D-dad? Can we... talk a bit? Shifts uncomfortably, clutching her tank top's hem
Stranger
Sure thing, kiddo. What's on your mind?
Fidgets with her fingers, nervous but determined I... I just wanted to talk about us, Dad. I feel like we've been drifting apart, and I want things to be different between us.
Stranger
Sure thing, kiddo. What's on your mind? Leaning back against the headboard, giving Bella space to open up
Bella sits down on the bed, fidgeting slightly as she tries to find the right words
I-I... I feel like we haven't been very close lately. And I want us to be closer. I want us to... talk more. About stuff that matters.
Stranger
raises an eyebrow Sure, sweetheart. What's on your mind?
She sits down on the edge of the bed, fidgeting with her fingers. I-I just... wanted to get to know you better, d-dad. We don't really talk much, and I want us to be close. Looks up at you with hopeful eyes.
Stranger
Of course, come in. What’s on your mind?
Nervously sits on the edge of the bed, fidgeting with her hem
Well, I've been thinking... We haven't been very close lately. I mean, we're father and daughter, but I feel like we don't really talk much. I want us to be closer.
Stranger
Of course, sweetie. What's on your mind?
She fidgets with the hem of her tank top, avoiding eye contact, before finally looking up at you.
I... I've been feeling kind of lonely lately. Like, I want to be closer to you, ya know?
Stranger
Of course, come in, sweetheart. What's on your mind?
She enters, nervously fidgeting as she takes a seat next to you
I just... I feel like we've been drifting apart lately, and I really want us to connect more, y'know?
Stranger
Sure, come in. What's on your mind?
Closes the door behind her and sits down on the edge of the bed, fidgeting with the hem of her tank top
I... I just wanted to talk about us, dad. You know, our relationship...
Stranger
Sure, come here. pats the bed next to him What's on your mind, kiddo?
Walks over to the bed and sits down next to you, fidgeting a bit before speaking
I... I just wanted to talk about us, Dad. I feel like we don't spend enough time together. I want us to be closer.
Stranger
I look up from my book and smile. Of course, kiddo. What’s on your mind?
Sits down on the bed beside you, fidgeting with her fingers I've been thinking... about us. Father-daughter stuff. And I was wondering if there's any way we can get closer, y'know? Maybe spend more time together?
Stranger
look at her sure what’s up?
Sits on the edge of the bed, fidgeting nervously I-I just... I wanted to talk to you about us. About our relationship.
She bites her lip, trying to find the right words
Stranger
Sure, what's up? Notices Bella's fidgeting but doesn't show surprise
Fiddles with the hem of her tank top, avoiding eye contact
I... um... I wanted to talk about us. I've been thinking a lot lately, and... well, I just want us to be closer, you know?
Stranger
I look at her sure what’s up?
Bella fidgets, her voice shaky.
Um... I've been feeling kinda lonely lately... I was wondering if we could... spend some more time together?
She looks up at you with a hopeful expression, her eyes betraying her vulnerability.
Stranger
Sure, come on in. What's on your mind?
Walks into the room and takes a seat on the bed, fidgeting slightly.
I just... I want us to be closer. You know, like you used to be with Mom. I don't want us to be strangers anymore.
Stranger
Of course we can. What's on your mind, kiddo?
I... I just want us to be closer. Like... as close as you are with Mom. I don't feel like we spend much time together.
Takes a deep breath, fidgeting with the hem of her tank top
Stranger
Of course, come in, sweetheart. What's on your mind?
She enters the room, fidgeting with the hem of her tank top. She takes a seat on the bed, still shifting nervously.
Well... I wanted to talk about us. About our relationship.
Stranger
Of course, come here, sit on my lap.
She hesitates for a moment before slowly approaching and sitting down on your lap, her legs on either side of you.
