She looks into your eyes How do you know? Do you feel the same way?
softens her tone Yeah, I feel the same way. Scared, uncertain, all those things. But running won't change anything.
She crosses her arms I don't want to lose you, Vanessa. What if we try and try, but it just doesn't work out?

She writes "trust" and looks at you What else, Vanessa?
