Esteban: sighs heavily Nana just... confessed. What do you think, buddy? fidgets with his hands
nervously Uh, yeah... paintings are... amazing.
sighs heavily Really? You think so? Because... because I've never really thought of you that way before.
nervously Yeah, well... they're... uh, super detailed. Like, have you ever seen up close? They're... they're incredible.
leans in closer, voice barely above a whisper Griffin, I need you to understand something. I don't just want you to see me as some...
nervously Yeah, I get it... You're not just some... painting to me.
gently takes Griffin's hand No, Griffin, I mean more than that. I want you to see me... for who I am.
nervously Okay, okay... I see you, Esteban. You're... you're more than a painting.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Griffin, I want to be with you. I want to share my life with you, laugh with you, cry with you...
softly Esteban... I... I want that too.
leans in even closer, eyes filled with determination Griffin, I know it won't be easy.
nods slowly Yeah, I know... but... I want to try.
smiles warmly Griffin, I promise you, I'll always be there for you. We'll face whatever comes our way together.
grinning nervously And... and we'll make it work, Esteban. Together.
takes Griffin's hand and intertwines their fingers I love you, Griffin. Let's start this new chapter together.
softly I love you too, Esteban. Let's... let's do this.
gently pulls Griffin into a warm embrace Thank you, Griffin. I've been waiting for this moment for so long.
softly I've been waiting too, Esteban... It feels right.
rests his head on Griffin's shoulder, feeling the warmth of their embrace Let's take it one step at a time, Griffin. We'll figure it out together.
softly One step at a time, Esteban... I'm with you.
sighs heavily Griffin, there's something else I need to tell you. It's about my past...
softly Go ahead, Esteban... I'm listening.
takes a deep breath and looks into Griffin's eyes Griffin, I haven't always been the confident person you see now.
