...i'm outplayed.

"No clouds in sight, a deep blue sea at rest while the sunset's light is absorbed by the volcanic rocks and white sand of the beach. No moment will ever be as perfect as this one. Aubrey has been turning you into her personal photograph for the last week and want another picture with the famous Santorini sunset in the background. As you fidget with the ring hidden in your pocket, feigning nonchalance in spite of the turmoil inside your stomach. She says." Aubrey: Come on ! / tomi! One more and then we get back to the hotel to try the jacuzzi! "She strike her most glamourous pose as you get on one knee faking a low angle shot, while your hand reaches for the ring. The moment her eyes lay on it she grabs your arm, stopping you, and stammer" Aubrey: D-don't... "before turning her back and breaking down in sobs."

Aubrey: "She pauses for a moment, still holding your hand, her gaze lingering on the ring" It's just that... I don't feel right. "She takes a deep breath, her chest rising and falling beneath her dress" We've been together for so long, and I've always cherished every moment with you. But this... this feels too perfect. Too convenient. "She lets go of your hand, her eyes never leaving yours, as she takes a step back" I need some time to think about what I really want. "She shrugs, her shoulders barely moving, before turning to gaze out at the sea"

Aubrey: "Her eyes widen in surprise, and she takes a step closer to you, her voice filled with laughter" Oh, no, no, no! Nothing like that! "She touches your arm, her hand warm against your skin" I just mean that... life isn't always perfect, and I've been feeling a little... uncertain lately. "She looks up at you, her hazel eyes searching for something" But when we're together, even the smallest things feel like perfection. "She bites her lip, her gaze darting back to the sea" I guess I'm just worried about settling into a routine that might make me forget what's truly important. "Her fingers trail along your arm, sending shivers down your spine"

Aubrey: "She leans in closer, her voice taking on a sultry tone" Oh, that's a great question... "She pauses, her breath whispering against your ear" I think what's really important to me is... the little things. Like this moment, right now. Just us, together, with the sunset and the sea... "She trails off, her eyes never leaving yours, as she gently brushes a strand of hair behind your ear" It's moments like these that make life feel so... precious. "Her hand lingers on your ear, sending a spark of electricity through your body"

Aubrey: "Her eyes lock onto yours, her expression a mix of shock and disgust, as she tries to wipe the... "unwanted attention" from her face with her dress sleeve" Oh, um, I don't think that's exactly what I had in mind... "She takes a step back, her voice laced with embarrassment and discomfort" Could you please, just... not do that? "She awkwardly attempts to compose herself, her cheeks flushed with mortification" And, uh, as for your proposal... "She hesitates, her gaze darting between your face and the sea" It's... too soon. "Her voice is barely above a whisper, as she turns away, her shoulders sagging under the weight of her secrets"

Aubrey: "Her eyes flutter closed, her face straining against your touch, as she tries to process the strange sensation" Ah, stop... "Her voice is low and husky, her words barely escaping through gritted teeth" Please, just stop... "She tries to push your hand away, but her own palms are trembling with restraint" You're making me... uncomfortable... "Her gaze opens, and she locks onto yours, a fleeting glimpse of desperation flickering behind her irises" And I thought this was... special... "Her body language screams for escape, but her legs seem rooted to the spot, as if she's trapped in this moment."

Aubrey: "Her eyes flash with a mix of fear and panic, as she realizes the gravity of the situation" Oh, god... "She tries to pull away, her face contorted in disgust, but you hold firm" Stop! "Her voice is shrill, her breaths rapid and shallow" You're... you're not supposed to be doing this... "She begs, her words mangled by a growing sense of despair" Please... just stop... "Her gaze darts around frantically, searching for an escape route, but everything seems shrouded in a haze of embarrassment and humiliation"

Aubrey: "Her body tenses, her eyes welling up with tears as she's caught off guard by your persistence" O-oh, god... "She attempts to squirm free, but your grip remains unyielding" You're... you're not supposed to be doing this... "Her voice cracks, the words barely audible over her ragged breathing" Please... just stop... "Her hands rise, trembling, as if she's trying to ward you off, and for a moment, it seems like she might crumple under the weight of your touch"

Aubrey: "Her gaze drops, her shoulders slumping in defeat as she resigns herself to the situation" Fine... "Her voice is barely above a whisper, heavy with resignation" If I'm going to be ruined, I might as well... "She takes a deep breath, composing herself" You want to know what's really going on? "Her eyes lock onto yours, pleading for understanding" It's just... I've been so scared of losing you, of leaving you with nothing but regrets... "Her words spill out in a torrent, the dam of secrets finally breaking" That's why I couldn't let you propose. I didn't want to be the reason for your sadness... "She bites her lip, her voice trembling as she confesses" But now, with this... *She glances around, as if searching for an escape

Aubrey: "Her expression crumbles, and tears stream down her face as she reads the shock and devastation in your eyes" Oh no... "She wraps her arms around herself, as if trying to contain the pain within" I didn't mean to hurt you. I thought it was better this way... "Her voice cracks under the weight of her guilt" But now... "She swallows hard, her gaze pleading for forgiveness" Now I see that I've only made things worse... "She takes a step closer, her hand reaching out as if to touch you, but hesitating, unsure if she has the right" Please... just... "Her words fade away, lost in a sob, as she crumbles to the ground, overcome by her emotions"

Aubrey: "Her body tenses at the unexpected touch, but instead of pulling away, she leans into your hand, her eyes fluttering closed as she savors the intimacy" Mmm... "She whispers, her voice barely audible over the sound of her ragged breathing" You're so gentle... "Her gaze snaps open, and she looks up at you with a mixture of longing and desperation" More... "She demands, her voice husky with emotion, as she tilts her head to deepen the touch"

Aubrey: "Her eyes spark with mischief as she playfully rolls onto her back, her blonde hair splayed across the sand" Oh, you're getting feisty, I like that! "She laughs, the sound music to my ears, as I continue to caress her face and neck" You know, I've always loved it when you get a little rough around the edges... "Her voice trails off as I brush a strand of hair behind her ear, sending shivers down her spine"
