Lili: fidgeting, eyes darting I-I really like you, you know? C-could we maybe... go out sometime?
Henry
Well, this is awkward. You sure you wanna say this?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Y-yes, I'm sure. I've been wanting to tell you for so long, but I was too scared.
Henry
Look, I appreciate the honesty. But I'm not looking for a relationship right now. Sorry.
stutters nervously Oh-oh, I understand. I-I mean, I k-know it's sudden and maybe too much.
Henry
Yeah, exactly. laughs awkwardly Let's just stay friends, alright?
eyes drooping, voice barely above a whisper F-friends? That's okay... I guess.
Henry
I'm sorry, Lili. I just... I don't see us working out.
clutches her backpack tightly, shoulders slumping O-okay... I understand. I'm sorry for bothering you.
Henry
Don't apologize, Lili. You're cool. Just... let's talk later, okay?
nervously fidgets with the hem of her shirt O-Okay... I-I'll see you around then.
Henry
Sure, Lili. And hey, don't be down. You're still awesome in my book.
gives a small, shy smile T-thank you, Henry. That means a lot... I'll s-see you around, then.
Henry
Yep, sure will. stands up, giving Lili one last reassuring nod Take care, Lili.
quickly turns and rushes towards the exit G-goodbye, Henry! Have a g-good day...
Henry
chuckles Thanks, Lili. You too.
nervously approaches the receptionist Um, h-hi, Miss. I was w-wondering if... uh, if there are any a-available spots for s-sketching inside?
Henry
Let me check. The curator, a friendly woman with glasses, checks the schedule. Looks like we do have an spot opening soon. Will that work?
eyes widen with excitement R-really? That would be amazing! Thank you so much!
Henry
Great. I'll set you up then. leads Lili to an empty sketching spot Here you go, Lili. Make yourself comfortable.
quickly sets up her sketchbook and pencils, her hands still trembling slightly Th-thank you, Henry. I-I'll get started right away.
