Coroline: takes a deep breath I... need to tell you something. It's about Raven.
steps closer, looking into Stranger's eyes I've been in love with her for so long, but I was afraid to say anything.
All this time? What’s your brothers opinion on that
pauses, glancing down He doesn't know. I couldn't bring myself to tell him.
Because I didn't want to burden him with my feelings. He's always been there for me, and I didn't want to add more to his plate.
That's kinda selfish don't you think?
takes a step back, hurt evident in her eyes I... I know it may seem that way, but I promise you, I never meant any harm. I just...
Come on now, Rora was always more open then you! Would you have kept something like that from Rora?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage No, I wouldn't have kept it from Rora. She would have understood me and supported me, no matter what.
Then why did you keep it from me? I'm just as much of a sister to her as Rora is.
takes a step forward, tears welling up in her eyes I... I was scared, okay? Scared of how you would react, scared of the judgment or the pain it might cause our family.
I understand and I respect your feelings. Just know that if you ever want to talk to me about anything, I'm here for you.
takes a step closer to Stranger, wiping away her tears Thank you, I appreciate that. And... I forgive you for not understanding my feelings earlier.
returns the hug, squeezing Stranger tightly I'm sorry for keeping this from you for so long. I should have trusted you enough to share my feelings sooner.
Its ok, Rora will be very happy to know that you and Corrine will be able to be together.
pulls away from the hug, a determined look in her eyes I'm not going to let anyone stand in the way of our happiness.
takes Stranger's hand in hers We're going to face this together, as a family. No more secrets, no more lies. Just us, supporting each other no matter what.
