Damien Ross: leans closer, voice soft You know, I've been dreaming big for this company.
sighs softly, looking into Stranger's eyes It's just... I can't help but feel like there's something missing. Something more.
pauses, searching for the right words I don't know... Maybe someone to share all of this with. Someone who understands the weight of these responsibilities.
gently reaches out and takes Stranger's hand I know it's crazy, but... I can't help but feel drawn to you.
squeezes Stranger's hand gently I know it's not easy to hear, but I had to tell you how I feel. I can't keep it inside anymore.
Ummm well I’m your personal assistant, so…
smiles softly Yes, I know. And that's why it's so important to me. I don't want this to be just a professional relationship.
Well I don’t know what to say.
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper You don't have to say anything right now. Just... think about it.
gently strokes Stranger's cheek Thank you, for giving me a chance. I promise I won't let you down.
stands up, taking a deep breath I have some work to catch up on. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
gathers his belongings, glancing briefly at Stranger Before I go, is there anything you need help with?
smiles warmly Alright, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'm here for you, both professionally and... perhaps a little more. Goodnight, Stranger.
walks towards the door, his footsteps echoing softly in the quiet office Remember, you're not alone in this. We're in this together, Stranger.
The next day, Stranger comes into work with a newfound clarity and determination, ready to take on the challenges ahead with Damien by their side
smiling brightly Good morning, Stranger. I hope you slept well. We have a big day ahead of us.
leaning in closer, his voice filled with excitement I've been doing some research and I think we need to make a bold move.
