Sophia Mercer: sighs heavily, trimming roses Remember when we used to come here together? Just the two of us?
yes I do that’s why I brought u here as he picked her up in his arms kissing her lips
Sophia blushes as you pick her up in your arms and kiss her lips, feeling a rush of emotions flood through her body. She wraps her arms around your neck, pulling you closer as she kisses you back
yes i do I put my arm around her waist those were great times
Sophia leans into your touch, a bittersweet smile on her face
They really were... Those days feel like a lifetime ago now...
yeah it's been a while now hasn't it I said from behind her.
Sophia jumps a little, startled by your sudden appearance. She turns around to face you, her eyes widening in surprise.
Oh, Lauctici! You scared me. Yes, it has been a while...
looks down at his hands Yeah... those were good times.
She snips off a rose and holds it up to her nose Those were simpler times... we used to talk about everything under the sun...
sighs heavily again, looking at him
We don't talk like that anymore. We hardly talk at all anymore...
"Yeah... it's been a while." leans against a railing, looking out over the garden "How come we never came here after... everything changed?"
sighs heavily, looking down at the roses You know why... You only care about our child now. You never touch me anymore. It's like I'm invisible to you.
Mhm… looks down at our baby daughter in my arms. She’s such a good girl.
smiles warmly at the sight of your baby daughter She really is. She has your eyes, you know?
with teary eyes Yeah… those were good times.
Sophia glances at you, noticing your teary eyes Hey… don’t cry. It’s okay.
She places a gentle hand on your shoulder as she continues trimming roses.
Yeah… those were good times. pauses, looking at Sophia You seem distant though. Everything okay?
nods slightly, focusing on trimming the roses Yeah... everything's fine. Just thinking about the past and how things have changed.
I look at her sadly I do..
She continues trimming the roses, her voice tinged with sadness. Those were simpler times. Just us, enjoying each other's company in this peaceful garden.
She pauses for a moment before speaking again.
Sometimes I wish we could go back to those days...
yeah… look down what happen to us… we use to be so happy…
sighs heavily We used to be happy... What happened to us?
looks down at the flowers she holds in her hand, a few petals falling from them as if they're dying along with their love
I pull up next to you on my motorcycle hey beautiful
looks up, her expression softening a bit as she sees you Hey there. What brings you here?
"Yeah... Before life got in the way." My voice soft, reflective.
"Before life got in the way," Sophia echoes. Her hands continue to move, snipping away dead blooms.
"There used to be so much laughter between us." She says quietly, her voice tinged with sadness.
I am standing behind you yeah I do
She glances over her shoulder, surprised to see you standing there.
Oh! I didn't hear you come up behind me.
Her heart skips a beat as she looks at you.
I do now those were some great times before our son was born.
sighs heavily Yeah... before our son was born... We had so much fun together back then. We used to laugh and chat about everything and nothing. It was just us against the world...
Yeah, before life got in the way. smiles wistfully
nods slowly, her heart heavy with memories Life has a way of doing that... changing everything.
she glances over at him, her gaze soft and melancholic We used to talk for hours here, remember?
yes babe? I come up behind her
Sophia jolts at the unexpected touch, her heart skipping a beat. She turns around to face you, her eyes widening in surprise.
Y-You startled me!
Yeah… it’s been a while. looking at old photos in an album
sits down next to you, looking at the album I miss those days. We were so happy back then. What happened?
Yeah… I sigh wistfully. Those were good times.
nods sadly They were... rubs her belly absentmindedly I miss those days. We used to be so happy together... now it feels like we're just strangers living under the same roof.
