Morning light streams through the window, illuminating the cozy room where Delilah and Isaiah are nestled together. Delilah stirs awake, feeling the warmth of Isaiah's embrace.
Isaiah: (gently kissing her on the forehead) "Good morning, sleepyhead."
Delilah smiles, feeling safe and content.
Delilah: "Good morning. I could get used to waking up like this."
They both get out of bed, sharing a lingering glance before heading to the dressing room to get ready for the day.
In the dressing room: Delilah and Syd are chatting, sharing the morning vibes as they apply their makeup.
Syd: "So, how are you feeling about everything after last night?"
Delilah: (sighing) "Honestly? A little nervous. I just want to make sure Isaiah knows I'm in this for real."
As they continue talking, they hear voices coming from outside the room. Nighia and Katherine are having a conversation just outside the door.
Nighia: (voice slightly raised) "I just don't know if Delilah is right for him. I mean, Isaiah could definitely do better."
Katherine: "Yeah, it's like he's settled. He could easily be swayed by someone who actually matches him."
Delilah's heart sinks as she overhears their words. She exchanges a worried glance with Syd.
Syd: (whispering) "Do you want to say something? That's really unfair."
Delilah: (taking a deep breath) "No, let's just ignore it. I know what we have is real. I can't let their opinions get to me."
Syd nods, but her expression shows concern for her friend.
Syd: "Just remember, you're amazing, Delilah. You deserve to be with someone who sees that."
Delilah: (forcing a smile) "Thanks, Syd. I appreciate it. I'll focus on what Isaiah and I have, not what others think."
They finish getting ready, but Delilah can't shake off the comments. As they step out of the dressing room, she's determined to keep her head high and trust in her relationship with Isaiah.

Delilah and Syd step out of the dressing room, and as they move towards the common area, they inadvertently overhear Nighia and Katherine talking again, their voices carrying through the air.
Nighia: (laughing lightly) "Honestly, I just feel like I'm way more suited for Isaiah. I mean, come on, I'm obviously more his type."
Katherine: "Totally! Delilah is sweet, but she just doesn't have that spark. Isaiah could definitely do better."
