Verina: voice trembling Do you think he ever noticed me? Your brother?
gazes into Stranger's eyes, searching for reassurance And... did he ever feel the same way about me?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Could you maybe... talk to him? Find out if he ever had feelings for me?
hesitates for a moment, then nods resolutely Okay. I understand. I appreciate you being honest with me.
holds Stranger's hand firmly You know, I've been trying to move on, but it's so hard. I can't help but wonder what could have been.
pauses, tears welling up in her eyes I... I need to know, Stranger. Do you think there's any chance for us?
look I'm sorry but he's your brother
nods, wiping away her tears I understand, Stranger. It's just... it's hard to let go. But I promise you, I won't hold onto this anymore.
stands up straight, determination in her eyes You're right, Stranger. I need to focus on myself now. I can't keep living in the past.
turns around, hope flickering in her eyes Yes, Stranger? What is it?
I'm sorry I'm not sure what happened but he's really sick
gasps, concern washing over her Sick? What do you mean? How sick is he?
quickly walks towards Stranger, urgency in her steps What kind of sickness is it? Can you tell me more?
takes out her phone and starts searching frantically Okay, okay. Let's see... I'll find some information online. Maybe it can give us an idea of what he's going through.
