MR RILEY:-... everyone is already at the temple.

TINTINA:- wait are you serious?

MR RILEY:- yes! come on let's go.

TINTINA:- Ah!!! Isah let's hurry up. (she quickly walked towards the door)

ISAH:- Tintina wait. you are forgetting your cap. (she quickly walked towards the door and handed a white and gold kufi over to Tintina)

TINTINA:- Oya[W1] let's go. (the three of them exit the room)...

September 4th 2025. 7.am
Tintina's apartment .

Dianna is on Tintina's bed wearing a Superman pyjamas as Tintina walked into the bedroom holding a serving tray and wearing her bathrobe.

TINTINA:- good morning my love

DIANNA:- awww... this is like the 4th time you are making me breakfast in bed this week.

TINTINA:- you better not complain( then she gave her a side smile and kissed her on the lips)

DIANNA:- ( pulling away from the kiss and laughed) my Gosh Tina, I haven't even brushed my mouth yet.

TINTINA:- so? have you forgotten I still kissed that same mouth even after it tasted between my legs more times than I can count?. ( she dropped the breakfast in bed tray on the bed and then pulled her closer and gave her a deep kiss)

DIANNA:- ( she stopped the kiss and placed her hand on Tintina's face) I can't imagine my life without you right now.

TINTINA:- ( she kissed Dianna's hand on her face) me too. I'm so in love with you right now. ( Dianna pull her closer as the kiss continued)

DIANNA:- ( then she stopped the kiss and smiled)
I want your opinion about something I've been thinking about.

TINTINA:- okay what is it?

DIANNA:- I'm thinking of selling my land in New Jersey and Italy to buy a beautiful church in Italy so that people like us LGBTQ can have a nice place to get married in.

TINTINA:- ok but why Italy?

DIANNA:- because Italy is nice and beautiful and peaceful and it has well decorated Church buildings.

TINTINA:- "church"? you are religious?

DIANNA:- ( She laughed) No I'm not. I'm more of an optimistic nihilist.

TINTINA:- oh...what's that?

DIANNA:- It's Complicated to explain and to be honest it took me a while to wrap my head around Nihilism itself and still be sane optimistic but the first step is to digest the non-existence of God... or religions ideas of God.

TINTINA:- hmmm... Interesting. I want to know more.

DIANNA:- ( she smiled and locked eye contacts with Tintina) really?

TINTINA:- ( gazing at each other) yes... And
I don't think it's okay to call it a church because most lgbtq people don't really like the whole church idea. It should have a nice name that welcomes everyone. you know, like a Temple.

DIANNA:- yeah I like that idea. you see, I know I can count on you with stuff like this.

TINTINA:- I'm always here if you need me.( then she kissed her on her forehead)
