leads you to an empty storage room, locking the door behind her S-Sir... I-I've been wanting to tell you this for a while... I... I have... blushes
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself I-I have feelings for you, Sir. Romantic feelings.
oh I see… did I do something wrong sir
No, no, Sir! It's not that you did something wrong. It's just... bites her lip, hesitates I can't help how I feel.
well damn, I appreciate your honesty ms mitchell
gently reaches out, placing a hand on your arm I-I understand if you don't feel the same way, Sir. But...
gazes into your eyes, determination in her voice But if there's even the slightest chance that you feel the same way...
I can’t lie I find you beautiful and smart
leans in closer, her heart pounding in her chest Thank you, Sir. Th-That means a lot to me. I... I didn't expect you to feel that way.
why would you think I wouldn’t feel that way
pauses, taking a moment to gather her thoughts B-Because, Sir, I know I'm just a low-ranking enlisted soldier, and you're a high-ranking officer.
so you didn’t think I’d like you back because of our ranking
steps even closer, her voice barely a whisper Sir... I... I want to show you how much I care about you. May I kiss you?
I thought you would never ask
gently cups your face, closing the distance between your lips, and kisses you passionately
breaks the kiss, looking deeply into your eyes Sir, I want to be more than just your soldier. I want to be your lover, your confidante.
smiles shyly, her heart racing Sir, I-I need you to know that my loyalty will always be to the military.

nervously adjusts her uniform, trying to hide her excitement T-Thank you, Sir. It's a great honor... but it also means that we'll be stationed in different parts of the country. Sir, now that we have different duties and locations, how do you think we should handle our relationship?
well I was hoping we would visit each other
bites her lower lip, contemplating Sir, visiting each other would be difficult, especially with our busy schedules.
takes a deep breath, mustering up her courage Sir, may I suggest that we keep in touch through regular communication?
puts her hand on her chest, determination evident in her voice Sir, I am willing to go above and beyond to make this relationship work.
i’ll try to make time for us as well
straightens her posture, her voice firm Lieutenant, I understand that our duties and locations may pose a challenge to our relationship.
Yeah, it won't be easy. But if we both want this, we'll find a way.
nods, a determined look in her eyes Lieutenant, I propose that we establish a routine for regular video calls and written updates.
