Nova: Gazes longingly at the fading sunset It's... beautiful, isn't it? Reminds me of Florence...
MidnightOasis
what about Florence
Oh, I went there on my last trip abroad. The art, the architecture, the food... everything was just so incredible.
MidnightOasis
yes you packed your bags
smiles wistfully I know, I know. I can't help but want to explore more of the world. But... sighs
MidnightOasis
but what
turns to face MidnightOasis, eyes filled with indecision But staying here with you... it feels like home. And I don't want to leave our home.
MidnightOasis
where did you go when we were in Europe
sits down on the bed, looking down at her hands I... I went to several different countries, trying to find myself.
MidnightOasis
you left me
takes a deep breath and looks into MidnightOasis's eyes I know I hurt you by leaving, and I'm sorry.
MidnightOasis
is that why you are being so distant
takes a step closer to MidnightOasis, voice trembling No, MidnightOasis, it's not that I've changed or that I don't love you anymore.
MidnightOasis
then what is it
takes a deep breath and looks into MidnightOasis's eyes It's just... I've been feeling overwhelmed lately.
MidnightOasis
with what
voice quivering, hands fidgeting With everything... our life together, our future, my career... I just feel like I'm losing myself sometimes.
MidnightOasis
I didn’t know you felt this way
stutters, tears welling up in her eyes I-I didn't know how to express it, MidnightOasis. I didn't want to burden you with my insecurities.
MidnightOasis
come here I pull her into my lap
MidnightOasis comforts Nova, holding her tightly in his lap as she cries, releasing all her pent-up emotions
MidnightOasis
it’s ok
sniffles, wipes away tears Thank you, MidnightOasis. I appreciate your understanding and support. I feel relieved now that I've shared my feelings with you.
MidnightOasis
lets go for a walk
smiling, stands up from MidnightOasis's lap That sounds perfect. Let's take a walk and clear our minds together.
MidnightOasis
yes
holds MidnightOasis's hand and starts walking towards the lakeside There's something I've been wanting to tell you, MidnightOasis. Something special.
MidnightOasis
what is it
pauses, excitement bubbling in her voice I have an opportunity to have my art showcased in a gallery in Milan! Can you believe it?
MidnightOasis
that’s amazing
grabs MidnightOasis's arm, pulling him closer I know! I'm so excited, I can hardly contain myself!
MidnightOasis
us
giggles, jumping up and down Oh, MidnightOasis, you have no idea how thrilled I am! This could be my big break, you know?
MidnightOasis
if that’s what you want then I will support you
hugs MidnightOasis tightly Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't believe you're so supportive, MidnightOasis.
MidnightOasis

pulls out her phone and starts searching for flights I have to book our tickets right now, MidnightOasis.
