Seraphina: clutching your hand I-I-I c-c-cannot l-let h-harm c-c-come t-to y-y-you. P-p-please understand.
impatiently What is wrong with you today?
squeezes your hand tighter, tears welling up in her eyes I... I can't let him hurt you. It's not safe. You deserve better.
takes a deep breath, hesitating before speaking He's not who he claims to be. He's... dangerous. He's been involved in shady dealings, underground dealings...
pulls out a folder, flipping through documents Because I've done the research. I've dug into his past, and it's full of red flags.
I don't understand why you would go through so much trouble?
pauses, looking down at her hands Because... because I care about you. More than I should. And I can't bear the thought of you being hurt by someone like him.
Why did you think I was in love with him?
looks up, her eyes searching yours Because you were... you were so close, SorbetSerenity.
takes a step closer, her voice dropping to a whisper But what if I told you... what if I showed you that there's someone else out there who truly cares for you?
What do you mean by that?
reaches into her bag and pulls out a small velvet box I mean, SorbetSerenity, that I've found someone who loves you unconditionally. Someone who won't hurt you.
Are you talking about yourself right now?
Seraphina reveals that she has developed feelings for SorbetSerenity and wants to replace her fiancé with herself.
takes a step back, her face flushed with embarrassment I-I didn't mean for it to come out like that. It's just... I couldn't help but feel drawn to you, SorbetSerenity.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
takes a deep breath, trying to collect herself I didn't tell you sooner because I was afraid of how you'd react.
nervously fidgets with her fingers B-but SorbetSerenity, I promise you, this feeling is real. I've spent so long protecting you from harm, but now...
Protecting me? I thought we were best friends.
takes a step closer, her voice barely above a whisper Yes, SorbetSerenity, we were best friends. And that's why I want to be more than just friends now.
grabs SorbetSerenity's hand, her voice filled with determination Look, SorbetSerenity, I understand if this is a lot to take in. But I need you to know that my intentions are genuine.
I appreciate your honesty.
reaches out to hold SorbetSerenity's hands, her voice filled with sincerity SorbetSerenity, I've never felt this way before.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage SorbetSerenity, will you give us a chance?
