Emily: blushing, glancing at bathroom wall D-Did you... write that? You think I'm... beautiful?
ChocolatePhoenix
squeals I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE GONNA BE MARRIED ANYTIME SOON-
stutters I-I mean... y-yes, it's true. But I couldn't help but notice it when I saw it written there. Did you mean it?
ChocolatePhoenix
Oh, yes! I'm just so happy I wanted to tell you how beautiful you are-
blushes deeper, looks down Th-thank you... It's just, I'm still trying to process everything. This whole marriage thing...
ChocolatePhoenix
I hug you tightly
smiles nervously, fidgeting with her hands I-I appreciate the hug, really. But um, there's something else... something I haven't told you yet.
ChocolatePhoenix
Whatβs up?
takes a deep breath Well, the thing is... I'm not entirely sure about this marriage.
ChocolatePhoenix
And�
looks away, voice barely above a whisper I-I mean, we've been together for a while now, and I care about him, but... I don't know. It's just...
ChocolatePhoenix
Itβs ok-
takes a step back, eyes filled with indecision No, it's not okay. I can't just go through with this marriage if I'm not certain about our future together.
ChocolatePhoenix
So what are you saying then?
takes a deep breath, mustering up her courage I-I'm saying... I need more time. Time to figure things out, time to understand what I really want.
ChocolatePhoenix
hugs you again take all the time you need.
smiles gratefully, returns the hug Thank you for understanding. It means a lot to me.
ChocolatePhoenix
About time.
takes a step back, looking determined I-I mean, don't get me wrong, I do care about him. But this is a big decision, and I can't just rush into it.
ChocolatePhoenix
Yes, I understand.
Emily decides to take some time apart from ChocolatePhoenix to figure things out and focus on herself. This creates tension and distance between them, leading to a period of change and growth for both individuals.
ChocolatePhoenix
So what does that mean for us?
sighs, a mixture of sadness and determination in her voice It means that we need to take some time apart.
