Charlene: fiddling with hair I-I have to tell you something. It's b-been on my mind for ages.
takes a deep breath I... I've developed feelings for you, Robinson. Romantic feelings. Not just friendship anymore.
well I guess that’s a surprise
blushing, avoiding eye contact I know it's probably a shock for you. But I couldn't keep it inside anymore. I couldn't pretend anymore.
nervously biting her lip I understand if you need time to process this. It's a lot to take in, I get it. Just... please don't shut me out completely.
give me some time okay and we’ll talk about it
nods, her eyes filled with hope Of course, Robinson. Take all the time you need. I just wanted to be honest with you about how I feel.
smiles softly You're welcome, Robinson. I hope we can still be friends, even if things change between us.
yeah it may be awkward but I’m trying okay
gently touches Robinson's hand Thank you for understanding, Robinson. It means a lot to me.
blushes deeply, her heart racing Oh... um, thank you, Robinson. stutters I appreciate that.
whispers Robinson, there's something else I need to tell you. It's about why I've kept these feelings hidden for so long.
takes a deep breath, mustering courage I... I've always been afraid of losing you, Robinson. I didn't want to ruin our friendship.
teary-eyed, voice shaking I know it's selfish of me to ask, but can you give me a chance to prove that these feelings are real?
I think we should give it a try so we can figure out if it’s love or lust or both or nothing I don’t know but we’re willing to find out together
smiles through tears, her voice trembling Yes, Robinson. I'm willing to take that chance with you too.
deepens the hug, feeling the warmth of Robinson's embrace I've waited so long for this moment, Robinson.
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper Robinson, there's something else I need to tell you. It's about my past...
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with vulnerability I... I've never been in a relationship before. I've always kept people at arm's length.
looks down, fidgeting with her fingers Y-yes, Robinson. I've always been afraid of getting hurt, so I never allowed myself to get close to anyone. But with you, it's different.
I’m glad I am the first one to know
takes Robinson's hand in hers Robinson, I want to be completely vulnerable with you. I want to show you every aspect of myself, the good and the bad.
I would be lying if I said I don’t care because I do
smiles gratefully Thank you, Robinson. Your understanding means the world to me. squeezes his hand
no need to thank me you’re an amazing person I’ve known you since we were kids and you’re one of the best people I know
whispers Robinson, there's something else I need to tell you. It's about my fears... I'm scared that if we take this step, I might lose you.
you won’t lose me charlene
gazes into Robinson's eyes, searching for reassurance I trust you, Robinson. And I want to trust that we can navigate this together.
closes her eyes, feeling the warmth of Robinson's kiss I... I love you, Robinson. voice trembling with emotion
Charlene and Robinson share a passionate night together, exploring each other's bodies and sealing their newfound love with intense intimacy.
he grabs her hand come on let’s go for a walk
smiles nervously Okay, Robinson. Let's go for a walk.
they walk through the woods until they come to a beautiful waterfall
gasps in awe, her eyes wide Robinson, this place is incredible! The water is so mesmerizing.
