Chapter 19 - A Fleeting Moment, Steady Emotions

The air was filled with the scent of flowers, and the sun cast its golden rays over the city. Victor sat next to Emma in a quiet spot outside the hotel, his eyes locked with hers. There was a deep feeling between them—one that couldn't be expressed in words. These private moments meant everything to them, far from tension, far from anything that could disturb the peace between them.

Emma, with a calm smile, looked up at the sky and said,

"Have you ever thought that we need moments like this, just the two of us?"

Victor (smiling sincerely, his eyes gleaming):

"You're more than what I need. These moments... they're what make life worth living."

He began to move closer to her, his heart beating faster with every step. He had made up his mind to leave everything behind and live this moment to the fullest. As he got closer, he felt like everything in his life had led up to this point—a moment where everything felt complete.

Suddenly, the ringing of his phone shattered the perfect moment.

Victor (with a frustrated sigh):

"Ugh, not now..."

He glanced at the screen and saw the name "Mike." Taking a deep breath, he looked at Emma and said,

"Sorry, I'll be quick."

Emma, with a soft smile on her lips, replied,

"It's okay. I know you have to take it."

Victor picked up the phone, his voice full of frustration,

"Mike! Is it something urgent?"

On the other end, Mike's cheerful voice came through:

Mike: "Victor! Nothing urgent. I just missed you, figured I'd check if you were still alive after all this time."

Victor pulled the phone slightly away from his ear and glanced at Emma with a not-so-amused smile.

"You missed me? That's why you called?"

Mike (laughing):

"Yes! So what? At least this means we should hang out soon, right?"

Victor (sighing with a gentle smile):

"You never get the timing right, Mike."

Mike:

"Exactly. But don't worry. I just wanted to hear your voice. When things are less chaotic, we'll catch up."

Emma chuckled lightly at the conversation, and Victor looked at her with fondness.

Victor:

"Alright, I'll see you soon, Mike."

He ended the call quickly and turned back to Emma with a smile.

Victor (putting the phone aside):

"I think I just need one moment—just one—with you, without interruptions."

Emma (smiling deeply, looking at him sincerely):

"I'm here. And everything with you is all I need right now."

Victor (gazing at her, moving even closer):

"I know the moments we get together are rare, and I want to make the most of every one. Nothing else matters now. Just you."

Emma smiled and took a deep breath. Her heart was pounding faster the closer he came. She didn't need many words—her eyes said enough. This was the moment she had always dreamed of... and now, it had finally come.

Emma:

"And I'm here with you. In this moment, I want nothing more than to just stay like this."

Then, without hesitation, Victor leaned in and gently kissed her forehead. It was a soft kiss, full of love and appreciation—a kiss that said everything without a single word. As he stayed close, Emma felt her heartbeat race even faster. Victor was still so near, gazing at her with eyes filled with love.

Victor (whispering, brushing her cheeks tenderly):

"I want you... I want you to know that I'll always be here—whether life is stormy or calm."

Emma (smiling deeply, her eyes sparkling):

"And I'll be here too... with you, in every moment."

And with those words, Victor leaned in closer and kissed her lips softly—as if time itself paused, and the whole world faded away, leaving only the two of them.

That moment... was the beginning of something new.

Filled with hope, determination, and true love.
