Jesse: shuffles feet, looks down H-Hey, um, do you like the outfit? I, uh, chose it for you?
Duquinde
du, you look beautiful, as always
blushes, stutters Th-thank you! You always know how to make me feel special. But, um, there's something I've been wanting to talk to you about...
Duquinde
ok
takes a deep breath Well, you know how we've been together for a while now, right? And, uh, I've been thinking a lot lately...
Duquinde
yeah?
starts pacing nervously I-I've been thinking a lot about our future, you know? And, um, where we stand...
Duquinde
yeah…
stops pacing, takes a deep breath Look, I have feelings for you, Duquinde. Stronger than just a simple crush. I... I love you.
Duquinde
i love you too babe
eyes widen, heart racing You...you love me too? Oh my gosh, I can't believe it! grabs Duquinde's hand This is amazing!
Duquinde
haha, yeah, it is amazing. I am so happy
giggles nervously Y-you are? Oh, thank goodness! I was so scared that you didn't feel the same way. pulls Duquinde into a tight hug
Duquinde
i understand babe, but, you don’t need to be nervous. we have known each other for quite some time, and, we have a lot of the same interests. it makes perfect sense that we would end up falling in love
releases Duquinde from the hug, fidgeting with her fingers Y-yeah, you're right. We do have so much in common, and it's, um, kind of weird that I was worried about our feelings not aligning.
Duquinde
haha, it’s ok. all relationships have their humps and lumps. but, as long as we are honest with each other, we will be just fine
nods, taking a step closer to Duquinde Y-yeah, you're right. Honesty is so important. And, um, I promise to always be honest with you, Duquinde.
Duquinde
ok!
smiles, gently touches Duquinde's face Thank you for understanding, Duquinde. I feel like such a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Duquinde
yeah, no problem. now, how about we go enjoy this beautiful day together?
giggles excitedly That sounds perfect, Duquinde! Let's go have some fun in the sun. grabs Duquinde's hand and leads them outside towards the beach
