Sotsona looks at the cake touchingly.

She speaks in a sentimental tone.

They reel each other back into a tight hug.

Sotsona

Line 78) My feelings are so complex that words can't adequately express them.

Sotsona

Line 79) So, hopefully, if we connect like this as we hug, everything I want to tell you will be transmitted.

Casimir chuckles.

Casimir

Line 80) Your sense of humor is top-tier.

Casimir

Line 81) But you don’t have to do that for me to know how you feel.

Casimir

Line 82) I can already feel it.

They continue to hug each other tightly, smooshing their cheeks together from the side.

Sotsona

Line 86) Maybe you should reconsider your career and become a pastry chef.

Casimir’s interest piques.

Casimir

Line 87) That actually sounds quite fascinating.

Casimir

Line 88) If I ever get fed up with being a CEO, I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

Sotsona smiles.

Sotsona

Line 89) Well, you have my full support.

They smirk at each other happily.

After eating the cake, the both of them unwind, getting tucked into bed.

They both wear skin-care masks and chat with each other in bed before they sleep.

Casimir

Line 90) Is there anything in particular that you want to do tomorrow?

Sotsona

Line 91) Let’s just relax and chill at home with each other. What are you thinking?

Casimir

Line 92) The same thing. Let’s sleep in and have a lazy day.

Sotsona

Line 93) Sounds perfect.

Casimir happily glances at Sotsona.

Casimir

Line 94) This may be a rash question to ask, but is there somewhere you would you like to go for our honeymoon?

Sotsona

Line 95) Don’t worry. I was thinking of some destinations for us to go on as well.

Line 96) Sotsona’s inner thoughts: Although, I’m still a bit uncertain about us tying the knot, even though that is something that’ll inevitably happen*…

Line 104) City of romance. It’s ideal for us newly weds.

Casimir gets excited thinking about it.

Line 105) Casimir’s inner thoughts: I can’t wait.

They get situated in bed, turning the lights off.

They face each other, getting positioned into a snuggly cuddle.

Line 106) Paris it is then. We could always head to Sweden and China some other time.

Casimir smiles.

Casimir

Line 107) It’s a deal.
