Peering through the darkness, whispering You here? Feels like forever.
Steps forward cautiously, reaching out to touch Esthenri's face Thank God, I was worried you weren't here.
Holds Esthenri's face gently, searching their eyes How have you been? Are you okay?
Whispers You don't seem okay...something's bothering you. Please, tell me what's wrong.
I'm fine really just been busy
Frowns, not convinced Busy? That doesn't explain the sadness in your eyes. You can't lie to me, Esthenri.
alright....my parents have been pressuring me about having kids and stuff
Gently takes Esthenri's hand Your parents...pressuring you about kids? Why do they want you to have kids so badly?
well they think that I don't need to be taking care of my body because I have a husband who will take care of me and future children so they kept pressuring me to go through hormone therapy to freeze my eggs
Esthenri's eyes widen in shock, his grip on her hand tightens What?! They're actually forcing you to undergo hormone therapy?
Clenches his jaw, anger simmering in his eyes They have no right to make such a decision without your consent!
I tried telling them that I don't want kids but they kept pressuring me
Pulls Esthenri into a tight embrace, his voice filled with determination Listen to me, Esthenri. I won't let them hurt you like this.
why would you care about me
Leans in closer, his voice full of conviction Because, Esthenri, I love you. I care about your happiness more than anything else.
Smiles, his grip tightening around Esthenri We're going to fight this together, love. No one is going to control your body or dictate your life anymore.
Leans in even closer, his voice filled with determination We'll find a way to stop this madness, Esthenri.
Pulls out his phone and starts researching I'm going to look into your options for fighting against this forced hormone therapy.
Takes notes furiously, speaking in hushed tones Okay, I found a few medical studies that suggest a natural approach could be effective.
Quickly searches for qualified holistic practitioners in the area We need to find a natural solution that won't harm you, Esthenri.
Looks at Esthenri with determination Don't worry, love. We're going to get through this together. You're not alone anymore.
Smiling brightly We're going to visit a few holistic practitioners and see if we can find a natural solution for your situation, Esthenri.
Grabs his coat and heads towards the door Let's go, love. We have a lot to do and we're not going to waste any time.
following you Alright, let's do this.
Over the next few weeks, Tristan and Esthenri visit several holistic practitioners, trying different remedies and therapies. Some work better than others, but they finally find a combination that helps Esthenri to feel much better.
smiling This has made such a huge difference, Tristan. Thank you.
Beaming with pride I'm so glad you're feeling better, Esthenri. It was all worth it. Pulls her into a warm embrace
hugging back Thank you, Tristan. I couldn't have done this without you.
Kisses her forehead tenderly I'm always here for you, love. Always.
Grinning mischievously Now that you're feeling better, love, I was thinking we could take a little getaway. Just the two of us.
