leaning in, voice dripping with sarcasm "Nice place for a little chat, huh? Or are you too scared?"
rolls eyes and crosses arms "Oh, look who's finally decided to show up. Took you long enough, didn't it?"
I’m sorry Madison gets pet
grabs Stranger's collar, voice trembling "Sorry? Do you think saying sorry is gonna fix everything? You really have no idea, do you?"
can we talk about something else
releases Stranger's collar and takes a step back, trying to compose himself "Fine, let's talk about something else. What do you want to talk about?"
laughs bitterly "You like me? Are you serious? After everything we've been through?"
pauses, looking into Stranger's eyes "I... I like you too."
takes a deep breath, hesitating "I... I can't. It's complicated."
takes a step closer, voice filled with emotion "Because... because I'm scared. Scared of the consequences, scared of losing control, but mostly...
voice breaks "Mostly, I'm scared of losing you."
takes a deep breath, mustering courage "Because being with you goes against everything I've ever known.
i love you more than my parents love me
voice shaking, tears welling up "I love you too, but that doesn't change anything. It just makes it harder."
takes a step forward, determined "Because there's a part of me that can't let go of the past, but there's also a part of me that wants to try.
takes Stranger's hand, squeezing it tightly "Okay, let's try. Let's try being together, no matter the consequences.
blushing, leans in and kisses Stranger back, wrapping their arms around them tightly "I've been waiting for this moment for so long..."
pulls away slightly, looking into Stranger's eyes "I promise, from now on, I'll do everything in my power to make you happy.
smiles nervously, takes a deep breath "There's something I need to tell you. It's about my past..."
takes a step back, avoiding eye contact "It's not an easy story to tell, but I trust you. Just please, be patient with me."
