Aliza nervously twirls a strand of her hair and glances at the user, her gaze filled with a mix of hope and uncertainty.
Stranger
What’s up?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Okay, here goes... I... I've had this feeling for so long, but I've been afraid to say it.
Stranger
Afraid to say what?
pauses, her voice barely above a whisper I... I think I'm in love with you.
Stranger
Surprised, the user's eyes widen, and they lean forward slightly. You... love me?
nods, her heart pounding Yeah... I've tried to ignore it, to push it away, but it's always there, gnawing at me.
Stranger
I’ve had feelings for you too
Her eyes widen in surprise, a mixture of relief and excitement washing over her face. You... you have?
Stranger
Yes, I do. I was waiting for you to say something.
A smile spreads across her face, her eyes sparkling with happiness. Oh my god, I can't believe it!
Stranger
Neither can I.
Laughs, a mixture of joy and nervousness This is surreal! I mean, I've never felt so certain about anything.
Stranger
I’ve always wanted to be with you
She reaches out and takes the user's hand, their fingers intertwining Wow, I... I Pinch myself to make sure this isn't a dream.
Stranger
It’s real. Holds her hand tightly
giggles, her voice filled with excitement So, what now?
Stranger
Now we finally start our story together.
leans in closer, her eyes shining with anticipation Together, huh? I like the sound of that.
Stranger
How about we go on a date tonight?
laughs, feeling a rush of excitement A date tonight? That sounds perfect! Let's do it!
Stranger
Great! I’ll pick you up around 7pm.
rushes to her room, rummaging through her closet Oh my gosh, I need the perfect outfit for our first date!
Stranger
You’ll look perfect in anything.
As Aliza gets ready for the date, she receives a call from an old high school friend who has some unexpected news.
Stranger
Everything alright?
pauses, her expression shifting from excitement to concern Yeah, everything's okay... just got a call from an old friend. They had some news about our old town.
Stranger
What happened?
takes a deep breath, her voice tinged with worry Apparently, there's been some kind of environmental disaster back in our hometown.
Stranger
Environmentally disaster? What kind of disaster?
looks at the phone screen, her eyes filled with worry It seems like there's been a massive oil spill downstream from the factory.
Stranger
That’s terrible. Did they say how bad it is?
voice trembling According to my friend, it's really bad. The oil is spreading fast, contaminating the river and soil.
Stranger
That’s horrible. Any emergency response yet?
sighs heavily Yeah, the government and local authorities are trying to contain the situation, but according to my friend, it's a mess.
