"I just don't understand," Emery said, her voice soft. "How can we be so far apart, and be so close at the same time?"
He smiled at her over the voice chat, "Because our love is strong enough to overcome any distance. Because our connection is so deep, it can't be broken by anything. Because love is all that matters, and we have that in spades."
She leaned against the pillow behind her, "You're right," she replied with a smile. "That's all that matters. Love."
They sat together in silence for a while, enjoying each other's presence. The distance between them might be great, but their love is greater, and it fills the space between them with warmth and light.
Finally, Emery speaks again, her voice quiet and reflective. "You know, I've been thinking a lot about what we have. It's not just love, it's something more. It's a connection, a bond that's so strong, it can traverse time and space."
Atlas nodded, his eyes shining with the love he felt for Emery. "I know. It's almost like we were meant to find each other, like our love was written in the stars long before we even met."
"Exactly," she said, her voice full of wonder. "It's like the universe brought us together, because it knew that our love was the strongest, the most real, and the most true."
"And now, nothing can ever tear us apart," he said, his voice now strong and determined. "Not distance, not time, not anything. Our love is a force that can move mountains, and I know that as long as we have each other, we can face anything together."
Emery smiled, feeling the love in Atlas's words and the determination in his heart. "I know," she said, her eyes now meeting him. "I know."
