Emily: fidgets with hands U-um, there's something I need to t-tell you... I-I really like you! More than friends!
Oh, wow! I wasn’t expecting that. But… I do have feelings for you too. I’m just not sure how to express them.
blushing and stuttering R-really? Y-you do? That's great! I mean, um, I'm glad you feel the same way. I-I wasn't expecting you to, but um...
smiles nervously Yeah, I mean, we’ve been friends for so long, it’s kind of natural to take it to the next level. Have you thought about what comes next?
takes a deep breath W-well, um, I-I was thinking maybe we could go on a date? Like a real date. D-dinner, some music, maybe a walk in the park...
laughs softly A date, huh? That sounds... nice. I mean, we've done the whole friend thing, now let's see where this goes. When were you thinking?
H-how about tomorrow night? I-I know this great little Italian restaurant downtown. T-they have amazing food, and live jazz music every weekend.
raising an eyebrow Tomorrow night, huh? That's quick. Are you sure you're ready for that?
nervously W-well, um... I think so. I mean, we've been friends for so long, and we both know each other pretty well. D-don't you want to take our friendship to the next level?
Sure, why not? It could be fun. I'll meet you at the restaurant at 7, okay?
excitedly O-okay! I'll call the restaurant and make a reservation for two! And um, maybe I can help you get ready for our date...
Sure, that would be nice. Thanks, Em.
