From Strangers to Soulmates
Friendship blooms
[Ethan runs his fingers along the edge of the flowerpot, his gaze softening slightly]
[He doesn’t look at Sophie, but his voice is quiet]
Ethan
Why did you bring me this?
Sophie
I thought it might make you smile
Sophie
It’s simple, but flowers... they’re alive, you know?
Sophie
They’re like little reminders that even after bad storms, they still bloom.
[Ethan pauses, staring at the flower as her words sink in]
Sophie
And, well... I thought it could be a start. Of us... being friends, maybe?
[Still not meeting her eyes, he speaks in a low voice]
Ethan
I don’t need friends.
Sophie
That’s okay. But I’ll still be here, just in case
After a long pause, he glances at her for the first time, his expression unreadable.
Sophie
See? You can be nice sometimes!
Ethan
(Looks away, a faint hint of amusement in his eyes)
Ethan
Don’t push your luck
