A soft, muted light painted the room in warm hues. “This could be our bedroom,” Violet whispered, a hint of awe in her voice.
“Imagine waking up every morning to that view,” I murmured, following her gaze to the horizon.
It was a world away from the cold, harsh realities of Ikmal, where every dawn was a reminder of captivity and hopelessness.
The next room was slightly smaller but equally charming. “This one can be the kids’ room,” Violet said with a soft chuckle, her fingers brushing against the empty crib left behind by the previous occupants.
“And this one,” I said, pulling her into the third bedroom, “can be our library. A room filled with stories from across the galaxies.”
She giggled, a melodic sound that made my heart soar. “I think you’re getting ahead of yourself, Mr. Dreamer.”
We wandered into the last room, which was more of a study. “An office for you?” I teased. “To pen down our adventures and chronicle our new life here?”
Her laughter echoed in the room, filling the empty spaces. “Maybe. Or it could be a playroom for our kids. A space where they can let their imaginations run wild.”
As we stood there, soaking in the possibilities, the weight of the journey that brought us to this moment pressed upon me.
Violet’s eyes glistened with tears, and I pulled her close, feeling her heartbeat against mine.
“I can’t believe this is real,” she whispered, her voice quivering. “After everything we’ve been through…”
I kissed her forehead, brushing away a stray tear. “I was ready to resign myself to a life in Ikmal.
I thought that was all there was for me, but then you came into my life and changed everything.”
She looked up, her blue eyes searching mine. “Kuana, I should be thanking you. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be standing here, dreaming of a future.”
We stood in silence for a moment, lost in each other’s embrace.
The memories of our past, the trials we had faced, and the love that had blossomed between us filled the room.
Every wall, every corner seemed to soak in our shared history, laying the foundation for the life we were about to build.
But there was something I had been holding back, a part of my past that she deserved to know.
Drawing a deep breath, I gently pulled away, holding her hands in mine. “Violet, there’s something I’ve been wanting to share with you. Something I should’ve shared long ago.”
She looked up, concern etching her features. “What is it?”
“It’s about what happened at the research facility,” I began, my voice shaky. “The experiments, the reasons behind my imprisonment, everything. You deserve to know the whole truth.”
Her eyes widened, but she gave my hand a reassuring squeeze. “Okay, tell me. I’m here, and I’m listening.”
I took a deep breath, ready to share the most painful chapter of my life.
The promise of a new beginning gave me the strength to confront my past.

The atmosphere in the main bedroom was thick with anticipation, its spacious confines making it perfect for what I needed to share.
As we sat on the edge of the large bed, I could see the concern etched deeply in Violet’s eyes.
Taking a deep breath, I began my tale. “As you know, I went on a mission that was supposed to be covert.”
She listened intently, her blue eyes never leaving mine. “They were developing a new plasma technology. Something that, if fallen into the wrong hands, would mean disaster for our galaxy.”
I could feel the weight of my words settling on her, making her even more anxious, but I needed to continue. “With that technology, defensive shields would become redundant. Our biggest frigates could be torn apart with ease, making every corner of the galaxy vulnerable.”
