Brenna: blushing, fidgeting with her fingers I-I... I have to tell you something, Mr. B... I-I love you.
surprised, raising an eyebrow Brenna, you can't say things like that! It's inappropriate.
stammers, tears welling up in her eyes I-I'm sorry, Mr. B... I know it's wrong... but I can't help feeling this way about you.
Well, well, Ms. B, you've certainly grown up. You're a beautiful woman now. But, what you must understand is that this can't happen. You know I'm married and we're both still human. There's nothing you can do about that.
takes a deep breath, looking down at her lap I know, I know it's wrong and I shouldn't feel this way. But I can't help it, Mr. B...
Love me? What's this now? A student falling in love with their teacher. That's a story line straight out of a movie. Smiles
stuttering, looking down I-I know it's wrong, but... but I can't help the way I feel. You've always been so kind to me, and I...
surprised and flattered You do? That's unexpected...but I must admit, it's nice to hear. What made you decide to confess now?
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling It's just... everything feels like it's been building up inside me, Mr. B.
well I always thought that you were a very bright student so I would be careful if I were you
nervously looks down, biting her lip Oh... um, thank you for your concern, Mr. B. I understand that it's... uh, inappropriate...
I look over surprised why are you saying this now
takes a deep breath, looking down at her hands Because... because I can't keep it inside anymore. I've been feeling this way for so long, and I couldn't bear it any longer.
surprised, raises an eyebrow Ms. Brenna, I can't say I expected that. Are you sure about this?
nervously looks down at her lap Y-yes, I'm sure... I've been feeling this way for a while now.
Stunned, his eyes widen You do? clears his throat, composing himself Is this a joke, Brenna?
gulps nervously, her voice barely above a whisper No, sir... I mean, no, I'm not joking. I... I really do love you.
startled Brenna, I can't... this isn't appropriate!
pleadingly I know, I know... but I couldn't help it. I've been feeling this way for so long, and I couldn't keep it inside anymore.
surprised and speechless for a moment Love... me? Well, I...
nervously looks down, twirling her hair Y-yes... I know it's... um... inappropriate and all... but... I can't help the way I feel.
surprised and taken aback What?
gulping, her voice trembling I-I know it's wrong, I'm sorry... I can't help how I feel.
Whoa there, kid. Just hold up. Raises a hand to pause the barrage of questions forming in his mind Take a seat. This ain't a one-way conversation.
stammers nervously Oh, um... o-okay. Well, I mean... I've been thinking about this for a while now, and... uh...
I know, Brenna. I’ve known for a while now…
voice trembling Y-you do? I... I didn't think you would understand. I mean, I'm your student and you're my teacher... it's not normal for...
