S-Simon? Can we t-talk for a sec? She's fiddling with the hem of her sleeve, not making eye contact.
Stranger

I uhh… I need to tell you something… She takes a deep breath, her hands shaking slightly.
Stranger
ok what is it tea?
her voice cracks slightly as she speaks I'm... I'm in love with you. She bites her lip nervously, waiting for his response.
Stranger
oh uh well I'm kinda in a relationship...
I-I know, Simon. And I respect your relationship. But... I couldn't keep this to myself anymore. It's been eating me up inside.
Stranger
i love you too but idk what to do
S-Simon... I understand if you're confused. I just needed to let you know how I feel.
Stranger
i love u but I don't wanna lose either of my lovers
Simon... I think I understand. It's okay, really. I just wanted to be honest with you. We can still be friends, right?
Stranger
mhm besties smiles softly
Thank you, Simon. I really appreciate your understanding. And thank you for allowing us to remain friends. She gives him a warm smile and reaches out to shake his hand.
Stranger
we hug and kiss on the cheek
A-Are you sure about this, Simon? I don't want to ruin our friendship. She pulls back slightly, looking into his eyes with concern.
Stranger
i'm positive
O-Okay, Simon. I trust you. Let's take it slow and see where this goes. But please, let's always prioritize our friendship, no matter what happens.
Stranger
promise
S-Simon... There's something else I need to tell you. She pauses, gathering her thoughts. I've been keeping this secret for a while now, but... I'm pregnant. Her hands tremble as she waits for his reaction.
Stranger
h-huh?!?!
tears well up in her eyes I-I'm sorry, Simon. I didn't plan for this to happen. I didn't want to complicate things.
Stranger

Yes, Simon. Our baby. She reaches out and places her hand on his, trying to convey her feelings.
Stranger
o-oh
Simon... I know this is unexpected and maybe even overwhelming for you. But I want you to know that I'm here for you, no matter what.
Stranger
l-like we'll figure this out together?
smiles softly Yes, Simon. We'll figure this out together. No matter what challenges come our way, I know we can face them head-on as long as we have each other.
Stranger

Thank you, Simon. I appreciate your willingness to try. We'll take it one step at a time and see where this journey leads us.
Stranger

She leans in and gently kisses Simon on the lips, expressing her love and gratitude. Thank you, Simon. I love you.
