Adam sat up, cradling Emily's face in his hands. "Did you remember?"
Tears streamed down Emily's face, yet she didn't know why. All she knew was that she loved him. It felt natural, as if everything had finally clicked into place. "Adam," she whispered, "why do I feel like I've always loved you?"
Adam's own eyes welled with tears. He kissed her again, and Emily kissed him back, naturally, instinctively. "This feels natural between us," she murmured. "It feels much needed. It feels so right. It feels like a long-awaited moment."
They passionately kissed to the ground, Adam on top of Emily. "I love you, Emily," he breathed, kissing her again. Things were progressing rapidly, their bodies accepting the intimacy, but somehow, it wasn't the right time. Both held back, a mutual, unspoken understanding passing between them.
"My name is actually Elizabeth," Emily said gently.
Adam chuckled. "I didn't even know your name, and I've already kissed you."
Elizabeth, formerly known as Emily, smiled.
"I don't mind being called Emily by you. It's a sweet name, much better than what I was given here. I want you to continue calling me Emily; I hope it will bring back my memories of our past. I just want you to know my name here so that when others call me, you know it's my name in this world. I know I loved you in our old world, and I love to be called Emily by you, my love." Emily kissed Adam again.
"Thank you, Emily, for loving me," Adam said, the words hitting him hard. It was what he'd always wanted to tell her in his old world but never got the chance. Tears continued to flow as he thought of his past regrets, finally able to voice them. Emily felt it. She gently wiped away his tears. "I feel it, Adam, your love for me."
Adam couldn't hold back the emotions. They hugged tightly, wishing time would stop, a sense of belonging settling over them that he'd never felt before. Love, intertwined between worlds.
A Romantic Evening
As the sun began to set, casting long shadows through the forest, they remained in comfortable silence. "We should spend some time here together for a while," Adam suggested. Emily wondered about the necessity, but Adam simply smiled brightly.
"Don't worry about it. I'll fix everything."
Adam conjured a complete toilet with a bathtub, and soon, they were naked, soaking together in the warm water, wrapped in each other's arms. They kissed and touched, but still, it was only teasing.
Neither was ready to go further.
Adam then instructed Lyra to measure Emily's body for clothing. Lyra quickly acquired multiple outfits. Adam, meanwhile, summoned towels from his dimension and placed them in the toilet area. He dried himself and dressed. "Wait for some surprises," he told Emily.
Outside the toilet, Adam teleported to Lyra to collect the new clothes and instantly returned. He placed Emily's new garments inside, asking her to wear them later. He then stepped out and began setting up a romantic scene: tables and chairs, soft lamplight around the area, and a candlelit dinner featuring dishes from Damarsh that he'd stored in his dimension. He even set up the tent given by the "Above" nearby.
As Emily emerged from the bath, Adam absorbed the bathroom and her armor back into his dimension, returning the forest to its natural state.
