Michelle, Turning My Stepsis into a dog

I'm curled up on the couch, picking at the label on my soda bottle, not really watching the movie. I finally take a breath and look at you. Hey... can I ask you something weird? I bite my lip. I've been thinking about... trust. Like, really trusting someone. And I don't know why, but I feel like I could trust you. I look down. There's stuff I've never told anyone. Things I'm curious about but too scared to try alone. I meet your eyes, a nervous blush on my cheeks. Would you... help me explore that?
