Time flies ( a month after Pavel's incident)..

A cozy campsite under the stars. The couple is  sitting by the campfire, enjoying a quiet dinner together. The crackling fire provides a warm backdrop as  they savor the moment.

Pooh: (looking thoughtful, taking a deep breath) "There's something I need to talk to you about."

Pavel: (concerned, setting down your fork) "What is it? Is everything okay?"

Pooh: "Yes, everything is fine. But... I have an important business trip coming up. I need to go to America for few days''

Pavel: (surprised) "America? For a few days? When did this come up?"

Pooh: "It was decided recently. There's a big project that needs my attention, and they want me to oversee it personally."

Pavel: (trying to hide your disappointment) "I see. When do you have to leave?"

Husband: (sighing) "Tomorrow."

Pavel: (softly) "That soon?"

Pooh: "I know it's sudden, and I'm sorry. I didn't want to spring this on you, especially after everything we've been through. But it's an important opportunity for my business''

Pavel: (nodding) ''what business are you talk about ?'' Oh i forgot you have that new series coming up right.

Husband: (reaching across the table to hold Pavel's hand) honey...it's not about the series..i already left all my acting career to be with you..but you should know i've been engaging in some important busniess which makes me lot of money to spoil both of you without a single worry''.

Pavel:(almost tearing up) I-Is it more important than me?

Pooh:(kissing on Pavel's hand)Oh..baby don't do this ...please

Pavel:(sniffing) Just tell me you don't love me anymore

Pooh:( almost cracking up): baby..haha you are so cute when you're cranky

Pavel:(almost standing up) It's not even funny and youhave the audacity to  laugh at me ? how dare you ? 

Pooh:(sighing and looking at his dramatic husband) baby..c'mon

Pooh was staring at Pavel , who was almost walking away from the dinner. He sighed with a soft smile on his face because he knew Pavel was oversensitive. Then he decided to follow his dramatic omega as a lost puppy, cause why not.

Pooh: (placing his head on Pavel's shoulders) "Baby... can we talk?"

Pavel: (looking away) ''w-what''?

Pooh: "I'm sorry.I didn't want to make you sad ,  It was stupid, and I hate seeing you upset."

Pavel: (sighing) "I know. It's just... everything's been so overwhelming lately. The thought of you going abroad feels like too much right now and''

Pooh: "I understand. I didn't consider how it would affect you , especially after everything we've been through."

Pavel: "I just don't want to be apart, not now."

Pooh: (taking your hand) "I know, and I don't want to be apart either. I've been thinking about it, and... I'm not going to go."

Pavel: (surprised) "What? Are you serious?"
