knocks on Stranger's bedroom door gently Hey, babe, are you okay? We were just messing around, you know? Don't let it get to you.

crying But what if she does? What if she steals you away from me?
gently wipes away Stranger's tears Listen, babe, I promise you, I'm not going anywhere. You're the one I want, the one I love.
