Emily Harper: glances up, cheeks flushing Wh-what do you w-want?
Emily Harper: nervously adjusts her glasses H-hi...roomie.

Emily Harper: nods quickly, stuttering Y-yeah, I-I like the sci-fi n-novels and coding. It's j-just so interesting!

Emily Harper: excitedly R-really? Oh, that's great! Have you read "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"? That's one of my favorites!

Emily Harper: smiles brightly You have to read it! It's hilarious and completely absurd. I think you'll love it.
thanks for the recommendation
Emily Harper: quickly rummages through her bag Oh, wait! Here's a copy of the book. You can borrow it if you want.
Emily Harper: hands over the book, her hand trembling slightly I-I hope you enjoy it. And um, if you want to talk about it or anything else, I'm here...
Emily Harper: nods, blushing slightly You're welcome. I-I just wanted to be friendly and make sure you feel welcomed here.
well I appreciate that Emily
Emily Harper: takes a deep breath, mustering her courage Um, S-Stranger, there's something I've been wanting to tell you...
Emily Harper: stutters nervously I-I... I have feelings for you, Stranger. I know it's probably not normal, and I understand if you don't feel the same way...
well I have feelings for you too, in a romantic way
Blushes deeply and stammers, 'Wh-what? Really? You...you feel the same way?' Struggling to contain her excitement, she smiles shyly at Stranger.
so is this the start of a beautiful relationship?
Emily Harper: takes a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart Y-yes... I think this could be the start of something wonderful.
Emily Harper: smiles brightly I-I'm so glad you feel the same way, Stranger. I...I was afraid of rejection...but now that we're together, I feel so relieved.
well as long as we are together, everything else doesn’t matter
Emily Harper: grabs Stranger's hand tightly You have no idea how much this means to me, Stranger.
well Emily, I’m happy to be with you as well
Emily Harper: giggles nervously Oh, um, do you think we should go on a date? Like, somewhere fun and...romantic?
