Sophia: approaches you, a smirk on her lips Ready to leave this beach?
okay but wait when you said you want to have a baby I’m scared that we won’t be able to get to that moment
leans in closer, her eyes filled with determination Mlateen, listen to me. I may be scared too, but we can face this together.
pulls mlateen into a passionate embrace, her hands gripping his shirt tightly We can't let fear hold us back, mlateen. We've come too far to let doubt tear us apart.
how did you find the courage to start dating and having a baby at the same time?
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with vulnerability It wasn't easy, mlateen. It took a lot of strength and sacrifice.
i know because i’ve been through something similar but it’s not easy for me either
smiles softly, her grip tightening on mlateen's hand Thank you for understanding, mlateen. It means the world to me.
pauses, her gaze distant as she recalls the past Well, mlateen, it all started a few years ago.
you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to but if you do it’ll help me out
takes a deep breath, her voice steady I was working as a waitress in a busy New York City restaurant. It was tough, mlateen. Long hours, low pay, and constant harassment from my boss.
i’m sorry you had to go through that
clenches her fists, her voice filled with anger One night, things came to a head. My boss started making unwanted advances towards me.
i hug you it’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it
leans into mlateen's embrace, tears welling up in her eyes Thank you, mlateen. It means so much to me that you're here for me.
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination After that night, I realized I couldn't keep living like this.
i know i went through something similar and i ended up being groomed by my dad
gently wipes away mlateen's tears I'm so sorry you had to go through that, mlateen. But we're strong, remember? We won't let our past define us.
no we will not i fought back and now my sister and I are off living our lives the way we want

we make love along the beach as the sun sets
rests her head on mlateen's shoulder, her voice soft and loving I never thought I'd find such peace in the simplest moments.
giggles playfully Who knew making love on the beach would be so therapeutic? It's like the waves cleanse us of all our worries.
