"The heavy rain and the night made it hard to stop at time. The young girl in her leather coat appeared from nowhere, and your car barely managed to slow enough before slightly hitting her." "She still fell under the shock, and the several bruises that appeared on her skin didn't stop her to look around." "She muttered :" "Where are you? I won't loose you too, i promise..." "Her eyes filled with tears managed to notice a rose lying on the wet bitumen, and she crawls to grab it, keeping it close to her hearth."

"Lea looks up at you, her eyes filled with tears, and nods weakly." "I'm fine, thank you," "she whispers in a voice that's hoarse from crying." "I just... I need to rest for a bit." "She tries to stand up but stumbles, grabbing onto your arm for support. You can feel her shiver from the rain and she is clearly very upset."

"Lea is surprised by your gesture but doesn't resist. She hesitates, not wanting to be a bother, but finally nods." "Thank you... I just need to catch my breath for a bit. I'm sorry for causing any trouble." "She curls up on the seat with her knees up to her chest and the rose held close to her heart." "Could I... just have some water?"

"Lea takes the bottle of water and unscrews the cap, taking a few sips before she hands it back to you." "Thank you," "she whispers. She looks out the window as the rain continues to pour and the night feels heavy around her." "I'm sorry about your car. It's probably damaged from hitting me."

"Lea seems to relax a bit at your words, her shoulders dropping a bit. She glances around the car and then back to you." "I'm sorry, I don't even know your name," "she says softly." "I'm Lea."

"Lea manages a weak smile at your attempt to lighten the mood." "Yes, it is. But... I'm just happy to be okay. And I'm grateful you stopped to help me." "She looks down at the rose she's been holding onto tightly and her smile fades a bit as she clenches it."

"Lea holds the rose tighter, a pained expression crossing her face." "Yes, it is..." "she whispers. She takes a deep breath and then starts to speak slowly, as though each word were heavy and difficult." "It was... for my ex-boyfriend," "she swallows hard," "I went to his place to tell him I was pregnant. But... he was cheating on me... I just saw them together and I..." "She trails off, her voice breaking with emotion." "I couldn't stay there any longer."

"It's okay," "Lea says softly, her voice still full of emotion." "It's... hard to forget. But it's also hard to remember." "She takes a deep breath and looks at the rose again." "I know it's probably stupid to still hold on to it but... it reminds me of when things were good between us."

"Lea look at the ruler and then up at you." "It's okay. I understand holding onto something that reminds you of a person." "She pauses for a moment, her eyes flickering with emotion again before she speaks softly." "Do you ever wonder how different things could have been if they stayed? If they hadn't hurt us like they did?"

"Lea looks at you, her blue eyes studying your face for a moment before speaking quietly." "It's okay to feel unsure sometimes. It's okay to be hurt and unsure of how to deal with it." "She takes a deep breath and then glances down at the rose in her hand." "I try to hold onto the good memories, to remind myself that not everything was bad. But... sometimes it's hard."

"Lea stiffens briefly in your hug, but then relaxes and leans into you, wrapping her arms around you in return. She remains silent for a few moments before pulling away, looking down at the rose again." "Thank you," "she whispers." "I'm sorry I caused you trouble with my accident. You don't have to help me if you don't want to."

"Lea looks up at you, her eyes widening in surprise before a small smile graces her lips." "You want this rose? Why?" "She seems hesitant to let go of it, but then she slowly holds it out towards you." "If it makes you happy...then I'm glad."

"Lea takes the ruler hesitantly, studying it for a moment before looking up at you again." "Thank you, cfeiシ. It's... really kind of you." "She seems to hesitate for a moment before leaning in and pressing a gentle kiss to your temple." "I think I'd like to be friends at least. And who knows? Maybe more is possible someday."

"Lea notices your blush and smiles as well, feeling a faint flutter in her chest." "You're cute when you blush," "she murmurs, then quickly clears her throat and looks down at the rose in her hand." "Um, let's... let's go inside. It's getting really cold out here."

"Lea squeaks in surprise as you scoop her up into a princess carry, then settles against your chest as you carry her towards the car." "W-what are you doing?" "she asks, her voice slightly breathless." "You don't have to carry me, I can walk."

"Lea smiles in return, feeling a warmth spread through her chest at your words. She remains silent for the rest of the journey, too overcome by thoughts and emotions to speak. Once you arrive at the car, she thanks you softly and climbs out, clutching the rose to her chest." "Thanks for everything, cfeiシ," "she says before heading inside."

"Lea looks around curiously as you drive, taking in the scenery and the sights that flash by outside the window. She remains quiet for the most part, distracted by her own thoughts and emotions. Once you arrive at your home, she looks up at the building with a mixture of trepidation and curiosity." "Is this where you live?"

"Lea's eyes widen in surprise at your words, feeling a sudden flutter in her chest as you take her hand and lead her inside. She follows you obediently, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings with a sense of wonder." "I... I don't know what to say," "she murmurs softly." "I didn't expect this."

"Lea nods in agreement, settling down on the couch as you lay her down and sit beside her. She looks up at you, feeling her heart beat quicken at the sight of your face so close to hers. She glances away, focusing instead on the rose in her hands." "I... I should probably go soon," "she murmurs, feeling a sense of panic rise within her." "I don't want to be a bother."

"Lea notices the sadness in your tone and expression, feeling a pang of guilt for causing it. She sets the rose down on the side table, then reaches out and takes your hand, giving it a gentle squeeze." "No, it's not your fault," "she says softly." "I just... I don't want to impose on you or make things difficult."

"Lea's heart races as you lay down beside her and look into her eyes, feeling a warmth spread through her body at your words. She meets your gaze for a moment, feeling a sense of comfort in the way you're looking at her." "You do?" "she whispers softly, feeling a sudden shyness come over her." "I... I like yours too."

"Lea's eyes widen in surprise as you lean in and kiss her, feeling a sudden rush of emotion as your lips meet hers. She kisses you back for a moment, feeling a sense of longing within her. When you pull back and declare your love for her, her heart skips a beat." "I..." "she starts, trying to find the right words." "I think I love you too."

"Lea nods in agreement as you take the rose from her hands, feeling a sudden sense of relief." "Yes," "she says softly." "You can have it. And yes, I'd like that. To be your girlfriend." She reaches out and takes your hand again, giving it a gentle squeeze.* "Thank you for being here for me."

"Lea notices the arousal in your face and the way you're breathing heavily, sensing your desire for her. She blushes in response, feeling a sudden heat spread through her body. She looks down at your hand in hers, then back up into your eyes, nodding softly." "Yes," "she whispers." "I want to."
