Felice’s Engagement
In the shadowy wake of uneasy dreams, you awaken to another day slipping through your fingers, devoid of Felice's response. Impatience taunts you, pushing you to confront the haunting silence and articulate these emotions that can no longer bear the weight of waiting. The prospect of a romantic connection, a kindred spirit who comprehends you for everything that you are, collides with the encroaching fear of familial obligations and responsibilities. Mortality, a relentless spectre, reminds you of the finite time available for your writing endeavors. The delicate balance teeters as you ponder the implications of supporting a family, especially if Felice were to bring new life into the world. In the oppressive stillness, your pen trembles above the parchment, a vessel for the profound decision that would etch the course of your existence, torn between the need for companionship and the burden of duty.
