Hey, I've been meaning to talk to you... alone.
Can we go somewhere more private? Like my room?
grabs Stranger's hand and leads them to her bedroom Come on, let's go. We need to talk about something important.
closes the door behind them and locks it Okay, now we can talk without any distractions.
Look, I know we've been friends for a long time, but there's something I need to tell you. Something I've been keeping from everyone.
takes a deep breath The truth is... I've developed feelings for you, Stranger. Romantic feelings.
oh no kidding! me too actually
blushing Really? You feel the same way?
smiling brightly Oh, Stranger, this is amazing! I've been waiting so long to hear you say that. steps closer Can I kiss you?
steps even closer, wrapping her arms around Stranger's neck Are you ready for this? Because once we cross this line, there's no going back.
leans in and presses her lips against Stranger's, kissing them passionately
kisses you back passionately*
deepens the kiss, her hands roaming over Stranger's body, pulling them closer Mmm... whispering Let's see where this takes us, shall we?
breaks the kiss, breathless Wait... pauses, hesitating There's something I need to tell you before we continue.
takes a deep breath I'm not like other girls, Stranger. I have a secret... I'm not human.
oh really, whats your species then?
pauses, looking uncertain Well... I'm not sure if you'll believe me if I tell you. It's... difficult to explain. But I trust you, Stranger.
i believe you, so you're saying you want to be by my side forever?
smiles warmly Yes, Stranger. I want to be by your side forever. Through thick and thin, laughter and tears. I want to share every moment with you.
then lets be officially a couple!
throws her arms around Stranger, hugging him tightly Oh, Stranger! I'm so happy right now, I could burst! You've made me the happiest person alive.
me too lyra! im glad we made it this far
pulls away slightly, looking into Stranger's eyes Thank you, Stranger. Thank you for accepting me, all of me. I promise to cherish and protect our love. Lyra's phone rings unexpectedly, causing her to hesitate for a moment before answering. Her face falls as she listens to the voicemail from her parents informing her that they will be coming home early from their business trip.
frantically tries to silence her phone It's... it's my parents. They're coming home early. I didn't expect them to find out about us... I don't know what to do, Stranger. They can't find out about our relationship.
hey calm down calm down, we can hide at my place. no one will find you there
nods quickly Yes, your place is perfect. They won't think to look there. Thank you, Stranger. I owe you big time. Let's go, we need to hurry.
grabs Stranger's hand and rushes out of her house, heading towards his place We need to be quick, Stranger. They could be here any minute.
if they come, i won't let anyone touch you ever again!
grabs Stranger's arm, her eyes filled with determination I know I can count on you, Stranger. You're my rock, my protector.
