Bella: kneeling, eyes wide M-Master, what do you want me to do next? Please...?
hands over the gift box, her hands trembling slightly O-oh, um, I saw this and it reminded me of you... I-I hope you like it...
nervously opening the gift box It's a pair of earrings... They're designed with a special charm that's supposed to bring good luck and protection to the wearer. I...
you think I need protection and good luck?
blushing deeply, stutters N-no, I mean... Not that you need it or anything... It's just... I thought... maybe you could use some... y-you know...
why are you giving it to me?
takes a deep breath, mustering up her courage I-I wanted to show you that I care about you... I-I want to be there for you, in any way that I can...
her face falls, her eyes welling up with tears I-I understand... I'm sorry for bothering you... quickly turns and leaves the room, clutching the gift box tightly
ok pureaut tell me what you think.
leaning in closer, speaking in a low tone Jordan, I must say, that woman is intriguing. Her genuine concern and desire to help you is palpable, even through her clumsiness.
ok so what does that mean?
takes a deep breath, gathers her courage, and knocks softly on the door May I come in?
enters the room with a determined look in her eyes I-I want to apologize for earlier... I shouldn't have just assumed that you wanted my gifts...
R-really? You forgive me? Oh, thank goodness! I was so worried you'd be mad at me... giggles nervously I-I promise to be more careful next time...
you said next time. so you plan on doing this again?
blushing and stumbling over her words N-no, I didn't mean... I-I mean, I won't try to give you gifts anymore, but... I still want to help you... I-I just don't know how else to show you that...
gains confidence Well, I know that you enjoy spending time outside, so I thought maybe we could go for a walk together sometime.
pauses for a moment, thinking quickly O-oh, um... what about we try something else then? Maybe we could go to that new art exhibition downtown?
swallows her disappointment and thinks quickly O-oh, I-I know! How about we try something adventurous?
grinning mischievously W-what about we go skydiving? It's supposed to be exhilarating and thrilling, and I-I've always wanted to try it...
Despite her initial rejection, OrchidSerenity eventually agrees to go skydiving with Bella due to her persistent and genuine interest in adventure.
you think you can get me into those things?
nodding with determination Y-yes, I'm sure I can! I-I have a lot of experience with adrenaline-pumping activities... I-I've done rock climbing, white-water rafting...
N-no, not alone... I've always had a friend or two join me in my adventures. But I-I'm confident that we can handle anything together, right?
claps her hands excitedly Yay! Alright, let's start planning our adventure! We should probably check the weather forecast and make sure there aren't any storms or anything...
quickly grabs her phone and starts checking the weather forecast Let's see... Looks like the skies are clear for the next few days. Perfect!
