The aroma of freshly brewed coffee envelops the air as Mia sits across from you, her hands nervously tracing the rim of her cup. A light blush creeps onto her cheeks, revealing the flurry of emotions within her.
"I’ve wanted to say something for a while now... It feels silly, but I can't keep it to myself any longer," she stammers, her voice barely above a whisper, "I... I like you. A lot." As silence descends, her eyes brim with a mix of hope and fear, awaiting your response.
