the timeline is june 5th, 1988 in indiana, susie watson was studying science at home on her computer when her younger brother, ollie walked in.

Ollie: hey, sissy.. do you have a moment?

susie stops typing and turns her head over to her brother.

Susie: sure, what’s up?

ollie rubs his arm nervously before sitting down on the bed.

Ollie: uh.. how do you confess to someone?

susie looks at ollie with a confused expression.

Susie: why are you asking tha-

susie than realizes what ollie is asking.

Susie: it’s about mike, isn’t it?

ollie nods his head shyly.

Ollie: yeah.. how do i… confess to him?

susie fully turns her body over to ollie and puts her hand on her chin.

Susie: you just.. confess, that’s what i did when i confessed to lilly.

ollie looks at susie with a blank expression.

Ollie: listen, i’m not confident like you are.. and besides, mike is dating laura, i don’t want to ruin his relationship.

susie stares at her brother, she knows that he lacks confidence about his sexuality so she tries her best to encourage him.

Susie: listen, you need to tell him at some point, you can’t stay in the closet forever, you know.
