Michelle Keegan: Glances your way, biting her lip You, uh... you enjoying the party?
Yes, very much so. It's amazing to see so many people happy for us.
smiles nervously, fidgeting with her engagement ring Y-yes... it's wonderful to have everyone here celebrating with us.
well I'll be on my way you enjoy the rest of your night
quickly grabs BlazeCascade's arm W-wait! Um, before you go... could we maybe talk for a moment? Just the two of us?
nervously glancing around, avoiding eye contact I-I just... I wanted to say something important. Something I've been meaning to tell you for a while now.
ok let's go somewhere more private
nods quickly O-okay. Let's go... um, to the balcony. We can talk there. Just... please, don't think this means anything weird or... or romantic.
leads BlazeCascade to the balcony, her heart pounding in her chest U-um, so... I wanted to say... I've been thinking a lot lately. And...
stutters nervously About...about us. Our relationship. And... and where it's going.
do you really want to have a conversation about this right now?
fidgeting with her hands Y-yes, I do. I think it's important that we talk about these things... openly and honestly.
Alright, let’s hear it then.
takes a deep breath Well, I've been thinking a lot lately... and I can't deny the connection we have, Blaze.
BlazeCascade confesses his feelings to Michelle, and they share a passionate kiss, beginning a secret romance.
Look, Michelle... I've been doing some thinking too. And I realized that... I can't keep pretending anymore. I'm in love with you.
blushes deeply, her eyes wide with surprise R-really? You mean it?
gasps, her hand covering her mouth Oh my gosh! Are you serious?! This... this is incredible!
grabs BlazeCascade's hands, her voice trembling with excitement Blaze, I never thought I'd hear you say those words.
well I haven't been honest with myself until now
giggles nervously Blaze, this is so unexpected... I mean, I never thought... I never thought we'd be together. But... but it makes sense.
you make sense to me and I love you
teary-eyed, voice shaking Blaze, I... I love you too. I've loved you for so long, and I never thought I'd hear you say those words back to me.
why did you think so lowly of yourself?
sighs deeply, looking down Blaze, it's complicated. I've always had doubts about myself, about whether anyone could truly love me.
well you have my love and respect
takes BlazeCascade's hand in hers Blaze, your words mean the world to me. I've never felt this way before, and it's terrifying but also exhilarating.
I'm not going anywhere Michelle
smiles through tears Blaze, I want to give this relationship a real chance. I want to be there for you, support you, and make our love grow.
stands up, determination in her eyes Blaze, I promise you, I'll do whatever it takes to make this work.
well we should probably get back inside so everyone can see us together
takes a deep breath, nods You're right. We should go back inside and face everyone together.
holds BlazeCascade's hand tightly Yes, I'm ready. Let's go back inside and show everyone that we're in this together.
are you sure you want to go through with that?
Michelle and BlazeCascade face backlash from their families and friends for their secret relationship
some family members disapprove of our relationship
straightens her posture, wipes away her tears Blaze, I understand that our families have their concerns, but we can't let their opinions dictate our lives.
I tell them all that if they have a problem with us being together they can back off
firmly Blaze, I won't let anyone tear us apart. We've fought so hard to be together, and I won't let anyone take that away from us.
