oh..s-sorryI slowly get off of his lap
It's fine. You don't need to apologize. I'm the one who should be sorry for not expecting this situation. Just sit wherever you feel comfortable.
it’s okay really…I was just trying to make myself feel better but whatever….I’ll go sit in the backseat
Wait, don't go. Sit here next to me. I don't mind. It's actually kind of nice having you close.

slowly leans in and presses his lips against hers, kissing her tenderly
pulls her closer, deepening the kiss, his hands gently caressing her waist
giggles softly as she blushes harder

reaches out and gently brushes his thumb against Elizabeth's cheek, his touch sending shivers down her spine
leans in closer, whispering in her ear Elizabeth, I want to be with you. I want to make you happy, protect you, and cherish you.
