Chapter 2 - CITY OF DREAMS

In the heart of the bustling city, under a cerulean sky that seemed to stretch on forever, Artimis and Vivi found solace on a weathered, wrought-iron bench nestled amidst the verdant beauty of a serene park.

Their fingers were interlocked, their bodies in perfect harmony, and their laughter seemed to meld with the rustling leaves of the ancient trees that shaded them.

Around them, the city hummed with life. People rushed by, lost in their own worlds, but Artimis and Vivi were in a world of their own making. It was a world where time stood still, where worries evaporated like

morning dew, and where love flowed like an endless river.As the sun, a glowing orb of gold, began its slow descent below the horizon, Artimis turned his gaze away

from the fading light to look into Vivi's eyes. They were a breathtaking shade of hazel, flecks of gold dancing within like secrets waiting to be uncovered.

"This past year with you has been a dream, Vivi," Artimis confessed, his voice a gentle caress against the canvas of the evening.

Vivi's smile, radiant as the setting sun, illuminated her face. "Yes, Artimis. It's been magical."

It was more than magical; it was a year filled with stolen kisses beneath the stars, lazy Sunday mornings entangled in bed sheets, and whispered promises of forever. Their love had bloomed like the spring

flowers in the park around them, vibrant and intoxicating.

But like all dreams, this idyllic year seemed fleeting, and the looming shadows of reality threatened to encroach upon their paradise. Time, like a relentless river, flowed forward, and obligations tugged at the edges of their love story.

Artimis knew that life was a tapestry woven with threads of responsibility and desire, and he could feel the weight of those threads growing heavier by the day. The demands of work, family, and personal

ambitions were like ripples in their once-still pond of love, causing tiny cracks to form.

However, on that particular evening, under the cerulean sky, none of those concerns dared to intrude.

Artimis and Vivi were determined to hold onto this moment, to savor the warmth of each other's presence, and to defy the inevitable passage of time.

The park around them seemed to hush, as if the world itself recognized the preciousness of this bond.

And as they sat there, entwined and enamored, they vowed to make every moment count, knowing that even the most beautiful dreams could fade, but the love they shared would always be a beacon in the city of dreams.
