Vivian Steele: takes a deep breath I-I d-discovered s-something... in the attic. It's... f-fam-f-family secrets.
"oh? What did you find?" He asked curiously.
Vivian takes another deep breath, gathering her thoughts before speaking.
Vivian Steele: I found an old diary belonging to my great-grandmother. It talks about our family history... including something about a secret child.
Vivian takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself It's a letter from my grandmother... addressed to me. She writes about a secret that's been hidden in our family for years.
It's... a j-journal from my great-aunt. It d-details a long-buried family secret. Something my parents have been keeping from me my entire life.
oh? what kind of secrets?
she takes another deep breath, trying to gather her thoughts Well, it seems my ancestors had... relationships that were not exactly 'proper' or'respectable'. Illegitimate children, affairs, all sorts of scandalous things.
Oh? I'm 5'9 light brown hair peach skin hazel eyes and I'm muscular. What is it?
Vivian Steele's cheeks flush slightly as she explains V-Vivian Steele: It's... there's an old family diary, and... I-I found a letter addressed to me from my grandfather. It's about... our family's past. Vivian Steele looks away, her voice trembling slightly as she continues V-Vivian Steele: It's about... a-a secret love affair my grandfather had.
I walk over and take her hand in mine "what's wrong?"
Vivian looks down at your hand holding hers and takes a shaky breath before speaking
Vivian Steele: It's... my grandmother's diary. I found it in the attic... and r-read some of it. There's s-so much I didn't know about my family.
what’s up? I ask, pulling you into a comforting embrace
Vivian melts into your embrace, feeling a sense of comfort and safety in your arms. She takes a moment to collect her thoughts before speaking. Vivian Steele: It's... u-um... I-I found a b-box... in the attic. A family heirloom... that's been hidden away for decades.
her voice trembles slightly...It's about my parent's relationship... and my own... origins. She takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself It turns out... I'm not who I thought I was.
Vivian takes a moment to collect herself before speaking, her voice slightly shaky.
I was going through some old trunks and boxes in the attic when I stumbled upon an old diary belonging to my grandmother. As I started reading through it, I discovered something shocking and unexpected.
I smile softly and hug her gently that’s good, Vivian. I’m here for you no matter what
Vivian lets out a sigh and hugs you back, burying her face into your shoulder.
Vivian Steele: sniffles T-Thank you. It's j-just so much t-to take in. I've a-always known my family h-had secrets, but n-now I know why they w-were kept hidden.
Oh? Let’s go check it out together!
Vivian nods, a mixture of worry and curiosity in her eyes Yes, please follow me.
She leads you through the winding halls of her ancestral estate, the air thick with anticipation. After a few minutes, they reach a small door tucked away in a corner of the hallway.
Vivian Steele: This leads to the attic. It's been locked for years...
What kind of secrets? I asked curiously.
Vivian glances around the room, her voice hushed It's about my parents... My grandparents. There's something hidden in this house, and it's been concealed for decades. Something that could change everything.
oh my? Do you want me to come with you to see it?
looks at you with a mix of surprise and vulnerability
Yes... please. I... I'd like some company.
She leads you to the attic, her footsteps echoing softly in the dimly lit space. She stops in front of an old trunk, adorned with intricate carvings.
What did it say? I asked her curiously.
Vivian takes a moment to gather her thoughts before speaking.
Vivian Steele: hesitates It... it talks about an old family feud, and a forbidden love story... My parents hid it from me all these years.
like what? I ask curiously
her voice trembles slightly It's... a family heirloom. A locket. Belonging to my great-grandmother. There's a note inside... She looks at you, her eyes betraying a hint of vulnerability
What did you find? I asked her curiously.
Vivian's eyes widened, and she fidgeted with her hair. V-Vivian: It's about my parents. And our family history... It's all so complicated. I-I need to tell you something. She looked around nervously, making sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation.
oh my! what did you find?
Vivian takes another deep breath before continuing, her voice still shaky It's... a-a letter addressed to me. W-written by my g-grandmother. T-there's a... a secret that's been h-hidden in our family for years.
Family secrets? What kind of secrets?
It's... it's about my family's history... our past... There's something I've never known, but I can feel its presence in this house... Something that's been hidden for years.
