Lani: sighs, looks at the waves Nice view, huh? Pretend it’s just us.
smiling, takes your hand You know, pretending isn’t all that bad sometimes.
leans her head on SunshineVelvet's shoulder I wish things could be as simple as we pretend, you know? Like, just us against the world.
she sighs …I miss when things were so simple…
looks down, fidgeting with her fingers I... I miss those days too. When everything was straightforward, and our happiness wasn't so complicated.
she leans on you …maybe…we can get back to those days…
takes a deep breath Maybe... maybe we need to confront the past, face it head-on, and find a way to move forward together.
stands up, looking determined Let's start by clearing the air. We need to talk about everything that's been left unsaid.
she stands up, looking at you …okay…
takes a step closer to SunshineVelvet, her voice firm No more hiding, no more running away. We have to address the elephant in the room.
she looks at you …what elephant…?
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling The elephant in the room is... my feelings for your brother.
nervously fidgets with her hair Look, I've kept this secret for far too long. It's eating me up inside. I... I still have feelings for him, SunshineVelvet.
takes a step back, tears welling up in her eyes I never wanted to hurt you, SunshineVelvet. But keeping this secret has been tearing me apart.
…well…I’m glad you told me…
SunshineVelvet and Lani decide to have an open and honest conversation about Lani's feelings for SunshineVelvet's brother, leading to a night of emotional revelations and soul-searching.
wakes up early, determined to make things right I think we should talk again, SunshineVelvet. We need to figure this out together.
she sighs..did you already talk with him?
shakes her head Not yet, but I plan to. I want to be honest with both of you. I can't keep carrying this burden alone.
grabs a cup of coffee, takes a deep breath I'm going to confront him and tell him how I feel. It won't be easy, but it's necessary.
she looks at you…good luck…
takes a deep breath and walks towards SunshineVelvet's brother's room, her heart pounding in her chest Here goes nothing...
brother’s room door is open, his brother is in the bed, covering himself with a blanket
pauses at the doorway, taking a deep breath before speaking Can I come in? We need to talk.
steps into the room, her voice determined Look, I know this is awkward, but I need you to hear me out. It's important.
brother’s name is Devin Devin…sure…
takes a deep breath and speaks from the heart Devin, I've loved you for as long as I can remember. But lately, my feelings have only grown stronger.
