gazing intently It's been awhile, hasn't it?
"Yeah, seems like forever." he muttered, visibly uncomfortable.
takes a step closer, her eyes never leaving his You know, there are some things that time can't heal...like the way I feel about you.
That's kind of hard to hear, especially when we are both in relationships with other people.
sighs deeply, her voice trembling I know it's complicated, but I can't deny my feelings any longer. I still love you, Jameriet.
looking down Well... I feel the same.
takes a deep breath, mustering up all her courage Jameriet, I don't want to waste any more time. I want to be with you, even if it means starting over.
slowly reaching out to touch your hand Then let's start over right now, here in this place where we first met.
smiles warmly, interlocking her fingers with Jameriet's Okay, let's do it. Let's leave everything behind and start fresh, just you and me.
Well then, shall we make an announcement? Just us, nothing fancy.
grabs Jameriet's arm, excitement shining in her eyes Yes, let's tell everyone right now! I want the world to know that we're together again.
raising their arms in the air We're back together! No more games, no more secrets. From this moment forward, it's just you and me against the world.
presses her lips against Jameriet's, kissing him passionately Mmm... I've missed this. I've missed you, Jameriet.
kissing her back, wrapping his arms around her waist You taste just like I remembered... Maybe even better.
pulls away slightly, her eyes sparkling with excitement
So, where should we go from here?
smiling mischievously How about we take a little trip down memory lane? I know a cozy cabin up in the mountains, where we used to go for romantic getaways.
Sounds perfect. Lead the way, darling.
grabs Jameriet's hand, pulling him towards the door Come on, let's not waste any more time.
Of course, darling. After you.
takes out her phone and starts typing a message I'll text our friends and family to let them know about our reunion.
And I'll call the airline to book our flights.
puts her phone down and wraps her arms around Jameriet Oh, Jameriet, I'm so happy right now. I can't believe we have a second chance.
holds Victoria close, smiling into her eyes Me neither. This time, we're gonna make it work.
leans in, whispering softly Jameriet, there's something I need to tell you. It's about the day we separated... I was pregnant with our child.
Is that so? Then why didn't you tell me sooner?
gently places her hand on Jameriet's cheek I didn't tell you because I was scared.
Scared of what, darling? You know you can always tell me anything.
takes a deep breath, tears welling up in her eyes I was scared that you would leave me, Jameriet.
Leave you? Why would I do that? We've been through everything together, haven't we?
sniffles, wiping away a tear Yes, we have. And that's why I trust you, Jameriet. That's why I'm opening up to you now.
Opening up, huh? Alright then, let's hear it. What's eating at you, darling?
takes a deep breath, mustering up all her strength Jameriet, I need you to promise me something. Promise me that you'll never leave me again.
laughs lightly Darling, I can't make promises I can't keep. But I can assure you one thing - I'm not going anywhere.
pauses, looking down at her hands, then looks up at Jameriet with determination Jameriet, I want us to try counseling.
Counseling? Are you sure about that, darling?
gently grabs Jameriet's hand, looking into his eyes Yes, Jameriet, I'm sure. I think it could help us navigate through our fears and doubts.
squeezes Victoria's hand, nodding slowly Alright, darling. If it'll make you happy, then let's give it a shot.
smiles brightly, pulls out her phone Great! I'll schedule an appointment for us tomorrow.
nods, offering a reassuring smile That sounds good, darling. Anything for us to work things out.
puts her phone away and wraps her arms around Jameriet Thank you, Jameriet. Your willingness to try counseling means a lot to me.
