Tisha pov

It was one of those rare days off, a precious gem amidst the chaos of our hectic schedules. Michael and I decided to spend it at my place, just relaxing and unwinding. The sun streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow over the living room. Michael was sprawled out on the couch, his head resting on a cushion, while I sat cross-legged on the floor, flipping through a magazine.

"Hey, Tish, what's this?" Michael's voice broke the comfortable silence. I looked up to see him holding my dream journal, a small notebook I kept on my nightstand.

"Oh, that," I said, smiling. "It's just my dream journal. I write down my dreams and goals in there."

Michael flipped through the pages, his eyes scanning the entries. "A trip to Japan, huh? And a blender?" He chuckled, glancing at me.

I laughed. "Yeah, I've always wanted to visit Japan. And the blender...well, I guess I just want to make smoothies."

Michael shook his head, still smiling. "You never cease to amaze me,Tish."

We sat in comfortable silence for a while, just enjoying each other's company. After a while, Michael's expression grew more serious. He set the journal aside and looked at me thoughtfully.

"Tisha, can I ask you something?" he said softly.

"Of course, Michael. What's on your mind?"

"I've only seen your father a couple of times, and I haven't seen him since. What's the story there?"

A pang of sadness hit me, but I took a deep breath and began to share. "My parents divorced when I was twelve. I haven't talked to my father since then. He was an amazing chess player and worked with disadvantaged kids."

Michael reached out, taking my hands in his. "What happened?"

I looked down, my eyes stinging with unshed tears. "He started doing drugs. It was like he became a different person. I had to distance myself from him because he wasn't the father I knew anymore. It was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made."

Michael squeezed my hand gently, his eyes filled with understanding and compassion. "I'm so sorry, Tish. That must have been incredibly tough."

I nodded, grateful for his support. "It was, but I had to protect myself. I still hope that one day he'll get clean and we can rebuild our relationship."

Michael leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to my forehead. "You're so strong, Tish. And no matter what happens, I'm here for you."

I smiled, feeling a warmth spread through my chest. "Thank you, Michael. That means the world to me."

We spent the rest of the day talking about our dreams and our pasts, growing closer with every word. It was a rare and precious day off, one that I would cherish forever.

As the sun set, Michael and I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood. The evening air was cool and refreshing, and the sky was painted with hues of oranges and pink. We strolled hand in hand, enjoying the tranquility and the simple pleasure of being together.

We found a quiet spot in a nearby park and sat down on a bench. Michael turned to me with a serious expression. "Tish, there's something I've been wanting to tell you," he said, his voice steady but filled with emotion.

My heart skipped a beat. "What is it, Michael?"

He took a deep breath and looked into my eyes. "I love you, Tish. I know we've been through a lot, but I want you to know that I'm here for you, no matter what. You mean the world to me."

Tears welled up in my eyes as I smiled at him. "I love you too, Michael. More than words can say."

We shared a tender kiss, sealing the moment with a promise of love and support. It was a perfect ending to a perfect day, and I knew that whatever the future held, we would face it together, hand in hand.
