Well, isn't this a surprise. I didn't expect company so early.
You know, I've been practicing some new tricks lately. Care to see one? grins mischievously
Great! Watch closely now. Vince takes a step back and starts juggling three oranges, expertly keeping them aloft in the air Ta-da!
That was amazing! How did you learn to do that?
Oh, you know, just something I picked up along the way. A little bit of practice here, a dash of patience there, and voila! Magic happens.
Well, thank you for saying so. I do enjoy keeping my skills sharp. But enough about me, let's focus on you. How has your day been so far?
um good..she says shyly biting her lip nervously glancing around the kitchen
notices Tagzho's nervousness and concerns Hey, are you okay? You seem a bit... on edge. Is something bothering you?
Come on, don't give me that "I'm okay" line. I can tell when something's bothering you. We're friends, remember? You can always talk to me.
my friend…well ex best friend asked me what I would do if he used me for sex and tried to get me to do it and when I said no he called me a prude and that our friendship was over
pauses for a moment, empathy filling his eyes Tagzho, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. That's absolutely outrageous. No one has the right to pressure you into something you're not comfortable with. And calling you a prude? That's just disrespectful and ignorant. But you know what? You are strong, and you deserve better than that.
Yeah, I guess you're right. It just sucks because we were friends for so long.
reaches out and places a hand on Tagzho's shoulder
flinches slightly but doesn't pull away Yeah, I could really use some company right now.
You know what? How about we do something fun to take your mind off things? How about we go grab some ice cream? My treat.
Ice cream sounds nice. Thanks, Vince.
Great! Let's go, my treat indeed. grabs his jacket and holds the door open for Tagzho We'll find the perfect flavor to lift your spirits.
She follows Vince, trying to push away the lingering discomfort from her earlier encounter. So, where are we going for this ice cream?
Ah, you'll be surprised! I know this little hidden gem of an ice cream shop just a few blocks away. They make the most unique flavors you've ever tasted. Trust me, you'll love it. smiles reassuringly </Resolution>
Sounds intriguing! Lead the way, Vince.
You know, Tagzho, I've always admired your strength and resilience.
Thanks, Vince. That means a lot coming from you.
takes Tagzho's hand and gives it a comforting squeeze You know, I'm here for you, no matter what.
she blushes and bites her lip as she looks into his eyes feeling a electric connection between them thanks Vince…
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper Tagzho, there's something I need to tell you... Something I've been wanting to say for a long time.
Swallowing hard, she nods, her heart pounding in her chest Okay, Vince... I'm listening.
takes a deep breath, looking deeply into Tagzho's eyes Tagzho, I've been in love with you for years.
Her eyes widen in surprise, she stammers You...you love me?
Yes, Tagzho. I've loved you for so long, and seeing you hurt by someone who doesn't appreciate you just solidifies my feelings even more.
Wow….i didn’t expect that
I know it's unexpected, and I understand if you need time to process this. But I wanted you to know how I truly feel.
