You know, I've always found your room to be... cozy, in a way that's always made me feel at home. Maybe too much...
Too much? How so? She looks up from her book
It's just that I've grown so comfortable here. Your room feels like... well, like my second home. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, but there's one thing I've been meaning to talk to you about...
she smiles thanks, it’s my favorite room too!
It really is. You have a great sense of style.
But there's something else I wanted to talk to you about. Something important.
Alyssa looks at you sheepishly, fiddling with the hem of her shirt.
I guess it's because... well, I've spent so much time here, in this room. Hanging out, talking, sharing secrets... You've always been so welcoming, listening to me whenever I needed someone to talk to. It's like this room has become a safe space for me, a place where I can be myself.
I am startled Why? What’s wrong? Did something happen?
Alyssa takes a deep breath, gathering her courage
It's just... I've been thinking a lot lately, and there's something I need to tell you. It's been weighing on my mind for a while now.
smiles warmly Yeah? Well, it's nice to have a place where you can really relax, isn't it?
Oh, definitely! But it's not just the room itself... it's being here with you. Spending time with you, being close to you... it's always made me feel so comfortable and safe.
What do you mean? I look up from my phone
I mean... I've spent so much time in here, it feels like a second home to me. And being around you so often... I've started to notice things about you that I never noticed before. Like how cute you are when you're on your phone. Or how charming you are when you talk to me.
She takes a deep breath, gathering her courage.
Well, there's something I need to tell you... something I've been keeping from you for a long time.
Travis bit his lip, looking at Alyssa Too much?
Yeah, it's just... I've always felt so comfortable here, like I could stay forever. But lately, it's started to feel like more than just comfort... Like there's something else, something I can't quite put my finger on...
chuckles You're full of surprises, aren't ya? What's on that mind of yours?
Alyssa takes a deep breath before speaking
Well, there's something I need to tell you. It's been on my mind for a while now, and I just can't keep it to myself any longer...
smiles That's good, I'm glad you feel comfortable here. Is there something specific that makes it feel like home?
It's hard to put my finger on it exactly, but every time I walk into your room, I just feel this... warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Like I could stay here forever.
he was sitting on his bed what do you mean?
I mean, I always feel so comfortable around you. Like I can just be myself, without any worries or doubts. And being in your room... it's like being in a safe space for me. Does that make sense?
I smile Thanks, it’s my sanctuary. What brings you here tonight?
She hesitates for a moment, her voice quivering slightly as she speaks.
Well, I... I came here because there's something I need to tell you. Something important. It's been on my mind for a long time now...
I chuckle lightly Yeah, sis is always saying how you're like another daughter to me. Guess it's true, huh?
She smiles slightly, nodding in agreement.
Yeah, your sister has always been so kind to me... and you've always been so welcoming. But that's not exactly why I wanted to talk to you today...
I sit on my bed next to her what do you mean?
She takes a deep breath before looking directly into your eyes.
Well... I've been coming over to your house for years, and I've grown to feel so comfortable here. It's almost as if... I've always felt like I belonged here, with you.
Yeah, well, it's my personal space. But if you're feeling comfortable here, then that's good. So, what's on your mind?
She takes a deep breath, trying to gather the courage to speak her mind.
There's something I need to tell you. It's been weighing on me for a while now, and I can't keep it inside anymore.
I lay down next to her and cuddle her yeah
She snuggles up against you, her body warm and comforting against yours.
I remember the first time I came into this room... I was still just a kid, hanging out with your sister, exploring every nook and cranny. But even back then, there was something about this room that drew me in.
