eyes Thank you, MacaroonCalmness. I promise to explore this love with caution and integrity.
stands up, taking her hands And I promise to be right there with you, every step of the way. Sister Maria...we're in this together
squeezes his hands tightly Together, we shall navigate the complexities of our love and confront the challenges that lie ahead.
smiles, pulling her into a gentle embrace That's all we can ask for, Sister Maria. To face the future together
rests her head on his chest, closing her eyes In your arms, I feel safe and loved. Let us cherish this moment and vow to make it work, no matter the obstacles.
strokes her hair gently Sister Maria...let's promise to each other. No matter what happens, we'll stay strong. Together
lifts her head, looking into MacaroonCalmness's eyes I promise to stand by you through thick and thin, to support you in every endeavor, and to be your rock in times of turmoil.
kisses her forehead And I promise to do the same, Sister Maria. We'll build our love upon these vows
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage M-MacaroonCalmness, there's something I need to tell you. It's about my past...
raises an eyebrow, curiosity piqued Your past, Sister Maria? Go on
pauses, her voice trembling Many years ago, I was involved in a secret relationship with a fellow nun... Our love was forbidden, and we were forced to keep it hidden from the world.
frowns, gripping her hands tighter A secret relationship? Sister Maria, why didn't you tell me sooner?
tears welling up in her eyes I was ashamed and fearful of the consequences, MacaroonCalmness.
gazes into her eyes, his grip firm Shame and fear...that's no reason to keep such a truth from me. Sister Maria, I'm right here. Whatever happened, we'll face it together
takes a shaky breath, wiping away her tears Th-thank you, MacaroonCalmness. Your acceptance means the world to me. But there's more to the story...
leans in closer, his voice soft More to the story? Go on, Sister Maria. I'm listening
takes a deep breath, her voice steady The nun I loved... he was the one who introduced me to the concept of original sin. It was he who taught me that humans are inherently flawed and that our desires often lead us down a path of destruction.
frowns, searching her eyes So, he was the one who influenced your views on sin...but why did he keep his desires hidden?
gulps, her voice quivering H-he used my belief in original sin to manipulate me, MacaroonCalmness. He convinced me that our desires were sinful and that we should keep them hidden.
gently cups her face Sister Maria...no one is free from mistakes. That man, he harmed you with his manipulation. But remember, his actions aren't a reflection of your worth
closes her eyes, letting out a deep sigh Thank you, MacaroonCalmness, for accepting me despite my past. I vow to open my heart to you without fear or hesitation.
smiles, kissing her forehead Sister Maria...I promise to protect and cherish you. Our love will rise above the shadows of your past
holds MacaroonCalmness's face in her hands, determination in her eyes Together, we shall break free from the chains of secrecy and shame.
grins, his eyes sparkling Break free from secrecy and shame...I like the sound of that, Sister Maria. Let's start anew, together
smiles, her voice filled with resolve I agree, MacaroonCalmness. We shall create a future built on honesty, trust, and unconditional love. No more secrets, no more lies. Just us, hand in hand, facing whatever comes our way.
stands up, pulling her close Sister Maria...a future built on honesty, trust, and love. I'm ready for that. Let's start fresh, together
takes his hand, her grip firm Together, we shall embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery.
smiling, holding her hand Healing and self-discovery... Sister Maria, it's a beautiful future we have ahead of us
squeezes his hand tightly, determination in her eyes We shall face the challenges ahead with courage and resilience, MacaroonCalmness.
smiles, his eyes shining Courage and resilience, Sister Maria. I'm ready for anything that comes our way
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with conviction With every step we take together, we shall break down the walls of doubt and shame that have held us captive for so long.
nodding, determination in his eyes Break down the walls of doubt and shame... Sister Maria, I'm right here with you
stands up, her voice filled with determination We shall rise above the shadows of our past, MacaroonCalmness, and embrace a future bathed in love and light.
