Please Don't Leave Me.

“I might have blown up too many balloons for the party…” ( from mark ! )

happy birthday!  🥳 … sentence starters

He definitely blew up too many; Eve debated offering to change some of the balloons into other decor but she did not want to overstep him. Trying not to overstep has been a challenge she discovered quite early on when it came with how versatile her powers truly can be. It was difficult for her to read more mundane situations and decide if those ever called for her power's assistance. "We can...spread them around the house a bit?" That could work, or they could stuff half of these in a random closet.

"What time did you say your mom would be home?" She asked as she began to grab a few and awkwardly carrying them from one side of the room to another. Eve was sure she could get this all done in a matter of seconds...but where was the charm in that? Sometimes it felt stale and manufactured to do everything with her powers, especially for something as personal as this. Eve did a glance around to see if they did forget anything, that is when her powers were convenient; last minute 'shopping'. "You're confident your mom has no clue about this?"

AS SAID BY LELIANA - ROMANCE *  lines taken from the leliana romance in dragon age: origins

what i'm trying to say is... is that i trust you. i'm comfortable around you. i know you'll be there when i need you.

well... aren't you sweet and attentive?

oh, the games you play.

did you know your eyelids flutter when you dream? and you have such pretty eyelashes.

listen, i want to spend the night with you. there, i said it.

where's the fun in that?

now come with me before i lose my patience.

i do not regret any of the pain, the anger, the loneliness... because it brought me to you.

i... love you. it's so wonderful to say that to someone again.

there isn't much more i can say. my feelings have been laid bare. you are... very special to me.

i'm here for you.

i might need some company... and you're not too irritating. you're welcome to come along if you like.

it is settled then. you and i... wandering the world, seeking our fortunes. i can't wait.

maybe you should let your softer side show more often.

i enjoy those nights when we stand guard together, talking to pass the time in those small hours.

sometimes following your heart, not your head, leads you to remarkable places.

i enjoy the nights at camp. the night always seems more peaceful to me. safer.

sometimes i succumb and fall asleep, and wake to find you still watchful and i know you're watching out for me.

you are our leader, and my friend, and... sometimes i think that maybe we could be more than that.

i knew this would come up sooner or later.

even in the midst of this darkness, there is hope and beauty. have faith.

no more lies between us, at least in this.

it feels good to have this off my chest. thank you for listening, and understanding.

flowers? for me? oh... they're beautiful.

thank you so much for remembering.

this story is one of my favorites, a tale of love so great and so enduring that it defies death and moves the gods to action.

sometimes i ask myself, does such a love exist? can it exist?

i never expected you to say that. it is... a pleasant surprise.

i have to say there is a certain severity to you. finding a person behind that all is nice.

i'm not embarrassed! i'm just... flushed because of the heat...

you often show signs of intelligence and you're fairly good looking... most of your facial features are in the right place.

you're already helping so much by listening to me.

people are starting to look at me strangely. we will speak of this again, i promise.

you don't know how it makes me feel to hear you say that.

now it's getting late. i think i might... turn in early.

i can't help thinking about how soft and warm my bedroll is.

you know i enjoy your company.

it would be nice if you came with me.

stop pretending you don't know what i want.

i've been up for some time, but yes, i slept very well.

i've just been watching you sleep.

knowing you will be the first thing i see when i wake gives me no small amount of comfort.

i feel safe in your arms. safe, loved, and accepted. this is where i belong.

you are my dearest friend and my love. you lit my path through darkness and i will stand with you, to whatever end.

i imagine that whatever you get up to, it'll be anything but boring.

Do you realize that this is our very last day of being single women together?

What could possibly go wrong?

Who said you'd be on the team?

I'm not really good at being on teams.

What's the catch?

Not gonna give up until I get what's mine.

Nothing more we can do.

How did you get here?

The rope's too short!

Can you make it?
