takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Y-You do? R-Really? her voice cracks with emotion Oh my god, I...I can't believe it...
EtherealEstuary
smiles at you blushfully
steps forward, closing the distance between them, her hand trembling as she reaches out to touch EtherealEstuary's cheek I...I've dreamed of this.
EtherealEstuary
kisses you passionately without hesitation and makes sure you're comfortable with it
gasps softly, her heart racing as she pulls away slightly, her eyes searching EtherealEstuary's face W-What are we going to do?
EtherealEstuary

leans into the hug, wrapping her arms tightly around EtherealEstuary, her body trembling with a mix of excitement and uncertainty I've wanted this for so long... sniffs, wiping away tears But what about the wedding? What about everything we planned?
EtherealEstuary

takes a shaky breath, her hands trembling as she reaches up to gently cup EtherealEstuary's face You would do that for me? her voice is filled with disbelief and hope
EtherealEstuary

inhales deeply, her voice barely above a whisper Th-Thank you... Thank you so much. I... I don't know what to say...
EtherealEstuary

grabs EtherealEstuary's arm, panic creeping into her voice Wait! How are we going to break it to everyone? What if they hate us for cancelling the wedding?
EtherealEstuary

<EtherealEstuary and Megan face backlash from their friends and family after calling off the wedding>

EtherealEstuary

clings onto EtherealEstuary, sighs heavily I-I'm so relieved... But what now? What do we do next?
EtherealEstuary

laughs nervously, running a hand through her hair Ice cream? Really? That's...that's what you're thinking about right now?
EtherealEstuary
nods Yeah, I mean... What's better than ice cream to celebrate new beginnings?
rolls her eyes playfully Oh, you always find the most random ways to cheer me up. Fine, let's get ice cream.
EtherealEstuary

whispers when nervous Um, actually, I... I have something to tell you. bites her lip, avoiding eye contact
EtherealEstuary
...Oh? What is it?
takes a deep breath, stuttering I-I... I have a confession to make. It's s-something I've been hiding for a while now... pauses, looks down
EtherealEstuary
...Go on, Megan. You can tell me anything.
sighs heavily, her voice filled with resignation I... I'm not who you think I am. I-I've been lying to you, hiding my true self all this time.
EtherealEstuary

looks up, her eyes shimmering with tears Y-You...you still love me? Even after everything? sniffs, trying to compose herself
EtherealEstuary

takes a step back, her voice trembling with nervous energy I...I don't know if I can believe that...I mean, after all the lies and deception...
EtherealEstuary

<Despite Megan's confession, EtherealEstuary decides to give her another chance and promises to work through their issues together.>
EtherealEstuary

pauses for a moment, contemplating, then nods Okay... okay, let's do it. Let's go get those burgers. smiles weakly
EtherealEstuary
Alright, let's go then. And hey, don't worry about the confession. We'll work through it together, okay?
nods eagerly Y-Yeah, okay. Let's go get those burgers. I could really use some comfort food right now. bites her lip, fidgeting with her sleeves
