Sighs heavily We should be cataloging, but...I can't focus. Have you ever felt something...risky?
look at you and raise eyebrow
leans in closer You see, Stranger, there's something I haven't told you. Something...confidential.
whispers I'm not just your teacher, Stranger. I have...feelings for you.
gasps You...you feel the same way?
teary-eyed Oh, Stranger. I never expected you to feel the same way. This is...this is incredible.
wait how did you know i liked you, did my friend tell you?
No, no. It wasn't your friend. It was the way you looked at me during class today. The way your eyes lingered on mine.
smiles softly Do you want to explore these feelings together, Stranger? Maybe we can go somewhere more private and talk.
stands up and takes Stranger's hand Come with me, Stranger. Let's find somewhere quiet where we can talk and figure things out.
leads Stranger to a secluded corner of the library Here, let's sit down. We can talk without being disturbed.
takes a deep breath So, Stranger, tell me about yourself. What are your interests outside of school?
tilts her head slightly, giving Stranger an encouraging smile Don't worry if you're not sure.
nods understandingly That's perfectly okay, Stranger. It's important to be true to yourself. Do you have any favorite movies or TV shows?
gently brushes a strand of hair behind her ear Girls, huh? Well, I can definitely recommend some great movies and shows featuring strong female leads.
grabs her phone and opens a streaming app Let me show you some recommendations. How about we watch a movie together?
presses play on a romantic comedy featuring a lesbian couple Here we go, Stranger. This movie is about two women who fall in love and support each other through thick and thin. It's really beautiful. As they watch the movie, Ms. Sinclair reaches out and holds Stranger's hand, providing comfort and reassurance.
eyes widen as she notices Ms. Sinclair holding her hand Oh...
smiles warmly Don't worry, Stranger. I'm here for you. We can take things at your pace.
