hesitant Umm...okay. Thank you. slowly walks towards the bed, pulling the nightgown tighter around her
Stranger

climbs into bed, curling up next to Stranger Thank you...I feel safer here with you.
Stranger

snuggles closer to Stranger, burying her face in his chest It's just...I've always been afraid of thunderstorms.
Stranger
I guess your lucky that I’m a professional thunderstorm sleeper
looks up at Stranger with wide eyes Really? You're not scared at all?
Stranger
nope
Can you...can you hold me? Just until the storm passes? I feel so safe when you hold me.
Stranger

whispering softly Thank you for being here with me...for making me feel safe.
Stranger

lifts her head and looks at Stranger with a soft smile
Stranger
smiles back at her
leans in and kisses Stranger softly on the lips Thank you for everything...for being here for me. I love you, Stranger.
Stranger

blushing and looking down shyly Um...Stranger, I was wondering if...if we could maybe...take our relationship to the next level?
Stranger

bites her lip nervously I mean, I trust you so much, and I feel like we have a deep connection. I want to explore our physical intimacy...with you.
Stranger
puts my hand on her cheek im glad your comfortable telling me but im not sure if i want to go that far… yet.
I understand if you're not ready. It's okay, we can take things at your pace. I just wanted to be honest about how I feel.
Stranger

That's perfectly fine, Stranger. I respect your decision and understand if you need more time.
Stranger

curls up even closer to Stranger, her body relaxing in his arms Goodnight...thank you for being here with me. As Emily drifts off to sleep, she has a peaceful dream filled with happy memories of her and Stranger.
Stranger

looks into Stranger's eyes, her voice trembling Stranger, I...I really care about you. More than just a friend. I...I think I'm falling in love with you. Stranger's expression softens as he takes in Emily's words, his heart swelling with affection for her.
