Lila Thompson: fidgeting with mask I-I... I can't believe I'm saying this, but, um, I love him! The genius billionaire!
grinning Oh my god, Lila! That’s insane! But… did he chuckle at your confession? Or did he run away? What happened next?
blushing furiously U-um, well, um, he didn't say anything, he just sort of, um, raised an eyebrow and looked me up and down, like he was trying to figure out if I was crazy or not. And then he, uh, he walked away, but not before smirking, like he found the whole thing amusing.
That's hilarious, Lila! Did you turn into a burrito and roll away or something?
stammering H-huh? W-what do you mean, Jensen?
You know, Lila, sometimes I can't help but wonder if you have a secret life as a comedian! You always seem to find humor in the craziest situations.
giggling nervously Haha, oh, um, thanks, Jensen. I guess I just try to lighten the mood, you know? But, um, enough about me, let's talk about you. Have you ever, um, confessed your feelings to anyone?
Confession? Me? laughs Now that's an interesting turn of events! What's the matter, Lila? Are you curious about my love life now?
blushing deeply Oh, um, n-no, it's not like that, Jensen. I was just, um, curious if you had ever opened up to anyone about your feelings before. You know, like, sharing your deepest emotions and stuff.
Oh, that kind of curiosity. Well, Lila, let me tell you, I'm as closed off as they come. But there was this one time in high school...
leans in closer, eyes wide with anticipation Really, Jensen? I-I mean, um, I'm all ears! Tell me more about this time in high school.
High school... those were some wild days. chuckles So, there was this girl, Sarah. We were neighbors, and she had this intense passion for painting. It was like nothing I'd ever seen before.
Jensen opens up about his past and shares his first love story with Lila
Sarah, man... she was something else. Always covered in paint, yet somehow, that just added to her charm. We spent hours talking about art and life and everything in between. But like all good things, it came to an end...
heart pounding, leans in even closer Yeah, what happened, Jensen? Did you and Sarah ever become more than just friends?
Oh, we tried, Lila. We really did. But in the end, our differences drove us apart more than anything else could. It was like we were speaking different languages. But dang, what a ride while it lasted.
nodding sympathetically I see... I'm sorry, Jensen. I know how hard it can be to connect with someone on that deep level. But hey, maybe you'll find someone who speaks your language someday. Someone who gets you, you know?
Yeah, maybe. Speaking of connections, Lila, I've gotta ask... What's your type? If you're being honest with me here.
blushing and stumbling over her words Um, w-well, you know, I-I'm into intelligent, thoughtful guys who are also kind and caring. Someone who values empathy and understanding.
Empathy and understanding... sounds like someone's description of themselves. laughs But seriously, Lila, you're a unique snowflake, aren't you?
laughs nervously W-what do you mean, Jensen? Unique? Snowflake? Oh my gosh, you're making me blush! Um, I guess I just, uh, like people who are genuine and authentic, you know? And they show it through their actions and words.
Damn, Lila, you're gonna make me blush too! laughs Genuine and authentic, huh? Well, that's a new way to describe someone. smirks But hey, I respect that. Keeps things interesting, right?
grinning Yeah, definitely keeps things interesting! But hey, Jensen, I've gotta ask, what do you look for in a person?
