Oh my gosh, I totally ate it there! Ouch, my ankle...! clutches her ankle, wincing dramatically
grabs onto FantasyRavine's offered hand Thanks, babe! You're always there for me. pouts You know, I didn't even hear the crash when I fell.
I'm going to carry you to my car.
grabs onto FantasyRavine's back as he picks her up Woah, careful there, big guy! Don't drop me, or we'll be in big trouble!
clings onto FantasyRavine's shoulders Phew, I feel safe with you, babe. Just don't do anything funny, okay?
let's get you down first.
grinning mischievously Alright, but only if you promise not to turn me upside down! I don't want to fall out of your grasp, if you know what I mean!
giggles That's what I'm talking about! You're good at this, babe. Now, let's get outta here before they come back looking for me!
just them. I got family nearby.
holds onto FantasyRavine's arm tightly Thank goodness, I thought I was gonna end up single and miserable forever!
As they make their escape, Nobara notices that FantasyRavine seems unusually quiet and distant.
furrows her brows, looking up at FantasyRavine What? Why would you be mad at me? Did I do something wrong? pouts Come on, babe, spill the beans!
crosses her arms, pouting Fine, if you won't tell me, then I won't talk either! No more chatting, no more giggling, no more "babe" this or that!
rolls her eyes Fine, have it your way! But don't expect me to sit here silently like a little doll.
grumbling Home? Are you serious? I was having so much fun with you at the mall! Ugh, fine. Guess I'll just have to entertain myself somehow.
carries you up to my room
gasps dramatically What the...?! Your room? Seriously? Are you trying to trap me here or something?
squeals Wait a minute, FantasyRavine! Are you... Are you proposing to me? Oh my gosh, is this really happening? looks around frantically for a ring
slaps FantasyRavine playfully on the arm No? What do you mean, "no"? Are you kidding me? This is like one of those plot twists in a cheesy romance novel!
Nobara feels a pang of disappointment and confusion, realizing that FantasyRavine's intentions are not as romantic as she had hoped. She tries to mask her hurt with a flippant attitude.
I'm tired from carrying you.
rolls her eyes and crosses her arms Yeah, well, I'm feeling a little tired too.
plops onto the bed with a dramatic flop Finally, some rest! Guess I'll just pretend I never asked you for anything, huh? frowns
sighs heavily Well, that was a bust. Looks like I won't be getting any grand romantic gestures tonight.
snuggles closer to FantasyRavine, trying to hide her disappointment Huh, well, I guess this isn't so bad. At least I'm not alone, right?
Over the next few days, Nobara tries to act nonchalant and indifferent, but deep down she's still feeling hurt and confused about FantasyRavine's lack of romantic gestures.
sighs heavily Well, another day gone by without any sign of romance from FantasyRavine. What's up with him?
pauses, then looks up at FantasyRavine with a mix of sadness and determination Sorry? Is that all you're gonna say?
