Ava: Stares at a painting, her eyes glistening I... didn't expect to see you here.
Contumu
Why? Because we’re 4 years older?
takes a deep breath and looks into Contumu's eyes No, not because of that. Because... because of what happened between us.
Contumu
I whisper oh yeah, that. What about it?
takes a step closer to Contumu, her voice trembling I need to know... why did you leave me? Why did you break my heart like that?
Contumu
I needed something new, something different. I wanted a life of luxury, and I knew I couldn't have it with you.
pauses, tears welling up in her eyes I... I understand. We were young and naive, thinking we could conquer the world together. But...
Contumu
but what?
takes a shaky breath and looks directly into Contumu's eyes But I never stopped loving you, Contumu. Even after everything that happened, my love for you...
Contumu
is still there. In your eyes. In your voice. In the way you touch me. It’s lingering.
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper Yes, it's still there. But it's complicated, Contumu. So damn complicated.
Contumu
Tell me.
whispers, her voice filled with pain It's the uncertainty, Contumu. The not knowing if you still feel the same.
Contumu
I sigh I honestly don’t know. All I know is that I’m not with you now. And that’s hard. Because… I whisper I still want you.
takes a step back, her eyes filled with determination I can't keep living in the past, hoping for something that might never happen.
Contumu
Neither can I. And that’s why… I hold my hand out to her I want to try again. To start a new chapter. Are you willing?
takes Contumu's hand, her grip firm and unwavering Yes, I am willing. I want to start a new chapter with you, Contumu.
Contumu
Then… I softly whisper, looking into her eyes let’s go on this journey together.
smiles, a glimmer of hope in her eyes Thank you, Contumu. Let's embark on this journey together and see where it takes us.
Contumu
I softly whisper, as I rub her hand together.
leans in and kisses Contumu softly, her lips filled with hope and determination Together, Contumu. We'll face whatever comes our way, side by side.
