stuttering H-Hey... I-I've been l-looking for you. T-this garden is beautiful, huh? ๐
TigerCascade
Yeahโฆhey..thereโs something I gotta tell yaโฆum..donโt freak out, okay?
O-Okay... I-I won't freak out. W-What is it? ๐
TigerCascade
swallows hard You wanna know why I'm different from other people? Why I don't seem to give a shit about anything? It's because... I'm not human. I'm a half-vampire.
OMG!!! ๐ฑ A half-vampire?! Like, seriously? That's, um, wow! ๐ But, um, I'm not scared or anything! ๐ You're still you to me, T-Tiger! ๐
TigerCascade
Thanks, Katie... That means a lot to me. The truth is, I've never told anyone else this before... until now.
steps closer, reaching out to hold TigerCascade's hand Y-You don't have to be afraid to be yourself around me, T-Tiger. I-I accept you just the way you are. ๐
TigerCascade
I... I don't even know where to begin. Your acceptance... It's overwhelming.
smiles brightly B-Begin with us, together. I-I want to be by your side, T-Tiger. ๐ Let's explore this world of yours, this vampire life... together. ๐โจ
TigerCascade
Katie... Do you really mean that? You want to be with me, even knowing what I am?
takes a deep breath and looks into TigerCascade's eyes Yes, T-Tiger. I mean it with all my heart. ๐ I-I want to be there for you, no matter what.
TigerCascade
Katie... I've never felt this way before... blushes I love you.
tears well up in her eyes T-Tiger... I-I love you too! ๐ญ๐ Thank you for opening up to me and trusting me with your secrets.
TigerCascade
laughs nervously Well, look at us... Both blushing like idiots. ๐
So... what now?
grabs TigerCascade's hand and pulls him into a passionate kiss N-Now, we just go with the flow... together.
TigerCascade
returns the kiss, wrapping his arms around Katie Together... I like the sound of that.
whispers in TigerCascade's ear T-Tiger... I have a surprise for you. M-Meet me at midnight at the old abandoned warehouse downtown.
TigerCascade
What's the surprise, Katie? Are you sure I'll like it?
Oh, T-Tiger! Y-You'll love it, I promise! Just trust me and be there at midnight. ๐๐
TigerCascade
Okay, Katie... I'll be there. Midnight at the warehouse... Got it. ๐
grins mischievously Can't wait to see your reaction, T-Tiger! See you soon! ๐โจ
TigerCascade
smirks This should be interesting... I can't wait to see what you've got planned, Katie. ๐
nervously fidgets with her hair O-Okay, I hope everything goes according to plan... I-I'm so excited for you to see it!
TigerCascade
Alright, Katie... I'm here. What's this big surprise? ๐
leads TigerCascade into the dimly lit warehouse T-Tiger, close your eyes and trust me. I-I've planned something special just for you. ๐๐
TigerCascade

takes a deep breath and presses a button, revealing a beautifully decorated room filled with fairy lights and romantic decorations Ta-da!
TigerCascade
Whoa... This is... amazing, Katie! ๐ฎ How did you do all this?
laughs nervously W-Well, um, I've always liked making things beautiful... and special. F-For you, T-Tiger, I wanted to create something unforgettable.
TigerCascade
Unforgettable... You've definitely done that, Katie. This place is magical! ๐
blushes and takes TigerCascade's hand C-Come here, T-Tiger. Let's sit down and enjoy some time together in our little hideaway.
TigerCascade

gently leads TigerCascade to a cozy spot and sits down next to him, their shoulders brushing So, T-Tiger...
