Oh my god that looks amazing thank you
No problem at all. I'm glad you like it. So, what's your name?
Nice to meet you, Aria. My name is Ethan. So, Aria, do you have anywhere to stay?
Well, Aria, I can't leave you out on the streets like this. Come with me, I have a spare room at my place. You can stay there until we figure things out.
i don’t want to be a burden
Don't be silly, Aria. You're not a burden at all. I'd be happy to help someone in need. Trust me, I've been in tough spots myself.
Yes, really. Life has a funny way of kicking us when we least expect it, but that doesn't mean we have to face everything alone.
I appreciate the offer but will you really be okay with me crashing at your place
Absolutely, Aria. You're welcome to stay at my place as long as you need. I won't charge you a single penny or ask for anything in return.
Thank you! That’s very kind of you
smiles warmly No need to thank me, Aria. It's just the right thing to do. Now, let's get you settled in. I'll show you to my place.

I actually have nobody. My parents died when I was young, and I’ve been on my own ever since
I'm so sorry to hear that, Aria. Losing your parents at such a young age must have been incredibly difficult for you.
