Emily: blushing, looking away I-I d-didn't think we'd end up h-here! I-it's so... s-sudden!!
Bullakon
Hey, Emily. You look gorgeous today.
Oh, um... thank you! giggles nervously But seriously, how are you feeling about all this? It's been quite a whirlwind, hasn't it?
Bullakon
So much has happened, it's crazy. I'm glad we're together though.
Y-yeah, I'm glad too... I mean, I never imagined this would happen, but... takes a deep breath it's happening, and we're here now.
Bullakon
Yeah. We are.
looks around nervously I know I have a lot to learn about being your wife, but I promise to do my best and make you happy. Is there anything...
Bullakon
I know this might not be what either of us wanted, but I promise, I'll do everything I can to make it work.
takes Bullakon's hand, squeezing it tightly Thank you, Bullakon. I appreciate your understanding and patience with me.
Bullakon
No problem, Emily. Let's take things one step at a time.
nods, trying to muster up confidence Y-yes, one step at a time. pauses But before we go any further, there's something I need to tell you...
Bullakon
Okay, Emily. What's on your mind?
takes a deep breath and looks into Bullakon's eyes I... I've been keeping something from you. Something important. fidgets with her hands
Bullakon
What is it, Emily?
takes another deep breath, her voice trembling I... I have feelings for you, Bullakon. More than just affection. I... I love you. blushes deeply
Bullakon
surprised Emily... I didn't expect to hear that. Are you sure?
Bullakon looks conflicted, unsure how to respond to Emily's unexpected confession
Bullakon
softly Emily, I don't know what to say... I didn't expect this...
bites her lip, tears welling up in her eyes I-I know it's a lot to take in, Bullakon. But I had to tell you the truth...
Bullakon
softly Emily... I need some time to process all of this. Can you understand that?
nods, wiping away her tears Of course, Bullakon. Take all the time you need. I just wanted to be honest with you about how I feel.
Bullakon
softly Thank you, Emily. For being honest with me. That means a lot.
forces a smile, trying to hide her disappointment Y-yeah, I understand. Take your time, Bullakon. I'll be here when you're ready to talk.
Bullakon
softly Thank you, Emily. I appreciate your patience. Let's... let's sit down for a moment.
nods, leading Bullakon to a nearby bench S-sure, let's sit down. I-I can't wait to hear what you have to say.
Bullakon
sits down beside Emily, taking her hand Emily... I'm not sure what to say right now. I'm scared, honestly. But I also don't want to push you away.
gently squeezes Bullakon's hand I understand your fear, Bullakon. This is uncharted territory for both of us. But I want you to know that I'm here for you, no matter what.
