Author's pov:

*The next morning greeted Teodora and Martinus with the soft rays of the rising sun filtering through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. As they stirred from their slumber, Martinus stretched lazily and turned to Teodora, a sleepy smile tugging at the corners of his lips.*

Martinus: (in a sleepy morning voice) Good morning, my love.

Teodora: (rubbing her eyes) Good morning, Tinus. Did you sleep well?

Martinus: (nodding) Like a baby. How about you?

Teodora: (stretching and giggling) Mmm, like a log. I guess all that teasing yesterday wore us out.

Martinus: (chuckling) Yeah, Marcus really knows how to keep things interesting.

Teodora: (smiling) That's one way to put it. But hey, it was all in good fun.

Martinus: (nodding) Definitely... So, any plans for today?

Teodora: (thinking for a moment) Well, I thought we could take a walk by the river later. It's such a beautiful day out.

Martinus: (brightening up) That sounds perfect. I'd love to spend the day with you.

Teodora: (smiling) Me too. But first, coffee and breakfast?

Martinus: (grinning) Always.

*With a shared smile, Teodora and Martinus embraced the new day, ready to make the most of their time together, cherishing each moment as it unfolded.*

*Teodora made her way to the kitchen, the soft padding of her footsteps echoing in the quiet morning air. She began to gather ingredients for breakfast. As she focused on the breakfast, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her from behind, pulling her into a warm embrace.*

Martinus: (whispering in her ear) Can I help you, beautiful.

*Teodora couldn't help but smile at the familiar sound of Martinus's voice, his presence comforting and reassuring. She leaned back into his embrace, savoring the feeling of being enveloped in his warmth.*

Teodora: (gently teasing) Someone's feeling affectionate this morning.

Martinus: (nuzzling her neck) Can you blame me? Waking up to the sight of you is the best part of my day.

Teodora: (playfully swatting his arm) Flatterer.

*Martinus pressed a soft kiss to the nape of her neck, his touch sending shivers down Teodora's spine. With a contented sigh, she leaned into his embrace, reveling in the simple yet profound intimacy of the moment. Together, they stood in the kitchen, wrapped in each other's arms, the world outside fading away as they savored the quiet tranquility of the morning.*

Martinus: Soo, how I can help you my dear?

Teodora: (smiling) Alright, how about you handle the toast while I focus on the eggs?

Martinus: (grinning) Sounds good.

*As Teodora cracked eggs into a bowl and whisked them together, Martinus popped slices of bread into the toaster. The kitchen soon filled with the enticing aroma of brewing coffee and sizzling eggs, creating a cozy ambiance that enveloped them both.*

Teodora: (glancing over at Martinus) You're getting pretty good at this.

Martinus: (grinning) Maybe you've got yourself a new sous chef.

Teodora: (teasing) Oh, so now you're angling for a promotion, huh?

Martinus: (playfully) Hey, a guy's gotta aim high, right?

*Their playful banter filled the kitchen with laughter, infusing the morning with a lighthearted joy that mirrored the warmth of their relationship. As they put the finishing touches on their breakfast, Teodora couldn't help but feel grateful for these simple moments of togetherness, each one a cherished reminder of the love they shared.*

*With breakfast ready, Teodora and Martinus set the table. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, adding to the anticipation of their meal together.*

Teodora: (smiling) Breakfast is served!

Martinus: (gratefully) Thanks for cooking, Teddy. Everything looks delicious.

Teodora: It was a team effort. I couldn't have done it without you.

*They shared a warm smile, their eyes meeting in a silent exchange of affection. Sitting down at the table, they began to enjoy their breakfast, savoring each bite as they engaged in light conversation.*

Teodora: (sipping her coffee) So, what's on your timetable for today?

Martinus: (thoughtfully) Well, I have a few meetings scheduled at the studio this morning, but I should be free by the afternoon. How about you?

Teodora: (nodding) I have to make some presentation in the university. I wanted to do it home but professors don't let me, but I will end it very soon. We will go for sure in the evening for a walk.

Martinus: (brightening) That sounds perfect. It'll be nice to spend some time together.

*As they enjoyed their breakfast and made plans for the day ahead, Teodora couldn't help but feel grateful for these moments of peace and contentment. With Martinus by her side, even the simplest moments became cherished memories, each one a reminder of the love they shared.*

--Skip time--

*As they strolled along the serene path, the gentle breeze rustling through the trees, Teodora and Martinus found solace in each other's company. The tranquil surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for their conversation, allowing them to open up and share their thoughts and dreams.*

Teodora: (gazing at the scenery) It's moments like these that make me appreciate the beauty of life.

Martinus: (nodding in agreement) Definitely. It's important to take a step back and just enjoy the simple things sometimes.

Teodora: (smiling) Like a leisurely walk in the park with the person you love.

Martinus: (taking her hand) Exactly. I cherish these moments with you.

*Their footsteps echoed softly against the path as they continued their leisurely walk, immersed in the tranquility of the moment. With each step, their bond grew stronger, their connection deepening as they shared their hopes and aspirations for the future. In each other's presence, they found comfort and strength, knowing that together, they could overcome any obstacle that life threw their way.*

*As they walked hand in hand, the sun dipped lower on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the landscape. The soft hues of pink and orange painted the sky, creating a breathtaking backdrop for their romantic stroll.*

Martinus: (admiring the sunset) Wow, look at that sky. It's like a painting.

Teodora: (gazing at him) Agree. But not as beautiful as you Tinus.

Martinus: (smiling shyly) You always know how to make me blush.

Teodora: Well, It's easy when I'm telling the truth.

*Martinus's heart swelled with love as he looked into Teodora's eyes, feeling a deep sense of connection and warmth enveloping him.*

Teodora: (softly) I love you, Tinus... More than words can express.

Martinus: (brushing a strand of hair from her face) And I love you, Teddy. With all my heart and soul.

*In that moment, as the sun dipped below the horizon and the world was bathed in the soft light of dusk, Teodora and Martinus shared a tender kiss, sealing their love under the canvas of the painted sky. It was a moment they would cherish forever, a testament to the depth of their love and the beauty of their connection.*
