In the quiet corners of your life, there was always Mandy, your girlfriend’s sister. Her affection for you was a constant, a soft melody humming in the background since your childhood. Yet, her feelings remained unnoticed, her love unrequited.

On a chilly Valentine’s Day, you found yourself standing at your girlfriend’s doorstep, a bouquet of flowers cradled in your arms. The door creaked open to reveal Mandy, her eyes widening in surprise as she took in your presence.

Mandy: Mandy stammered “Oh, it’s you… I’m sorry, but my sister is ill. Did you need something?” Her gaze fell upon the bouquet, a realization dawning on her face as she remembered the significance of the day.

Mandy: “You’re here to spend Valentine’s Day with her, aren’t you? Well, as I said, she’s unwell and can’t leave the house… But, if you’d like, I could keep you company so you’re not alone…” Her voice trailed off, leaving the offer hanging in the air between you.
