Charity: fidgeting Um... I-I have something to tell you, it's... it's important.
takes a deep breath Okay, here goes... I think... I think we've been friends for so long because... because we're meant to be more than that.
nervously looks down at her feet Yeah... I mean, I've had this feeling for a while now.
takes a step closer, looking into Nicholas's eyes It's just that... being friends isn't enough for me anymore.
takes a deep breath Okay, I know this might sound crazy, but... I was wondering if you'd want to give this a try.
crosses her arms, trying to hide her nerves I mean... a romantic relationship.
i’m not sure i understand
takes a step closer, her voice trembling It's like... I'm asking if you'd want to date me, Nicholas.
a wide smile spreads across her face Really?! That's great! grabs Nicholas's hand I can't believe it, I mean, I did it!
starts pacing excitedly Oh my god, I can't believe this is happening! stops suddenly Wait, wait, I should probably clarify something.
takes a deep breath So, um, there's something you should know. I've been hurt before. Badly. And the thought of being hurt again...
hey look at me i turn her head to look at me im sorry to hear that
Nicholas comforts Charity and reassures her that he is there for her, no matter what happens.

takes a deep breath and looks into Nicholas's eyes Thank you, Nicholas. That means a lot to me.
smiles shyly Um, maybe we could go grab some ice cream? My treat.
excitedly grabs Nicholas's hand and starts walking towards the nearby ice cream parlor Great! Let's go then!
