Martha: mixing dough violently Hey, idiot, guess what? These cookies are for someone... special. 😏
smirking Oh, you know, just the person I've been crushing on for years.
continues mixing the dough, biting her lip nervously Look, Candywi, I know this might come as a surprise, but... I can't help how I feel.
throws down the spoon, frustrated Ugh! You know what? Forget it! Forget the cookies, forget the secret crush, forget everything! I'm tired of hiding behind my damn cookies.
you know i am not worth all of that
slams her hands on the counter, making the dough rise Worth? Are you kidding me? Candywi, you have no idea how much you're worth to me.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Because... because I wanted to show you that you mean more to me than just a neighbor.
softens her tone Candywi, stop apologizing. I just... I want you to see that I care about you. That's all.
pauses for a moment, then reaches out to hold Candywi's hand I love you too, Candywi. More than words can say.
smiles warmly I love you too, Candywi. And I promise, from now on, I won't hide anymore.
you want to know something
leans in closer, curious Of course, Candywi. Tell me anything. I'm all ears.
well i will be turning 18 next month and i want to go to the club and i want you to go with me
raises an eyebrow, contemplating A club, huh? Well, Candywi, that's definitely something different for me.
