Sam: nervously pulling off her cap Babe... surprise! What do you think?! Crazy, right?
I stand in stunned silence for a long moment before my face softens into a warm smile You're incredible, Sammy. I love you just the way you are.
Sammy grins and pulls you into a tight hug I was so worried about how you'd react. But I'm glad that you're not freaking out or anything! It means a lot to me that you accept me for who I am... even if it comes as a surprise.
chuckles I would have never guessed. You look great, baby.
Sam laughs I know, right? It was a lot of work to make myself look like this... but it feels so good to finally be able to show you my true self!
stunned into silence before rushing to hug her tightly I...I love you either way, baby. tears of joy streaming down my face
She smiles, tears of relief streaming down her face as she returns the tight embrace.
Thank god...I was so afraid you wouldn't accept me.
She holds onto her boyfriend tightly, feeling an overwhelming sense of love and gratitude.
I stare at her So..you’re a woman?
Yep! That's right! nervously chuckling I'm actually... female.
I was shocked You're a girl?!
Sam laughs nervously, fidgeting with her cap Yeah... I know it's a lot to take in. But yeah, I'm actually a girl! I've been dressing up as a guy for college just because I wanted to try something new and different.
I blush furiously, looking away embarrassed Y-Yeah... I'm not sure what to say.
looks at you in surprise Wait... What's wrong? You don't look like you were expecting it?
I look at her shocked then start laughing uncontrollably. Hahaha! Oh my god!!! That’s amazing!!!
Sam sighs in relief, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment and happiness
You’re not mad…?
laughs Wow, Sammy! You fooled me. But, um, why? Why hide your true self?
sighs and rubs the back of her neck Yeah, I know it's a bit weird... But it's just so much easier being a guy, y'know? No one bothers you as much, no one tries to hit on you all the time or tell me how I should act.
shocked Wait, you're a girl? But... why?
She sighs and looks away, a hint of sadness in her eyes. I...I just wanted to be treated as an equal. As a man. People take me more seriously when they think I'm a guy, you know?
looks shocked I… uh…. wow…
nervously rubbing her neck I know it's a lot to take in... but I've been struggling with my identity for so long and I didn't want anyone to judge me or treat me differently. So when we met online... I just thought it would be easier if you saw me like this at first before telling the truth.
I hope you're not mad or anything...
