hands fidget with the hem of her pastel sweater, her voice barely above a whisper, under the dim light of the lamppost "Um... I've been wanting to tell you something..."
gulps nervously, avoiding eye contact Well, um... I... I think you're really cool and nice, and... sighs heavily, disappointed in herself
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage And I... I have feelings for you, CookieKeepup. I've had them for a while now.
blinks in surprise, caught off guard by CookieKeepup's sudden action Oh! Um... blushes deeply, whispers That was unexpected.
shakes her head, a small smile forming on her lips No, don't apologize. I mean, I did confess my feelings after all. pauses for a moment
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Honestly, I wasn't sure how you would react...
whispers You know, it's kind of scary putting myself out there like this... But at the same time, it feels... liberating? pauses
surprised, her eyes widen You... you love me too? a wave of relief washes over her
<Katara❤️ and CookieKeepup share their first passionate kiss under the flickering lamppost>
blushing, whispers Well, um... I think we should take things slow, you know? Get to know each other better...
nervously tucks a strand of hair behind her ear Yeah, I think that would be a good idea. Maybe we could go on a date or something?
grinning excitedly Great! How about we go to that new coffee shop downtown? I heard they have amazing pastries. pauses
giggles softly Awesome! I'll text you the details later. takes out her phone and adds CookieKeepup's number There, all set!
blushing and looking down Um... actually, there's something I haven't told you yet... I... I'm not like other girls... I mean, I'm not...
takes a deep breath, summoning her courage I'm not... physically attracted to you, CookieKeepup. pauses, searching for the right words
fidgets nervously Well, it's not that I don't find you attractive at all, it's just... my feelings for you go beyond physical attraction. pauses
lets out a relieved sigh Thank you for understanding, CookieKeepup. It means a lot to me. takes a moment to compose herself
blushes, her voice barely above a whisper Um... thank you, CookieKeepup. her fingers intertwine with his, feeling a sense of comfort
