A week in South Korea together... it seems like a dream come true. She nods slowly, her eyes never leaving his face. "Okay," she whispers finally. "We can do that." With a small sigh, she leans forward and presses a gentle kiss to his lips before nestling her head into the crook of his neck, feeling safe and loved for perhaps the first time in months.

"Let's make this summer vacation special," she murmurs contentedly against his skin. "Just for us."

The rest of the night passes peacefully; they cuddle together, talking about their plans and dreams for their upcoming trip to South Korea. The air between them feels different now, lighter somehow; like they've both come to an understanding that maybe, just maybe, they can make it work after all these years together.

As dawn begins to break through the windows, casting a warm golden light across their bed, Angelica finds herself drifting off back into sleep, her body curled up against ben's warmth and strength.
