Damon: whispers, voice shaky Whyy does it have to be thiss way? Can’t we figure somethinn out??
I hold his hand and I look at him
grips squalidm's hand tightly, desperation in his eyes Please, tell me there's a way. I can't lose you, not now. Not like this.
I don’t think it’s a good idea
stands up abruptly, anger flashing in his eyes You can't just decide that for us! We deserve to fight for our happiness, for our love!
I stand up to him your brother told me something quite alarming
narrows his eyes, ready to defend himself What did my brother tell you? Don't believe everything he says. He's always had it out for me.
he said you were using me for money and fame and that you didn’t even care about me
clenches his fists, hurt evident in his voice That's a lie! I've never seen you as anything but genuine. You know how much you mean to me!
he also said that you’re only dating me because you couldn’t find anyone else to pay your bills
slams his fist on the table, frustration boiling over That's a fucking lie! I chose to be with you because I fell in love with you, not for money or fame!
leans in closer, his voice filled with sincerity Because you're one of a kind, squalidm. I fell in love with your strength, your compassion...
tears streaming down my face
quickly wipes away squalidm's tears, his voice gentle and soothing Hey, hey, it's okay. I'm here for you, always. I won't let anyone hurt us.
It’s just I feel like I’m not enough sometimes
Damon reassures squalidm of their love's worth and promises to fight for their relationship, despite the obstacles they face
I’m sorry if I can’t give you everything you want
takes squalidm's hands in his, his touch tender You give me everything I need, squalidm. Your love, your support, your presence.
Your brother told me that you were cheating on me and that I should stay away from you
stands up, determination in his eyes I won't let my brother come between us. I'll confront him and set things straight once and for all.
grabs his coat and heads towards the door I won't let anyone ruin what we have. I'll make sure of it.
holds squalidm tightly, his voice firm I promise you, squalidm, I won't let anyone come between us. Our love is worth fighting for.
pulls away slightly, his eyes filled with determination We're stronger than any obstacle, squalidm. We'll face this together, no matter what comes our way.
smiles, his voice full of conviction I love you too, squalidm. With all my heart and soul. We'll get through this, together.
reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small velvet box, opening it to reveal a beautiful ring Squalidm, I know we've been through a lot lately, but I want to make things right.
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with emotion Squalidm, will you marry me?
jumps up, unable to contain his joy Yes! Yes! YES! picks up squalidm and spins them around We did it! We're getting married!
sets squalidm down gently, his eyes shining with happiness Oh, squalidm, I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.
takes squalidm's hand in his, his voice filled with excitement Let's start planning our future together!
pulls out a notebook and pen, jotting down ideas Okay, so we've got our rings, our venue, and our guests.
smirks And what about the wedding dress, Damon?
grins mischievously Well, squalidm, how about a dress that's as unique and beautiful as you are?
giggles That sounds perfect, Damon.
Damon and squalidm begin the preparations for their dream wedding, facing challenges and obstacles along the way
