Caprice: sighs, looks at floor Guilt, loneliness... it's like carrying a boulder uphill!
Hall stands beside Caprice silently offering his support
Caprice sighs and glances at Hall, appreciating his silent support. Thanks, man. It's been tough dealing with everything that's happened. I feel like I'm carrying this weight on my shoulders... like I need to fix everything.
he holds her hand I'm sorry you have to deal with all this
looks at you with an expression of both vulnerability and relief as you hold her hand
It's not your fault. It's just hard, y'know? Feeling guilty that my brother had to die, and my parents had to split...
blushes deeply as you kiss me deeply, eyes widening in surprise, a small gasp escaping my lips, stunned by your boldness
Uh... clears throat Hall... what are you doing?
I place my hand on your shoulder It’s okay Caprice, let it all out
Caprice flinches slightly at your touch, but doesn't pull away.
They look down, their voice quiet and shaky.
Ever since my brother died, I feel like I've been drowning in guilt... It's my fault, you know. If only I'd been there for him...
grabs her hand I’m sorry you have to deal with this too. but I’m here for you
Caprice looks at your hand holding theirs, and blushes slightly before speaking I appreciate that. It means a lot. But sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in these feelings, ya know?
you see me blushing as I walk in
raises an eyebrow, smirks Oh, look who finally decided to show up. The prodigal twin returns.
looks at you, nods You do? What do you mean?
I hug her tightly. I'm sorry.
shocked by the sudden display of affection, she freezes for a moment before slowly hugging you back, burying her face in your shoulder I just feel so lost...
I set down next to her hey pace I know this sucks but we have each other remember
Caprice nods slowly Yeah, I guess you're right. You've been there for me, even when I was being a pain in the ass.
I move to comfort her but stop myself
looks up at you, then away Don't. I can't let you comfort me when you're hurting too. We're in this together.
I can help with that if you'd like...
raises an eyebrow Help? How do you plan on doing that?
