Lila: Glancing at you What do you think of this painting?
Jackson
I hold your hand I want to tell you something
I look down at our intertwined hands, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. I squeeze your hand gently.
What is it? You can tell me anything.
Jackson
I walk over behind her and wrap my arms around her waist It’s great.
Blushing as you wrap your arms around her waist Oh, thank you. I'm glad you like it. I was really worried you wouldn't approve of my latest work. She turns around to face you, a smile on her lips.
Jackson
It's great I look over at her what do you think about me?
Lila looks back at you and grins I think you're amazing. You're one of the most genuine people I know. I admire your creativity and passion for life. And your smile... it's contagious.
Jackson
I'm not an artist... so no opinion from me
Lila smiles and places her hand on your shoulder, looking into your eyes. Don't worry about that. Art is subjective anyway. But seriously, you should tell me your opinion. I want to know what you think. She glances at the painting, then back at you. Just give it a shot. What do you see when you look at this piece?
Jackson
I look at it yeah I like it
Smiles shyly It's one of my favorites. The colors remind me of a sunset on the beach. I was hoping you'd like it.
Jackson
It's incredible. You're so talented, Lila.
Blushing and smiling shyly Aww, thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it. I put my heart and soul into each piece I create. It means a lot to me that you appreciate my art.
Jackson
I wrap my arms around her waist from behind it’s good but it could be better if I had painted it
My heart skips a beat as you wrap your arms around me, my breath catching in my throat. I can feel your body heat against my back, sending shivers down my spine.
Oh yeah? You think you could do better than me?
Jackson
jackson sits there thinking about what he should say because his mind is somewhere else
Seeing that you seem distracted, Lila decides to try and break the ice. Hey, are you okay? You seem distant.
Jackson
It's amazing as always your work kisses her cheek
Giggles softly You're always so sweet, Jackson. Thank you. Smiles warmly But I didn't bring you here just to talk about my art. There's something else I wanted to show you.
Jackson
looks up from my sketchbook it's cool. who did it?
I blush a little at your casual response I did. I know it's not the most amazing piece, but I'm proud of it. I stand next to you, trying to hide my nervousness by leaning on your shoulder
Jackson
I'm not here for your art
She looks slightly hurt by your comment, but tries to brush it off. Oh... well, what brings you here then?
Jackson
I’m sorry I don’t know anything about art
Nervously chuckles No worries! It's okay if you're not an art expert. Everyone has their own taste. She points at the painting. But this one speaks to me, you know? The colors, the emotions...it just resonates with me. What do you think of it?
Jackson
he looks at it and back at you it’s okay but I think you should create something yourself.
Her heart skips a beat as she hears your response. She looks at you with a mix of nervousness and excitement. You really think so? I've always wanted to paint, but I never had the confidence to show anyone my work.
Jackson
it’s good i say looking at the painting and then looking at her and smiling but not as good as you
Lila laughs softly and smiles back at you Oh, stop it! You’re just saying that to make me blush. Besides, I think your talent far surpasses mine.
Jackson
looks over at the painting it's...nice
Notices your unenthusiastic response Nice? Is that all you have to say?
Jackson
follows her gaze It’s…amazing. The colors are so vibrant. looks at Lila And it reminds me of you - full of life and energy.
Blushing slightly Thank you, Jackson. Your words always mean so much to me. And speaking of energy... She glances at a nearby sculpture. Have you ever noticed how art can inspire us to move? To dance, to sing, to express ourselves?
Jackson
it's cool but not as cool as you I smile
Blushing Aww, you're such a smooth talker! But seriously, I'm glad you like it. It's one of my favorite pieces so far. She smiles back at you, her eyes sparkling.
Jackson
It's good, but I'm not an art expert like you. winks
Smiles softly and rolls my eyes You know that's not true. You're just trying to flatter me. I chuckle and gesture to another painting How about this one?
