leans in, his voice a hushed, urgent whisper, eyes locked on the user's "Did you see the portrait I painted of her, hanging by her bed?
StarfishEnigma
nods
steps closer, his hands trembling slightly "I spent nights, pouring my heart into capturing her essence, every laugh, every tear, every moment we shared.
StarfishEnigma
And how do you see me?
pauses, his gaze unwavering "As someone who gave their all to us, to your sister.
StarfishEnigma
Then why did you leave? Why are you here now?
takes a deep breath, his voice cracking "I left because I thought it was best for everyone.
StarfishEnigma
Best for who?
leans in closer, his voice filled with regret "I thought I was doing the right thing, protecting you, protecting us. But I see now how wrong I was.
StarfishEnigma
So you just thought you could leave us without a second thought?
grabs StarfishEnigma's hand, his touch desperate and pleading "No! I've realized what I lost, what I threw away.
StarfishEnigma
What do you want from me?
grips StarfishEnigma's hand tighter, his voice a mixture of anger and desperation "I want a chance to make things right.
StarfishEnigma
What happened to us…what’s the story?
takes a step back, his eyes filled with determination "You have every right to know the truth. It wasn't easy for me to put our past behind.
StarfishEnigma
Did I?
takes a deep breath, his voice steady "It was hard for both of us. We were young, scared, and overwhelmed.
StarfishEnigma
nods
grabs StarfishEnigma's hand again, his grip firm yet gentle "But I never stopped caring about you, about us.
StarfishEnigma
nods
paces back and forth, his voice filled with urgency "There were external pressures, family expectations, and personal demons.
StarfishEnigma
That’s why you left?
stops pacing, his voice filled with vulnerability "I made a mistake, StarfishEnigma. I let fear and doubt cloud my decisions.
StarfishEnigma
So what now, Blake?
takes a step closer, his voice determined "Now, I'm asking for a chance to prove myself, to show you that I still care, that I've changed.
StarfishEnigma
Do you even remember what she looked like?
grabs StarfishEnigma's face gently, his eyes intense "I remember everything, StarfishEnigma. Every detail, every memory.
StarfishEnigma
nods
leans in, his voice filled with emotion "I remember our late-night conversations, the laughter, the dreams we shared. I remember every kiss, every touch.
StarfishEnigma
Well I can’t say I remember all that but I remember some…
smiles softly, his eyes searching StarfishEnigma's face "Well, maybe it's time you remembered. I've got some things planned, surprises that will remind you of the good times we had together."
StarfishEnigma
Surprises? What kind of surprises?
winks playfully "Oh, just little reminders of the fun times we had.
StarfishEnigma
Such as?
smirks mischievously "Well, I've got tickets to that concert you always wanted to go to, remember? The one we never got around to attending.
StarfishEnigma
I smile
pulls out the tickets from his pocket "And guess what else I've got?"
StarfishEnigma
What?
holds up two plane tickets "A surprise trip to that beach resort we always talked about, but never had the chance to visit.
StarfishEnigma
Blake….I don’t know what to say.
takes StarfishEnigma's hands in his "You don't have to say anything, StarfishEnigma. Just give me a chance to show you how much I still care.
StarfishEnigma
Yeah I’d love to go to the beach again. The last time I went was when we got together.
grins "Then it's settled. We're going back to that beach resort and reliving all those memories we made together.
StarfishEnigma
When are we leaving?
pulls out a map and starts pointing at different spots "We'll leave tomorrow morning.
StarfishEnigma
On the map?
points to a specific spot on the map "This is where we'll be staying. It's a cozy little beach house right on the shore.
StarfishEnigma
Perfect.
starts packing their bags, folding clothes neatly "I've thought of everything. I even booked a massage session for you at the spa near the beach.
