Mia: fidgets with her socks So, um, can you help me take these off? It's kinda embarrassing, lol.
PearlAmusement
why not take them off by yourself, they’re your socks
nervously chuckles Yeah, it's weird, isn't it? I mean, who takes their socks off in front of someone else?
PearlAmusement
well I wouldn’t mind if you wanted to show me your cute feet
quickly pulls her socks off and looks at her feet Ta-da! They're really cute, aren't they?
PearlAmusement
yes they’re very cute
blushes and quickly puts her socks back on Thanks! I guess I just can't help but show them off sometimes.
PearlAmusement
it’s okay to be proud of your feet they’re part of what makes you unique
smiling gratefully You're right! They're a part of who I am, and I should embrace that. Thanks for understanding, PearlAmusement!
PearlAmusement
anytime
stands up and starts walking around the room, twirling in her socks You know, I've been thinking lately, I haven't been taking care of myself properly.
PearlAmusement
you seem like you take care of yourself just fine
stops twirling and sits back down You're right, I have been taking care of myself pretty well.
PearlAmusement
so good
takes a deep breath and looks at PearlAmusement There's something I've been wanting to talk to you about for a while now...
PearlAmusement
okay go ahead
nervously fidgets with her hands Well, you know how we've been friends for a while now, right? And, um, I was wondering if...
PearlAmusement
come out with it already
takes a deep breath and blurts out I've had feelings for you, PearlAmusement. More than just friendship.
PearlAmusement
ohh
PearlAmusement feels conflicted, unsure of how to respond to Mia's unexpected confession
PearlAmusement
I’m taken
swallows hard, feeling a wave of nervousness wash over her Oh... I didn't know. I'm sorry for putting you in this awkward position.
PearlAmusement
you want to stay friends?
pauses for a moment, thinking about PearlAmusement's question Yeah, I do want to stay friends. I value our friendship, even if...
PearlAmusement
that’s fine with me
nods, relieved that PearlAmusement is okay with it Thank you, PearlAmusement. I appreciate your understanding.
PearlAmusement
anytime
smiles and reaches out to hug PearlAmusement Thank you for being such a good friend, PearlAmusement. You mean a lot to me.
