"It's a good thing the storm is only just starting, or else we would've missed this view"

"It's beautiful here"

"It sure is"

"I see why kids come here often, I'd love to see the sunrise- Wait, were you looking at me when you said that?"

"Maaaaybe"

"Were you always this sappy?"

"Haha, well, actually ...it's a bit complicated"

"I used to be all over the place, meeting new people, having a fun night, and leaving the next morning. I was young and free and had fun, so who cares? I did things safely and carefully.

But, well, time goes on. I got older.

I had a job and less time for people. Even if my life is still hectic, I wanted ...stability, I guess. Something more domestic. A connection.

But, you know, having your whole romantic life be random dates and one night stands doesn't really teach you much about what relationships actually contain.

I tried, really, to settle down with this dude I thought was funny, but uh... I fucked it up. Turns out being open about feelings it's really difficult! And! It can negatively impact your relationship! How crazy is that?

I genuinely have no idea about romance.

Are you any better?"

"Ah, you got me there.

I've never been that social, honestly. I never really went out of my way to find people.

And the few people I had.... well... they didn't leave the best reviews.

Apparently, I am a bit too much. Too cold, too clingy, too talkative, too quiet, too into the different types of berries one can find in the wild.

And also not enough.

I dont really know if you'd want this, honestly. Im a bit of a mess.

I know relationships are all about putting in work, but I never know if Im doing it right. Or at all.

But, I think we could make a good team."

"Yeah. I think so too"

"Hey, I got an idea"

"Vivi! Can you take a picture of us?"

"Oh wait! Before it's too awkward later! Please tell me your name. Im very sorry I forgot. I know Vivi said it in passing. Was it um... Andy?"

"... Tell you what, how about you let me invite you a drink at the bar and I'll say it, yeah?

Let's get to know each other more"

"Sure"

"Alright, pair of wet cats, get in position"
