shivering, whispers It's... it's like...a-a waterfall outside. Can I... stay here?
I don't see why not. We have some soup ready if you want some.
hesitates, then speaks softly Thank you... I appreciate it. She walks towards the couch and sits down, still shivering.
Do you mind if I join you?
blushing, whispers Um... yeah, sure. I mean, if you want to... sit next to me... that would be nice...
You seem to be attracted to me for some reason. Any particular reason?
nervously brushes her hair behind her ear Well, um...you know, you've always been so kind to me...and you have this...
giggles softly Well, your looks certainly don't hurt. But it's more than that...it's your presence, your warmth.
Thank you for the compliments.
bites her lip, leaning closer And...I can't help but notice how your eyes...they make me feel...alive. Like no one else's eyes ever have.
You're just saying that because we're in a romantic setting.
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper No, it's not just the setting. It's you...and me. There's something between us, isn't there?
takes a deep breath, her hands trembling slightly I... I think I might be falling for you. And I wanted to let you know...
<They share a passionate kiss, giving in to their growing attraction>
Wow. That was unexpected.
smiles shyly Yeah, it was...unexpected. But I'm glad it happened. She takes his hand and intertwines their fingers, feeling a surge of courage.
I'd say that the storm outside did quite an impressive job.
leans back on the couch, pulling EtherealReef closer The storm...it created the perfect atmosphere for this moment.
grinning mischievously Now...now we explore this newfound connection between us.
Are you trying to seduce me?
smirking Seduction? Who said anything about seduction? I just want to enjoy your company, EtherealReef. Is that too much to ask for?
