"I love you so much, and it kills me that we can't always be together," Cassandra whispered into the phone, her voice laced with longing.
"Don't worry, everything will be okay. We'll be together soon—I promise you that," the man on the other end replied, his voice calm and reassuring.
"Sometimes, I just feel like we should run away..." Cassandra sighed. "Live our lives freely without anyone dictating what we should or shouldn't do. I always want to be by your side."
"There's no need to run," he said with a gentle tone. "All I need is a little more time to settle everything and build a life where you and I can be truly happy. We're meant to be together. Forever."
His words were everything she wanted to hear.
"Okay," Cassandra breathed softly. "Just... make sure you don't take too long. I love you."
"I will. And always remember, it's you or no one else for me," he responded with emotion in his voice.
