The love between Theo and Eloise blossomed, strengthening with each passing day. Their time together was filled with laughter, heartfelt conversations, and shared dreams. They revelled in their connection, cherishing every moment they could steal away from the prying eyes of society.
Yet, Eloise couldn't escape the weight of guilt that lingered in her heart. Keeping their relationship hidden from her family and friends burdened her conscience, particularly when it came to her Brother Benedict. The thought of deceiving him left a bitter taste in her mouth. Still, her love for Theo burned brightly, and she resolved to navigate the challenges that lay ahead.

Mustering her wits, she feigned a headache and remained at home, offering the excuse of needing rest to her unsuspecting family.
As soon as her family departed, Eloise seized the opportunity to rendezvous with Theo downtown. Their day unfolded in blissful exploration, as they ventured into uncharted territories and revelled in each other's presence. Time seemed to stand still, painting the hours with an iridescent glow. It was a day that would forever remain etched in Eloise's memory, a respite from the looming uncertainty that awaited them.
Deep down, Eloise knew that the consequences of their clandestine affair would eventually catch up with them. Fear clawed at her, whispering doubts and uncertainties. But for now, she resolved to live in the present, immersing herself in the sheer joy of being with Theo. Every stolen moment, every shared smile, and every touch were cherished treasures, weaving a tapestry of love that defied the constraints of their society.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden hue across the city, Eloise couldn't help but feel a bittersweet longing in her heart. She clung to Theo's hand, savouring the remaining moments of their stolen bliss. In that fleeting instant, she vowed to hold onto their love, no matter what challenges lay ahead, and to face the future with unwavering courage.
