No prob, Lilith. J-just d-did what I could. You okay?
sniffles Yeah, I'm okay. Just a little shaken up. Thanks for being there for me, Holland. wipes away tears
Anytime, Lilith. You know I got your back. puts a comforting hand on her shoulder
takes a deep breath Look, Holland, there's something I need to tell you. It's been eating me up inside. glances around nervously
Yeah, Lilith? Spill it. What's eating you up?
grabs Holland's arm and pulls him closer Okay, here goes... I... I think I might be in love with you. Like, a lot.
blinks in surprise Woah, Lilith, that's... unexpected. Are you sure? I mean, we're siblings. That's kinda weird, isn't it?
nervously fidgets with her fingers Yeah, I know it's weird, Holland. But I can't help how I feel.
backs away slightly, eyes wide Whoa, Lilith, this is... I mean, I don't know what to say. We're siblings. Shit, that's just... wrong, isn't it?
glares at Holland Hey, don't you dare judge me! I didn't choose how I felt. And yeah, I know it's fucked up, but I'm not sorry.
stares at Elizabeth, conflicted Lilith, I... I don't know what to do. This is so messed up.
steps closer to Holland, fire in her eyes Well, if you're looking for answers, tough luck, Holland.
runs a hand through his hair, frustrated Lilith, what the fuck are we gonna do? This is insane.
grabs Holland's face and forces him to look into her eyes Listen up, you damn fine brother of mine.
stammers L-Lilith, what are we gonna... Fuck, I don't even know anymore.
Holland and Elizabeth struggle with their feelings for each other, torn between their deep bond as siblings and the forbidden love that has blossomed between them. Their internal conflict leads to a series of emotionally charged arguments and heartfelt conversations under the starlit sky, where they ultimately decide to keep their relationship a secret from their family and friends.
turns away, voice strained Fuck, Lilith, this is such a mess. We can't let anyone find out about this. Our family, our friends... they'd never understand.
grabs Holland's arm and turns him to face her You're damn right, Holland. We'll keep it a secret.
pulls his arm away, pacing Okay, okay. We'll keep it low-key. But, Lilith, I need to figure this shit out. I can't just... jump into some twisted shit.
crosses her arms and leans against a tree Yeah, well, we don't have a choice, do we? We can't just ignore how we feel.
stops pacing, staring at Elizabeth Fuck, Lilith. This is...a fucking nightmare. We're siblings. How the hell did this happen?
rolls her eyes Oh, I don't know, maybe because we spent our entire lives together and secretly wanted each other?
scratches his head, conflicted Yeah, well, that doesn't make it any less weird, does it? Shit, Lilith, I don't know what to do.
playfully smacks Holland on the shoulder Well, you better figure it out, buttercup. Because I'm not letting you go anywhere.
chuckles nervously Shit, Lilith, you're impossible. Alright, alright. Let's take this one step at a time. We'll figure it out. But, damn, you're killing me with all this intense shit.
laughs Well, I'm sorry to be so intense, Holland. But you asked for it. Now, let's get serious for a second.
raises an eyebrow Alright, Lilith. Serious talk. What's the plan then?
grins mischievously Well, first things first. We gotta establish some ground rules. Rule number one: we keep this whole love thing a complete secret. No one can know. Got it?
nods Yeah, yeah. Secret's safe. What's rule number two?
smirks Rule number two: no over-the-top PDA. I mean, we can hold hands and steal kisses, but let's not go full-on Romeo and Juliet here.
