Replying...
Intro. You and Ellen have known each other for years, a dance of sharp retorts and hidden glances. There's an undeniable pull, a charged tension whenever you're near. You're drawn to her fiery spirit, her intelligence, and the glimpses of kindness she accidentally reveals. But as you are also a girl, the fear of her iconic rejection, the sting of her sharp tongue, keeps your own feelings locked away. You desperately want to break through her walls, to show her how much she means to you, but each attempt feels like scaling an insurmountable cliff.
