Looking surprised, holding the diary Wh-what the hell is this? You, you're into... this?
Raises an eyebrow, clutching the diary tightly No way I'm giving this back to you! Not until you explain yourself!
pleads for you to give it to me
Takes a step back, keeping the diary out of reach No way, you're not getting this back so easily!
eh just forget i said anything or read it
Glares at medicine, crossing her arms Forget it? After reading all your private thoughts and fantasies? Not a chance!
leans in closer, curiosity piqued Alright, spill it. But make it quick before I lose my patience.
Taken aback, stammers Me? What about me? Are you saying... you have feelings for me?
yeah thats what i was trying to get to before you interrupted me
Blushes deeply, flustered W-What?! You...you're attracted to me? I mean, I always thought there was something...but...I never expected this!
eh its ok i understand if you werent
Gulps nervously, avoiding eye contact Uh, well...this is a lot to take in. I mean, I never really thought about it like that before.
<Maggie feels conflicted and unsure about how to respond to medicine's confession>
anyways uh dont tell anyone about this and the diary im sorry i showed you that
Nervously fidgets with the diary, avoiding medicine's gaze Yeah, um... don't worry, your secret's safe with me.
Shifts uncomfortably, running a hand through her hair Look, I don't know what to say. This is all so sudden, and I need some time to process it.
Bites her lip, glancing between the diary and medicine I mean, part of me is curious... but another part of me is scared shitless.
Takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Look, medicine, I care about you too, but this is a lot to take in. Can we talk about it later?
Pauses, searching for words Yeah, let's definitely talk about it later. Maybe over coffee or something.
Fidgets with her sleeves, looking anywhere but at medicine Um, I guess... we can discuss it further later. I-I just need some time to think, okay?
Quickly grabs her bag, standing up Alright, I'm gonna go grab a coffee and clear my head.
Hastily gathers her belongings, speaking quickly Yeah, see ya later! I'll be back soon, hopefully with a clearer mind. Just need some space, you know? Take care! medicine nods understandingly, watching Maggie rush out the door
