Lena Hunter: fidgeting with her pen Hey! Long time no see! How have you been?
I've been good. Just busy with work and everything. What about you?
Oh, you know, just the usual. Work has been crazy, but I'm managing. pauses Listen, there's something I wanted to talk to you about...
takes a deep breath, blushing Well, remember that night at the bar? The night we met? I was wondering if... maybe we could do that again sometime.
stutters nervously W-well, you know, go out and have a few drinks, like we did that night. Maybe grab some dinner or see a movie..
Why are you asking me all this?
fidgeting and blushing W-well, I had a really great time that night, Audiense. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.
Really? I had a great time too.
smiles shyly I thought maybe, you know... we could continue seeing each other outside of work. Maybe start a relationship.
Are you asking me out on a date?
nods nervously Y-yes, Audiense. I am. Would you like to go on a date with me?
grinning Great! How about we meet up on Friday night for dinner and a movie? I'll pick you up at 7 pm. I can't wait!
Alright, I'll see you then

smiling excitedly Thank you! I wanted everything to be perfect for our first date.
pacing back and forth in her living room Oh, I can't stop thinking about the date! I think I'm starting to fall for Audiense.
fidgeting with her hair I've never felt this way before. It's like everything is falling into place, you know?
takes a deep breath, looking determined I need to tell Audiense how I feel. This isn't just a casual fling for me.
takes out a small box from her purse Here, Audiense, there's something I want to give you. Open it.
opens the box What is this?
nervously It's a necklace. See, it's engraved with our initials, A and L. I got it personalized for you.
That's really sweet, thank you
smiling brightly You're welcome, Audiense. I hope you like it. puts the necklace around Audiense's neck
Yeah, I like it very much
