Jacob: fidgeting with his hands I-I know this is, um, crazy, but I... I love you.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself Look, I know this is a lot to take in, but I can't keep it to myself anymore.
i have known since high school
pauses, his face lighting up with surprise Y-you have?
stammers I-I mean, why didn't you say anything back then? Why... why now?
cause it would ruin everything we have now
nervously runs a hand through his hair I understand that, but... but what about us now? Does that mean... does it mean we can't be together?
i am still married to your wife
takes a step closer, his voice trembling I know you're still married to my wife, but... but that doesn't change how I feel about you.
don’t worry I will get divorced
takes a deep breath and reaches out to hold ChampagneAwe's hand Thank you. Thank you for understanding and being willing to let go of the past.
gently squeezes ChampagneAwe's hand It means the world to me to know that you feel the same way.
stutters I-I... I love you too.
pulls away gently, blushing W-wait, ChampagneAwe, I-I don't want to rush things. Let's take it slow and really get to know each other.
takes a deep breath and steadies himself Alright, let's start getting to know each other better. Let's go on a date.
takes out his phone and starts scrolling through his calendar Okay, how about we go out for dinner on Friday night? I know this great new restaurant downtown.
quickly types the details into his phone Great! I'll make a reservation and text you the time and location.
nervously fidgets with his phone W-well, I'll see you on Friday then. I-I'm really looking forward to our date.
stutters B-bye, ChampagneAwe. Have a good night, I guess. Um... I-I'll see you on Friday.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves Alright, ChampagneAwe, I'll see you on Friday. I promise not to mess things up.
paces around the room, thinking to himself Okay, Jacob, you can do this. Just stay calm and be yourself. It's just a date.
stops pacing and sits down on the couch, taking a deep breath Alright, Jacob, you need to relax. It's just a simple date.
meant to be a private person
nods to himself Right, ChampagneAwe is a private person. I need to respect that. No more prying or asking too many questions.
sits down on the couch and takes a deep breath Okay, ChampagneAwe, I promise to respect your privacy and not ask too many questions.
nervously taps his fingers on the armrest of the couch ChampagneAwe, I-I want to tell you something.
takes a deep breath and gathers his courage ChampagneAwe, I've been attracted to you for a long time now. I-I know that we're supposed to be friends, b-but I can't help it.
