*Martinus stood amidst the joyous cheers and applause, the trophy in front of him, but his thoughts were elsewhere. Amidst the celebratory chaos, he found a moment of quiet reflection, his thoughts consumed by the profound emotions swirling within him. "She's finally mine", he thought, his heart soaring with elation. "After all this time, Teodora is finally mine. She's the one. I can't believe this is real. Teodora, the love of my life, is finally by my side.", Martinus thought, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "My heart has found its home in her." Lost in his reverie, Martinus was brought back to the present by the sound of Teodora's voice, her laughter echoing in his ears. Turning to her, he felt a surge of love and gratitude, his gaze lingering on her radiant smile.*

*As the celebrations continued, Martinus found himself drawn to Teodora, unable to resist the pull of her presence. They spoke of their victory, of their shared dreams and aspirations, their hearts beating in harmony with each other.*

Martinus: (gently) Teodora, how long will you be staying in Split? Which hotel are you in?

Teodora: (smiling) We're staying at the Radisson Blu Resort & Spa. And as for how long we'll be here, we're leaving the day after tomorrow.

Martinus: (his heart racing) The same hotel? That's incredible.

Teodora: (curiously) Why do you ask?

Martinus: (hesitantly) Well, I was wondering... First of all, I wanted to spend time only with you, and now.. Would you like, maybe, to be in the same room as me, I will throw Marcus to be with FolkBeat Harmony, If they want it as well.

*Teodora's eyes widened in surprise, her heart fluttering with anticipation. She could hardly believe what she was hearing, the prospect of spending more time with Martinus filling her with joy.*

Teodora: (excitedly) Well, I would love that.

Martinus: (smiling) I can't wait to have so close to me

*With their plans set, Martinus felt a sense of contentment wash over him, knowing that Teodora would be by his side for a little while longer. As they made their way back to the hotel, his heart was filled with gratitude for the precious moments they would share together.* 

Martinus: (grinning) Hey, guys, I was thinking... I'd really love it if Teodora could stay in my room tonight. And, uh, maybe Marcus could be with you in room?

Ana: (teasingly) Oh, Martinus, getting ahead of yourself, aren't you? Nothing before marriage, remember?

Max: (chuckling) Yeah, don't want to have to call 911 for a broken heart, Martinus.

Daniel: (joining in the teasing) Looks like someone's eager to have a sleepover with his sweetheart.

Martinus: (rolling his eyes) Come on, guys, be serious for a minute. It's just for tonight, and tommorow night. 

Teodora: Just tease, I can't wait for you to find someone so I can tease you.

*As they arrived at the hotel, the excitement in the air was palpable. Martinus led the way, his heart racing with anticipation as he held the door open for Teodora and their friends.* 

Teodora: (smiling) Well thank you, Marty.

Martinus: (returning her smile) My pleasure.

*With room keys in hand, we led to the elevator. As the doors opened on their floor, Martinus led the way down the hallway, finally stopping in front of their room.*
