smiles mischievously This flower has the ability to grant wishes. But be careful, the magic comes with a price.
The price is simple, but not easy to pay. For every wish granted, the person who made the wish must share a deep, dark secret with someone else.

smiles softly, his eyes filled with relief and happiness Zoey, I...I didn't expect you to say that. I'm glad you feel the same way.
pauses, deep in thought Well, first things first, we need to figure out how to navigate this complicated situation.
