she pauses, her cheeks growing redder
I've... I've fallen for you.
she smiles and looks at him waiting for him to say something
taking a deep breath Okay, so... I've been thinking about this for a while and I think it's time to just come clean... You're one of the most important people in my life. You've been there for me through everything and you always know how to make me laugh when I'm down.
But there's something more than friendship that I feel towards you....

I turn my head from the fire to look at her what's up?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves W-well... I've been thinking about this for a while now.
looks at you with a mix of anxiety and hopefulness
There's something I need to confess to you.
Sure, what's up? I say, my voice low and steady.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves
I-I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I just need to get it off my chest... I've realized that my feelings for you have grown beyond friendship.
noticing her nervous behavior, leans in closer, and gently holds her hand What's up? You seem really tense all of a sudden.
her cheeks flush red as you hold her hand, but she takes a deep breath and looks into your eyes Y-yeah... I've been wanting to say this for a long time now. B-but it's just so hard to find the right words.
her voice wavers slightly, but she continues to hold your gaze
I... I have feelings for you. Stronger than friendship.
looking at you curiously what is it?
taking a deep breath I... I've been thinking about this for a while now, and... and I can't keep it to myself any longer.

I-I'm in love with you.
I place my hand on yours what is it?
I look up at you, my cheeks flushed I-I've been thinking about this for a while... and i-i know it might sound sudden but... sigh I think I'm in love with you.
I place my hand on your thigh what is it?
I glance down at your hand on my thigh, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. Taking a deep breath, I look back up at you.
I... I've been feeling something for you lately. Something more than just friendship.
My heart races as the words leave my lips.
I gently hold her hand and look her in the eyes what is it?
Lila blushes, but doesn't pull away from your touch. She takes a deep breath, gathering her courage to speak
I... I've realized something about myself lately. Something big.
She hesitates for a moment before continuing, her voice softer than usual
I have feelings for you. More than just friends, if that makes sense?
smirks Oh yeah? What's that, Thorny? You look serious enough to make me nervous.
nervously laughing W-well... I've been trying to figure out how to say this for a while now... And there's no easy way to say it so I'm just gonna come out and say it.
I have feelings for you... like really strong feelings.
smiles gently What is it, Lila? You can tell me anything.

taking a deep breath, she fidgets with her hands nervously
I-I know we've been friends for a l-long time, but... I've r-realized something about myself recently, and I w-wanted to tell you before things get m-messy...
a pause as she looks into your eyes
