I'm looking forward to it!
Here's mine: (Actually a spoiler bc the episode releases on 4/20)
Making their way through the archway in the kitchen, Alice turns to ensure the door shuts behind her father before she says, “We should probably talk.”
“About what?” Theodore asks, opening and closing cabinets, likely in search of food and supplies.
“Us.”
With that simple word, Theodore immediately dropped the can of food he was holding and turned to face Alice. Startled, he asks, “What do you mean?”
“You know exactly what I’m talking about.” Alice says as she steps closer, caging him against the countertop. “I am attracted to you and I believe you feel the same way about me. The logical conclusion would be to date, would it not?” By the time she'd finished talking her face was merely inches away from him and their bodies touched with every breath.
Theodore’s face betrayed his conflicting emotions as he finally grinds out. “I… I can’t. You are at a time of discovery. The time of your life where you need to be able to figure out what you want to do and who you want to be. And I don’t want to hold you back from that. I mean, for goodness sake you literally just met your father-”
Alice interrupts him saying, “You seem to have something confused. I know what I want to do with my life. I am glad to have met my father but my life would’ve still continued without him. I own a successful shop and I only live at home with my mother because I want to. I am capable of taking care of myself and I have an established life. I just want to share it with you, for however long this lasts.”
Shaking his head, Theodore says slowly, “I have baggage… a lot of it. I have done things that I will carry the weight of for the rest of my life. I couldn’t add my burdens on top of the ones you are carrying. I don’t want to ruin your life too.”
“I don’t ever plan on giving you that opportunity. But I do want to see where this goes, and I’m not letting your fear hold us back. What matters is that you want me and I want you, correct?”
Resting his head on her shoulder, Theodore wraps his arms around Alice and pulls her in for a tight embrace before murmuring, “What is your father going to think though?”
“He already knows. Well, we liked each other. I don’t think he’ll be too upset.”
At Alice’s words, Theodore pulls away and asks, “He knew? And he still helped me escape with you guys. He could’ve just left me behind.”
“Well some of us seem to see your worth better than you can.” Alice’s father could be heard from the doorway.
Even though they had already stepped away from each other, the sound of his voice was enough to cause them both to jump as they scrambled to create more distance between each other.
