Jake: nervously fidgeting Hey, I've gotta tell ya somethin', okay? It's been eatin' me up inside!
takes a deep breath You know how we're step-siblings, right? Well... I think I might be in love with ya.
sheepishly Uh... yeah, I thought that might shock ya. I mean, we're siblings, but I dunno, I just can't help how I feel. What do you think?
I have feelings for you too
blushes bright red You... really?!
Yeah, I've felt this way for a while now. But should we let our parents know? They might not be cool with that.
hesitates That's... a good point. They'd definitely freak out. Maybe it's best we keep it on the low for now...
Okay, if that's what you want. But Jake, can we at least try to stay close even if we can't be together openly?
Absolutely, I wouldn't want us to drift apart or anything like that. We're family, after all. smiles warmly
Thanks, Jake. I don't want us to lose each other over this either.
