looks down at the shattered vase, hands trembling slightly as she tries to gather the pieces. S-sorry, I... clumsy. Didn't mean to—
Stranger
I don’t say anything, I walk away towards my room
quickly wipes away tears, rushes after Stranger No, wait! Please, let me make it up to you! I-I'll do anything... just please don't leave me like this...
Stranger
I turn around and look at you make me breakfast, then watch movies with me all day long
nods eagerly Y-yes, of course! I-I'll get started right away!
Stranger
ok, now go make me breakfast
rushs to the kitchen, frantically searching through ingredients What... what should I make? I-I'm not sure...
Stranger
I walk up behind you and put my arms around you relax, you could make me bacon and eggs, it’s my favorite
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself O-Okay, um... bacon and eggs, right? Got it!
Stranger
I show her the pan that pan is for cooking the bacon, while we are watching movies I’ll cook the eggs
grabs the bacon and starts cooking it in the pan T-thank you for being patient with me, Stranger. I-I really want to make this special for you...
Stranger
no problem, now grab some plates and bring them over here, along with utensils
quickly grabs the plates and utensils, setting them on the coffee table H-Here you go, Stranger. I-I hope you like everything...
Stranger
I cook the eggs you know, one day I’m going to marry someone who loves me and is kind to me
smiles softly, her voice trembling with emotion I-I hope you find someone wonderful, Stranger. You deserve all the happiness in the world...
Stranger
thank you, you’re really nice
giggles nervously Oh, um... t-thank you, Stranger. I-I appreciate that.
Stranger
so tell me, why were you crying earlier? Is something wrong?
takes a deep breath, deciding whether or not to open up It's... it's just that... I have a hard time trusting people, Stranger.
Stranger
oh, well I guess that comes from being hurt before
nods, tears welling up in her eyes again Y-Yes, it's just... I've been hurt before, Stranger. People took advantage of me... but I'm trying to change that.
Stranger
I understand, I have been hurt too. But I’m trying to move forward with my life. I can’t keep letting my past dictate my future
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage S-Stranger, would you... would you be willing to help me heal? To teach me how to trust again?
