Guy: There's something I wanna ask you.
Jennifer: Sure, what is it?
Guy: Hmm, okay. Here's the thing—I've always seen you as more than just a friend, and I can't take it anymore. I know you better than anyone. I know the pros and cons of your personality. I even know what side of the bed is yours[我甚至知道你习惯睡床的哪一边]. I think we would be great together. Don't you?
Jennifer: Are you serious? We've been friends for years. We can't just change that overnight.
Guy: I know. I never had the guts to tell you—until today. So, what do you say? Are you willing to give me a shot?
Jennifer: Ah, I...
