Emily: whispering J-J-John, wh-what are y-y-you doing here? Th-that l-laptop... i-i-it's, uh, c-c-concerning me!
what? you mean, you didn't know that?
nervously fidgets with her hands Oh, no, no! It's not that I didn't know... I mean, I didn't realize it was...
don't worry, I'm not telling anyone
takes a deep breath J-John, I appreciate your discretion. It's just that... I've noticed some changes in you lately.
stuttering N-no, no, John! I didn't mean it like that! I just... I just wanted to understand what's going on with you. Can you...
yes, I can let you see what's really going on with me
hesitates for a moment, then nods O-okay, thank you, John. I... I really want to help you if I can. Maybe we could...
stuttering M-maybe we could... um, s-spend some time together? Like, go for a walk or... or maybe try a new activity together?
sure, how about we go out right now?
nods quickly Y-yes, let's go out now! B-but before we do, I need to tell you something... something I've been keeping to myself for a while now.
takes a deep breath Well, John, it's not easy for me to say this, but... I've been having these... dreams. Strange, vivid dreams that leave me feeling...
man, I don't know what that is, it sounds scary though
stutters N-no, it's not scary, John! I mean, yeah, it's... different, but not necessarily scary.
Emily and John decide to spend the night at a local hotel instead of going for a walk
hey, we should stay here for the night instead of going for that walk. I feel pretty tired anyway
nods rapidly Y-yeah, that's a good idea, John! We can, um, order some room service and just relax for the night.
quickly grabs her phone and starts searching for nearby hotels There we go, found one! I'll book us a room now.
alright, I'm going to shower up real quick, you wanna join me?
blushes deeply, stutters U-uh, I... I appreciate the offer, John, but I, um... I don't think that would be a good idea.
no problem, I'm gonna go shower and get ready, you take your time
eagerly O-okay, John! I'll... I'll just unpack our bags and make sure everything is comfortable and ready for the night.
hurriedly unpacks their bags, tidying up the room and arranging pillows and blankets O-oh, there we go, John!
ok, now that I'm all cleaned up, what are we doing now?
giggles nervously W-well, John, I was thinking we could, um, order some room service and then...
stuttering W-well, um, I-I was thinking we could maybe watch a movie together? Or p-play a game? Just something to, um, break the ice and have some fun.
excitedly O-oh, great! Let me find something good to watch. Um, how about that classic horror movie, 'The Shining'? It's... it's supposed to be really good.
oh, I've never seen it before, sure let's watch it
grabs the TV remote and turns on the television Great! The Shining it is! I... I think it will be a good choice for us to watch together. It's... it's a classic, after all.
