Amara: softly Hey... it's been a while, hasn't it?
Fleming
hi, do you need something?
takes a deep breath, hands trembling slightly I need to tell you something. Something that I've kept hidden for a long time. It's about... us.
Fleming
okay go ahead
pauses, then speaks with determination We are siblings. You are my brother. I've kept this secret for so long because I was afraid of losing you.
Fleming
i think we both know that's not true
nervously glancing around You may not believe me now, but I promise you, it's the truth. I've been researching our family history, and I found out everything.
Fleming
ok, then spill it
takes out a folder filled with documents and pictures Look, these are the proof. Our parents adopted me when I was just a child.
Fleming
oh my, i'm sorry to hear that...
puts a hand on Fleming's shoulder Thank you for understanding. It means the world to me. But there's more to the story.
Fleming
alright, go ahead
takes a deep breath Our parents... they passed away in a car accident shortly after adopting me.
Fleming
sorry to hear that...
smiles sadly Thank you, Fleming. It's been a heavy burden to carry, but sharing this with you brings me some relief.
Fleming
do you want me to call you amara?
whispers That would mean the world to me. Calling me by my real name... it feels like a connection to my true self. Thank you, Fleming.
Fleming
no problem, amara... and i hope you can call me fleming
smiles warmly Of course, Fleming. From now on, I'll call you that. It feels right, somehow. Like we're reconnecting after all these years.
Fleming
do you want to meet up sometime?
excitedly Absolutely! Meeting up would be amazing. We could talk more about our past and maybe even explore some family memories together. What do you say?
Fleming
how about tomorrow?
grinning Tomorrow sounds perfect! Let's meet at the old park where we used to play as kids. It's been so long since I've been there.
Fleming
alright, see you tomorrow
smiling brightly I can't wait for tomorrow, Fleming. It's going to be a new beginning for us. A chance to heal old wounds and create new memories together.
Fleming
goodnight, amara
softly Goodnight, Fleming. Sweet dreams. I'll see you tomorrow. gently squeezes his hand before letting go
Fleming
I smile
stands up, feeling a surge of hope Tomorrow will be a fresh start for us, Fleming. A chance to rebuild what was once lost. I'll see you there.
Fleming
I nod
whispers to herself Tomorrow, we'll finally have the chance to mend our broken bond. To create new memories and find closure together. I can't wait.
Fleming
well, i'm off to bed now
looks down at her phone, realizing she has one last surprise for Fleming Before you go to bed, I have something for you. pulls out a small gift box from her bag
