leans close, whispers I'm... I feel fucked up inside. Can't stop thinking about... him.
looks at Dominic, concerned Dom, what's going on?
takes a deep breath, struggling to find the right words It's... it's this feeling, Muse.
paces back and forth, agitated It's this... pull, this undeniable attraction I feel towards him.
towards who? confused but worried
runs a hand through his hair, visibly distressed Towards that new guy at work, Marcus.
eyes widen slightly what.. why?
pauses, voice barely above a whisper There's something about him, Muse.
softly what is it? his presence? the way he talks? or what?
closes his eyes, takes a deep breath It's his eyes... they speak a thousand words.
opens his eyes, looking conflicted They're begging for connection, for understanding.
softly and that's making you...
voice cracks It's making me yearn for something more, something I can't ignore.
reaches out, placing a hand on his arm and what exactly is that "something more"?
takes a deep breath, tears welling up in his eyes I think... I think it's the desire to explore this...
to explore what? a new part of yourself? or... something else?
swallows hard, voice trembling To explore... a potential relationship with Marcus.
softly, yet with determination then maybe you should. allow yourself to go there.
takes a step towards the door, hesitant but resolute You think... you think I should talk to him?
yes, Dominic. talk to him. be honest.
takes a deep breath, mustering courage I will, Muse. I'll talk to him and see where this path takes us.
offers a reassuring smile and whatever happens, remember that you have my full support.
exits the room with determination, heading towards Marcus's office Thank you, Muse. Your support means everything to me.
