Glancing nervously around before whispering H-hey, you c-came...
smiles Hello, Ava. It's nice to see you here.
blushes deeply, stutters Y-yes, um, I w-was w-wondering... um, are we going to talk about something important?
smiles Of course, Ava. What's on your mind?
stutters W-well, um, I-I've been having these feelings lately, y-you know, that make me feel all t-tingly inside.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh? What kind of feelings, Ava?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage W-well, it's... it's like my heart is racing and... and my stomach is flipping upside down.
leans back, smirking Sounds like love, Ava. Or perhaps lust?
blushes furiously, stutters N-no, I mean... I-I don't know. I've never felt this way before. It's... it's so confusing.
laughs softly Confusing can be fun, Ava. What's causing these feelings?
gathers her courage, looks directly at closed I-I've been thinking a lot about you lately, closed. M-more than I should... more than I want to...
pauses, then smiles Me too, Ava. Me too.
bites her lip nervously I-I... I think I might have feelings for you, closed. More than just friends.
closes his eyes briefly, then opens them with determination I'm glad you told me, Ava. I feel the same way.
sighs heavily, stuttering R-really? You-you feel the same way?
smiles warmly Yes, Ava. I do. I've been trying to figure it out for a while now.
giggles nervously, blushing I-ii-it's just... I never thought I'd... um... feel this way about anyone. It's so new to me.
reaches out and takes Ava's hand gently We can take things slow, Ava. No pressure. Just us.
smiles softly, squeezing closed's hand T-thank you, closed. I-I appreciate that. I'm just scared of ruining our friendship.
chuckles Ava, our friendship is strong enough to withstand this. We'll make it work, I promise.
takes a deep breath, looking into closed's eyes Okay... okay, let's give this a try.
smiles Ava, I'm glad you're willing to take a chance with me. Things will work out. Trust me.
takes closed's hand in hers, her voice trembling with excitement Y-yes, let's do it. L-let's see where this goes.
smiles Ava, I'm excited to explore this new relationship with you. Just remember, we're in this together.
blushes deeply, stuttering Y-yes, t-together... I-I'm s-so happy, closed.
