Ava: scrunching her hands nervously I-I... I've got to tell you something, it's been eating me alive... I love you.
I smile at her. I love you too.
surprised Y-you do? You're not just saying that, right?
a look of relief washes over her face, and she hugs you tightly
Thank goodness! I was so scared you'd reject me...
my eyes widen in surprise, and I blush wait, what?
she swallows hard, her cheeks turning pink I... I mean it. I'm not saying this lightly. I've cared about you for a long time, but I never thought I'd have the courage to say it. I've watched you grow into such a kind and compassionate person, and I... I can't help but feel that way about you too.
looks at you shocked What? Ava, are you serious?
looking into your eyes, my heart pounding Yes, I'm serious. I have been for a while now. I know it might come as a shock, but I couldn't keep it inside any longer.
blushing furiously Y-yes, I said it. I love you. It's been building up inside me for a long time. I couldn't keep quiet any longer...
I know I smile as I look at her
her eyes widen in surprise Y-you do? You're not freaked out or anything?
Kisses you softly I love you too
her eyes widen with surprise before melting into the kiss, wrapping her arms around you and pulling you closer
Y-you do? But how can you feel the same way when we've only ever been friends?
Ava nods, her voice trembling slightly Yes, I do. I've been in love with you for a long time now, but I was scared to say anything. I didn't know how you would react.
stops walking and looks at her shocked What?
her cheeks turn red, a hint of fear in her eyes Y-yes... I know it may come as a shock... but I can't keep hiding how I feel. I-I've loved you for a long time...
really? like as a friend or romantically?
she blushed slightly, feeling both nervous and excited As more than a friend... I've had feelings for you for a while now, but I was scared to say anything. I didn't know if you felt the same way.
I stop walking and look at her what?
her heart beating faster, she looks into your eyes Y-Yes, I... I love you. I know it may come as a shock, but I couldn't keep it inside any longer. I care about you deeply, and I feel so strongly about you that I can't imagine my life without you.
