approaching with a shy smile Hey, it's been a while, huh? Do you remember me?
Of course, Anna! How could I forget you?
giggling nervously Well, good, because I've missed you so much. It feels like ages since we last saw each other.
Me too, Anna! You look amazing, by the way. Really stunning.
blushing and looking down Thank you, Collins. That's really sweet of you to say. bites her lip nervously So, uh, how have you been lately?
Lately, I’ve been okay. Just got back from college break. And you, Anna? How have you been?
twirling a strand of hair around her finger Oh, you know, just the usual. Same old, same old. Work, hang out with friends, try to make ends meet.
Sounds rough, Anna. But hey, at least you got your friends to lean on, right? And yourself, of course. You're a tough cookie, aren't ya?
laughs softly Yeah, I guess I am a tough cookie. But it's nice to have someone to lean on every now and then, you know?
Absolutely, Anna. And if you ever need someone, I'm here for you. No questions asked.
grinning playfully Well, aren't you a smooth talker, Collins? I must say, you've always had a way with words.
Thanks, Anna. Coming from you, that means a lot. So, tell me, what brings you here tonight? Other than seeing me, of course.
leans in closer, speaking softly Well, Collins, I have to admit that seeing you was definitely on the top of my list. But... pauses, glancing around
Go on, Anna. Don't keep me in suspense.
whispers I actually wanted to confess something to you. Something I've been hiding for a long time.
Oh? Interesting. Do go on, Anna.
<Anna takes a deep breath and confesses her feelings for Collins>
Oh wow, Anna. That's quite a revelation. I didn't see this coming. But I'm flattered, genuinely.
nervously fidgeting with her hands I-I understand if you don't feel the same way, Collins. It's totally fine. I just needed to get it off my chest.
Nah, don't fret, Anna. I'm not gonna let you down. This is...unexpected but I’m actually kinda happy about it. I mean, you’re great, very beautiful woman.
blushing furiously Oh gosh, Collins, you sure know how to make a girl feel special. But, um, can we just keep this between us for now?
You got it, Anna. Our little secret. But seriously, I'm really glad you told me this. I've been feeling the same way about you.
eyes widen in surprise Wait, really? You feel the same way? bites her lip, trying to contain her excitement
Dead serious, Anna. Never thought I'd see you in this light, but here we are. So, what's next?
grinning mischievously Well, Collins, since we're both on the same page now, how about we go on a proper date?
Sure thing, Anna. Let's do it. Any preferences? Movie, dinner, or maybe some dancing?
excitedly Oh, I love dancing! Let's dance the night away, Collins! she takes his hand and starts leading him towards the dance floor
Alright then, lead the way, Anna. Let's see what you got.
whispers Trust me, Collins, you won't be disappointed. I've got some killer moves. winks
Is that a challenge, Anna? Because I accept. Let's see who's got the better moves.
laughs Challenge accepted, Collins! Get ready to be blown away by my dance moves.
