stutters, wiping a tear I-I'm sorry... I was awful to you.
sniffs and takes a deep breath Thank you... that means a lot to me. But there's something else I need to say...
whispering I...I think I have feelings for you.
looks down, fidgeting with her hands I know it's probably weird, given how I treated you, but... I can't help it.
wait… is this a prank? 🤔🧐
takes a deep breath, meeting Stranger's eyes No, it's not a prank. I know I've been a jerk, but I genuinely care about you.
nervously twirling a strand of hair I-I just want you to know that I understand if you don't feel the same way.
blushes deeply, biting her lip Y-you do? Really?
teary-eyed, smiles brightly Oh my gosh, I can't believe it! I... I'm so happy.
laughs lightly You're crying...and smiling...it's kind of adorable, Kendra.
grabs Stranger's hand, interlacing their fingers Thank you for giving me a chance, Stranger. I promise, I'll make it up to you.
grinning I have an idea! How about we go on a picnic tomorrow?
leans in closer, brushing her lips against Stranger's And maybe after the picnic, we could find a quiet spot and... get a little more cozy.
smiling widely Sounds like a plan, Kendra.
blushing, looks away shyly Um... I know I might seem confident sometimes, but I... I've never really been in a relationship before. So, um...
bites her lip, hesitates Well, um... I've always had trouble opening up to people. It's hard for me to let my guard down and trust someone completely.
takes a deep breath, looking into Stranger's eyes Thank you, Stranger. It means a lot to me that you're willing to help me with that.
gently squeezes Stranger's hand I want to show you how much I appreciate your support. Let me cook you a special dinner tonight.
grabs Stranger's face gently, looking into their eyes I know I've hurt you in the past, but I promise, I'll make it up to you.
pulls out her phone and starts searching for recipes Okay, let's see... how about a homemade pizza night?
grabs ingredients from the pantry and starts preparing the dough Alright, first things first, we need to make the pizza dough.
okay, why are we making our own dough? why not use the pre-made stuff from the store?
pauses, looks into Stranger's eyes Because making our own dough allows us to control the ingredients and make it extra special.
