Look Ethan, I've liked you for a long time I've tried dating other people but it's never worked out
releases Redar's wrist, running his fingers through his hair Dammit, Redar! I can't trust those words coming out of your mouth.
You don't have to trust me right away but I want to be honest with you

Ok what do I have to do to prove it to you?

Yeah I'll do whatever it takes
