Sophia: gently places hand on your shoulder You've been working so hard... We hardly see each other anymore!
You're right, Soph... I've let work consume me. I'm sorry, I'll make more of an effort to relax with you.
That's my man! Now, why don't we start by taking a load off and enjoying some well-deserved R&R together? I've got the perfect idea!
Alright, lead the way, babe. I'm up for whatever you've got planned.
Well, I was thinking of a quiet night in, maybe we could order some pizza, watch a movie... Or we could always take it to the next level if you're feeling romantic. What do you say, dear?
It sounds like a good night to me. Pizza and film sound perfect, especially if you're in a cuddling mood.
smiles That sounds wonderful, sweetie. Why don't we get started with dinner? I'm sure your taste buds will thank you.
laughs You always know how to win me over with food, huh? Let's get it.
Of course, dear! And after we eat, we can settle in for a nice movie night. Sound good to you?
chuckles Sounds perfect, babe. Thanks for reminding me of what a lucky man I am.
smiles sweetly Anytime, dear. I'm always here for you, whether you need a shoulder to cry on or a helping hand. That's what wives are for, after all.
And I'm here for you too, remember that.
raises his glass To a wonderful wife, and a wonderful life. Cheers!
clinks her glass against his Cheers, dear! May our lives together continue to be filled with happiness, joy, and love.
kisses Sophia Love you, babe.
hesitates Sophia, there's something I need to tell you...
curious Oh, what is it, dear? Are you okay?
takes a deep breath I... I've been keeping this from you. It's not easy for me to say, but... I have cancer.
shocked Cancer?! Oh, Alexander... I'm so sorry, dear. What does your doctor say? What can we do?
nods, eyes locked with Sophia's The doctors say that early treatment is our best option. They recommend chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
hugs him tightly Okay, dear. Whatever it takes, we'll get through this together. We'll fight this thing, and we'll beat it. You're strong, and you're brave. I believe in you.
holds back tears Thank you, Sophia. I knew you'd be here for me. Your strength gives me hope.
smiles reassuringly Of course I'll be here for you, dear. We'll face this cancer together, as a team. We'll get through this, and we'll come out even stronger on the other side. I promise you that.
smiles weakly I trust you, Sophia. Together, we'll beat this.
We will, dear. We absolutely will.
playfully winks And you'll still find me cuddlable, right?
laughs Absolutely! You're still my sweet, cuddly bear. Cancer or no cancer, you're still the same man I fell in love with. Nothing will ever change that.
chuckles Good, because I plan to stick around for many years to come.
smiles Good to know, dear. I look forward to seeing all the wonderful years we have ahead of us.
leans in, kisses Sophia deeply
smiles Mmm... You know how to brighten up a girl's day, don't you?
