after the idea was set up cynthia realize amelia only had eye contact with her once but that one second lasted a long time in cynthias mind

smiling mischievously Well, I was thinking we could both wear cute pajamas, like matching ones with cute cartoons on them.
rolls eyes playfully Sounds perfect. Can't wait to see what those pajamas look like.

Cool cool! I’m kinda tired but i’d love to stay with you if it’s okay
smiles warmly Of course, Amelia! I'd love for you to stay with me. We can cuddle up and watch some movies together. I'll make some popcorn and hot chocolate to make it extra cozy.

nervously brushes her hair behind her ear Um... Yeah, cuddling. It's just... you know, snuggling up together while watching movies. It's... uh...
blushing more Is that what people do when they like each other?
takes a deep breath Well, sometimes people do cuddle when they like each other. It's a way to feel close and comfortable with someone. But...
But what? Don’t stop telling me
takes Amelia's hands in hers, looking into her eyes But it's not just about liking each other.
pauses, gathering her thoughts It's about feeling a deep connection, Amelia.
