The rain in espana

Episode 11: The Road Ahead

Opening Scene: The City's Pulse

The episode begins with Luna standing in her sleek office, high above the city, staring out at the sprawling skyline. The hum of the city below mirrors the whirlwind of thoughts racing through her mind. She's made it this far in her career as a lead architect, but now, everything is different. She can no longer ignore the news she's been holding onto—the pregnancy, the proposal, and the life she's about to step into.

Her phone buzzes, breaking her from her trance. It's Kalix's message: "Let's talk tonight. We need a plan for the next steps."

Luna responds quickly: "I'll be there. Let's take this one step at a time."

Scene 1: A Quiet Café, Where It All Comes Together

Later that night, Luna and Kalix meet at their favorite café. The soft clinking of cups, the murmur of voices in the background, all fade as Luna and Kalix settle into their booth. Kalix, dressed in a sharp, tailored suit that speaks to his role as an attorney, slides into the seat opposite Luna. There's a quiet intensity between them. Luna, still in her work clothes, tries to calm the nerves fluttering in her chest.

Kalix leans in first, his voice low but filled with concern. "Luna, I know this is a lot. The baby, the proposal... I didn't expect everything to happen so fast either. But we've always figured things out, haven't we?"

Luna shifts in her seat, avoiding his gaze for a moment. "It's not that, Kalix. I'm just... scared. I've worked so hard to get here, and now, everything's changing. I'm afraid I'll lose control of everything—my career, my life, us."

Kalix's eyes soften, and he gently reaches across the table, touching her hand. "I understand. But you're not alone in this. We'll figure it out. We always have, right? We're a team. And that's not changing."

Luna lets out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. She looks into Kalix's eyes, seeking the reassurance she needs. "But what about the office, Kalix? I'm leading a major project. What happens if I can't handle both? What if I'm not enough?"

Kalix gives a soft smile, his tone full of conviction. "You're more than enough, Luna. You're a brilliant architect, and I believe in you. And you'll have me by your side, every step of the way. Together, we can make anything work."

Luna looks down, swallowing hard, the uncertainty still there but softened by his words. "I want to believe that. I really do. But... I need to know that I'm not alone in this. I need to know you'll be there."

Kalix nods without hesitation. "I'm here. Always."

There's a pause, and then Kalix surprises her by leaning forward, a gleam of determination in his eyes. "Luna, I asked you to marry me before, but now, I want to do it properly. No rush, no pressure, just... will you marry me, Luna? Will you take this leap with me? Not just for the baby, but for us?"

Luna blinks, caught off guard by the sincerity in his voice. She feels her heart race, the weight of the moment sinking in. A soft smile spreads across her face as she finally nods, her voice barely a whisper. "Yes, Kalix. Yes, I'll marry you."

The two share a long, meaningful kiss, sealed with the promise of a future neither of them can fully predict but are willing to face together.

Scene 2: Family Conversations, The Reveal

The following day, Kalix and Luna prepare to tell their families. They know it won't be easy, especially with both their careers in full swing. Kalix, an attorney at Luna's firm, has the security of a steady job, but Luna's architectural firm requires her to remain at the forefront of projects. The news of the pregnancy, while exciting, is also a daunting prospect for both families.
