Torn Between

chapter 8: Pixels of Longing

Axel is in Singapore, and he initiates a video call to connect with Iris. The city's skyline forms a dazzling backdrop through the window.

Axel: (Smiling as the call connects) Hey, Iris! Greetings from the Lion City.

Iris: (Excitedly) Axel! How's Singapore treating you?

Axel: (Panning the camera to showcase the cityscape) It's incredible, Iris. The energy here is electrifying. Check out this view!

Iris: (Amazed) Wow, that's stunning! It's like I can almost step into the screen. How's the anchorage experience?

Axel: (Nodding) Anchoring in Marina Bay is a dream. The yacht is surrounded by the iconic skyline. It feels surreal like we're living in a postcard.

Iris: (Enthusiastically) I can imagine! So, what's been the highlight so far?

Axel: (Thinking) Tough call. The culinary adventures have been amazing. I tried the local hawker centers and indulged in some high-end dining. The chili crab here is a game-changer.

Iris: (Smiling) You always find the best food wherever you go. Any cultural exploration?

Axel: (Excitedly) Of course! Explored Chinatown, Little India, and visited Thian Hock Keng Temple. The diversity here is mind-blowing. And rooftop bars! The skyline views are something else.

Iris: (Admiring) It sounds like a perfect blend of culture and luxury. I wish I could be there with you.

Axel: (Gazing at the city lights) Me too, Iris. But hey, I wanted to share this experience with you. Virtual tour style!

Iris: (Grateful) I appreciate it, Axel. It's like I'm right there with you. I can't wait to hear more when you're back.

Axel: (Smirking) Count on it. Until then, sending you virtual hugs from Singapore.

Iris: (Blowing a kiss) Virtual hugs and kisses back to you, Axel. Stay safe and enjoy every moment.

Axel: (Waving) Will do. Talk to you soon, Iris. Love you.

Iris: (With a smile) Love you too, Axel. Take care.

The call ends, leaving Axel with a sense of connection despite the physical distance.
