Couple Goal

Tides of Love

Mory's pov:

When Glenn told me about the research expedition, I could see the excitement in his eyes. This was everything he had worked for, a chance to study the Great Barrier Reef and make a real difference. But the thought of him being away for a whole year was unbearable. We had just moved into our apartment, and I had received a grant to create a series of murals in the city. How could we make this work?

“I know it’s a long time, but we can do this,” he said, holding my hands tightly.

“We’ll stay connected, I promise.”I nodded, trying to hold back my tears.

“I believe in us,” I whispered. “Just promise me you’ll come back safe.”

The initial weeks apart were tough but manageable. They communicated daily, sharing their triumphs and challenges. However, as time went on, the distance took a toll. Glenn faced unexpected hurdles with his research, including equipment failures and harsh weather.

Meanwhile, Mory struggled with creative blocks and the pressure to meet deadlines. Their nightly video calls, once filled with joy and excitement, grew shorter and more strained as exhaustion set in.

Glenn's pov:

Being thousands of miles away from Mory was harder than I ever imagined. The research was demanding, and the constant threat of equipment malfunction due to the harsh environment added to the stress. But it was Mory’s voice at the end of each day that kept me going. She always listened, even when I rambled about the minutiae of marine biology.

One day, after a particularly grueling week, I received a call from her. She sounded weak and distant.

“I’m in the hospital, Glenn. Pneumonia. It’s bad,” she said, her voice breaking.

Guilt washed over me. How could I be here when she needed me most?

“I’m so sorry, Mory. I wish I could be there with you,” I said, my heart aching.“Just promise me you’ll stay safe,” she whispered before the call ended.

Mory’s recovery was slow, and she felt isolated without Glenn’s comforting presence. Her once vibrant art studio felt cold and empty, and she struggled to find inspiration.

During this difficult period, both Mory and Glenn faced temptations that tested their commitment. Glenn’s colleague, a charming and supportive researcher named Eliza, showed interest in him, while Mory’s old flame, Mark, re-entered her life, offering a shoulder to lean on. Despite these distractions, both remained faithful, drawing strength from their love for each other.

They knew that their bond was worth fighting for, even from across the world.

Mory's pov:

Mark’s reappearance in my life was unexpected. He was kind and supportive, just like he used to be. But my heart belonged to Glenn. Even though the distance was tearing us apart, I couldn’t imagine being with anyone else. I poured my heart into my art, trying to capture the emotions I felt—the loneliness, the hope, the love.

▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️

Glenn's pov:

The cyclone hit with a ferocity I’d never experienced before. We were stranded on a remote island, battling the elements and struggling to survive. Communication lines were down, and all I could think about was Mory. I needed to let her know I was okay.Days later, I finally managed to send a message. “Safe but stranded. Thinking of you. Love, Glenn.”

▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️

After days of agonizing uncertainty, Mory received Glenn’s message. The ordeal had strengthened his resolve to return home as soon as possible. Mory, relieved and emotionally exhausted, poured her feelings into her art, creating a powerful mural dedicated to resilience and love. It depicted a lighthouse standing strong against a storm, symbolizing their unwavering commitment to each other.Upon Glenn’s return, Mory and Glenn were reunited, their bond stronger than ever. They shared their stories of struggle and survival, finding solace in each other’s arms. They realized that while their individual dreams were important, their greatest achievement was their unwavering love and support for each other.Together, they decided to combine their passions. They initiated a project to raise awareness about ocean conservation through public art, blending Glenn’s research with Mory’s artistic talent. This collaborative effort not only strengthened their relationship but also made a significant impact on their community, showcasing the power of love and determination.

Mory’s pov:

Our first major project was a large mural in the heart of San Francisco. I painted a stunning underwater scene, rich with coral reefs and marine life, while Glenn provided scientific insights to ensure its accuracy. The mural became a local landmark, sparking conversations about environmental preservation and the beauty of the oceans.

Glenn’s pov:

Working with Mory on this project was a dream come true. We traveled together, creating murals in coastal towns and cities, spreading our message of conservation and love. Our story inspired many, showing that even in the face of great challenges, love and determination could overcome any obstacle.

Years later, as we looked back on our journey, we felt a deep sense of fulfillment. We had faced numerous struggles, but our love had only grown stronger. We continued to support each other’s dreams, always finding new ways to integrate our passions. Our legacy was not just in our art or research but in the enduring bond we had built together.
