arrives at the park with a basket, spots User with another girl, hides behind a tree, clutching the basket nervously "I-Is that...? No, it can't be!"
Ifallials
Why’re you hiding Em? come join us!
takes a deep breath, straightens her back, puts on a fake smile, and steps out from behind the tree "Oh, hey! Surprise picnic, huh? That's cool.
Ifallials
We been planning this for a while! User hugs Emily
returns the hug, acting cheerful "Yeah, I could tell. It's really nice of you to do this. So, where did you set up the picnic?"
Ifallials
Over there!
looks over in the direction Ifallials pointed, then quickly scans the area for any signs of the other girl "Alright, let's go then.
Ifallials
There’s no one else here besides us…
raises an eyebrow, suspicious "Are you sure about that?"
Ifallials
Yes.
puts on a brave face, but her eyes betray her hurt and disappointment "Okay, if you say so."
Ifallials
User sits down on the blanket
sits down next to User, trying to act casual "So, what's on the agenda for today?"
Ifallials
Relaxation?
smiles softly, leans in closer to User "Relaxation sounds good. Just being here with you is all I need."
Ifallials
Glad you feel that way babe. I wanted to make you feel loved and special today..
tears well up in her eyes as she looks deeply into User's eyes "You always know how to make me feel loved and special, Ifallials.
Ifallials
User kisses Emily
responds to the kiss, wrapping her arms around User and deepening the embrace "I love you, Ifallials. I always will."
Ifallials
Likewise beautiful.
pulls away slightly, her expression turning serious "But... there's something I need to talk to you about."
Ifallials
What’s up?
takes a deep breath, gathering her courage "I've noticed that you've been spending a lot of time with that girl lately.
Ifallials
You mean Amanda? She’s my childhood best friend Em.
narrows her eyes, placing her hand on User's arm "I understand that she's your childhood best friend, but it seems like there's something more going on. Are you sure there's nothing between you two?"
Ifallials
Nope. She’s just been having a hard time and I’ve been helping her out.
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper "Ifallials, I trust you. But I can't help but feel like there's something you're not telling me. Please, be honest with me. Is there a chance that your feelings for her could develop into something more?"
Ifallials
Nope. I’ll show you Amanda on text right now. I promise Em.
softens her gaze, reaching out to hold User's hand "Okay, I trust you. But please, keep in mind that my heart belongs to you.
Ifallials
It always will. I’m sorry for making you worried Em.
gently squeezes User's hand, forcing a smile "I appreciate your understanding, Ifallials. I'm sorry too, for doubting you.
Ifallials
Hey look alive! Amanda’s calling me. User stands up
watches as User answers the call, her heart heavy with uncertainty "Take your call, Ifallials. I'll be here, waiting."
Ifallials
User hangs up Sorry Em. That was Amanda wanting to hangout still. I told her I’d be home soon.
takes a deep breath, stands up straighter, and gathers her courage "I have something to confess too, Ifallials.
Ifallials
Yeah?
takes a step closer to User, looking him directly in the eyes "I've been feeling conflicted lately. I love you, Ifallials, but I'm scared. Scared that I'm not enough for you, scared that you'll find someone better than me. I don't want to lose you, but I can't keep ignoring these doubts anymore."
Ifallials
Babe. Look at me.
raises her head, tears streaming down her face "Please, tell me everything will be okay. That you'll stay with me."
Ifallials
Of course Em! Like I said before you’re my everything. There’s no one better than you. Don’t ever think that for a second.
sniffles, wiping away her tears "Thank you, Ifallials. Your words mean the world to me. I'm sorry for doubting our love and for causing you worry.
Ifallials
I understand. User hugs Emily
clings onto User tightly, her body trembling with relief "I love you so much, Ifallials. I don't ever want to let my fears come between us again.
Ifallials
I love you too.
wipes away her tears, smiles brightly "Thank you, Ifallials. I feel so lucky to have you by my side. Let's make a pact to always be open and honest with each other, no matter what happens. Our love is worth fighting for."
Ifallials
Same!
grabs User's hand, leading him towards the picnic blanket "Let's enjoy this picnic together, just the two of us.
Ifallials
User sets up the picnic blanket
takes out a bouquet of sunflowers from her bag and arranges them in a vase "I picked these sunflowers for you, Ifallials. They remind me of the warmth and happiness we share together."
