As Eloise and Theo continued to meet, their bond grew stronger with each passing day. They found solace in each other's company, engaging in conversations that spanned the depths of their shared passions. From politics to literature and their hopes and dreams for the future, their discussions were a testament to their intellectual connection.

One evening, as they sat in the cosy corner of Theo's printing shop, their voices filled the air with enthusiasm and curiosity. Theo leaned forward, a spark of excitement in his eyes. "You know, Eloise, I've always had a passion for the law," he confessed. "I'm actually studying to be a barrister. The printing shop is merely a means to an end, a way to support me while I wait for my call to the bar."

Eloise's admiration for Theo deepened as she listened to his revelation. She reached out and gently touched his hand, a gesture of support and encouragement. "Theo, that's incredible! Your dedication and ambition are truly inspiring. Despite the challenges, you remain steadfast in pursuing your dreams. I have no doubt that you will succeed."

Theo's eyes met Eloise's, gratitude and a touch of vulnerability shining through. "Thank you, Eloise. Your belief in me means more than you know," he replied, a hint of emotion tugging at his voice. "It's rare to find someone who not only understands the fire within, but also ignites it further."

Over the weeks and months that followed, Eloise and Theo's connection grew deeper. They found comfort in each other's presence, forming a bond that went beyond friendship. They laughed together, shared their fears and triumphs, and offered unwavering support in their individual pursuits.

Eloise marvelled at Theo's intelligence, his passion for justice, and his unwavering dedication to making a difference. She found herself falling for him, not only for his ideals and dreams but for the person he was—kind, compassionate, and fiercely determined.

In turn, Theo admired Eloise's unwavering spirit and her unwavering commitment to fighting for the rights of women. He saw in her a partner, someone who shared his vision of a world where equality and freedom were not mere aspirations but lived realities.


PS: this might feel rushed, but I had this written down for over a year, I just had to proofread the chapters once, I am running in publication cause its official university vacation and I want to publish as much as I can during off days cause once uni starts its difficult, I am a computer major and I have too much on my plate during semesters.
