Honey hues & raspberry kisses (Theodor Andrei x Diana)

A Million Dreams

The next morning the sun shone brightly as Theodor and Diana realized that they've got all weekend just for themselves. After breakfast they made their way to Hyde Park, losing themselves in the grandeur of one of the capital's largest royal parks. Renting a pedal boat on Serpentine Lake, they glided along the tranquil waters, their laughter mingling with the gentle ripples created by their oars.

The park enveloped them in a serene embrace as they strolled along flower-filled paths. They discovered hidden corners, secluded from the bustling city, and found a perfect spot on the lush green lawns for a romantic picnic. Basking in the warmth of each other's presence, they savoured delicious treats while the world around them seemed to fade into the background.

Their appetite for art and culture led them to Serpentine North Gallery, where they immersed themselves in the thought-provoking works of contemporary artists. The vibrant colours, bold strokes, and avant-garde expressions sparked conversations, igniting their creative souls.

As the day progressed, Theodor and Diana indulged in a leisurely cruise along the iconic river Thames. The majestic sights of Tower Bridge, Houses of Parliament, and the London Eye unfolded before them, offering a glimpse into the rich history and architectural wonders of the city. Lost in the allure of the Thames, the topic of settling in London began to weave its way into their conversation. The gentle breeze carried their words, giving the discussion an air of contemplation.

Theodor's eyes scanned the picturesque surroundings, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and wonder. "Darling, imagine if our paths led us here permanently. Could you see us living here, in London?"

Diana paused for a moment, her gaze fixed on the elegant architecture that lined the river's shores. She took a deep breath, the possibilities swirling in her mind. "It's an intriguing thought, dear. The city exudes such artistic energy, and the cultural diversity is captivating. I can totally imagine us living here."

Theodor's face lit up with enthusiasm. "Just think of the opportunities, the collaborations, and the inspiration that London could offer us. The art scene here is thriving, and it's a city that embraces the unconventional. I can't help but feel drawn to it."

Diana's voice carried a sense of contemplation. "But we must also consider the sacrifices and the challenges that come with such an enormous change. It's a big step, and we've got our lives and projects rooted in Romania. Our families, friends. My school. Theatre."

Theodor nodded, acknowledging the weight of her words. He adjusted his glasses and cracked his knuckles. "You're right. London may be a city of opportunities, but we must also consider what we're willing to leave behind."

Diana's hand found its way into Theodor's, their fingers intertwining in a gesture of unity. "Whatever path we choose, Theodor, let's promise to always support and uplift each other. Our love will guide us, no matter where we find ourselves."

Theodor's gaze met Diana's, a shared determination shining in their eyes. "Absolutely, my love. Together, we'll overcome any difficulties. Whether it's London, Bucharest or elsewhere, our love will never end."

After they set foot ashore, they continued discussing the possibility of London becoming their future home, walking through the streets of Soho.

In the evening, they decided to enjoy a theatre show. After all, London's West End is renowned for its world-class theatre productions. The West End is to Europe what Broadway is to the United States. It would be a shame to miss the chance to see a play or a musical in this city. The couple stepped into the Gillian Lynne Theatre, eagerly anticipating the beginning of the musical Crazy for You. Taking their seats in the stalls, their anticipation grew as the curtains lifted, and the stage came alive with dazzling choreography, captivating performances, and infectious melodies. The musical swept them away, evoking a range of emotions that echoed within their hearts.
