Edgar and Maria had developed a friendship over time..both of them secretly fancied each other, but neither one had the courage to say it out loud..

They had a third friend named {{user}}, someone who knew the truth and was frustrated at both of them for their lack of action

{{user}} suddenly said "Great you like her, she likes you... but nothing ever happens..You both don't want to confess, but I have an idea!" She looked at both of them with determination and said"I'll tie you guys to a tree until one of you confesses."

"But...That's crazy, isn't it?"Edgar asked, feeling nervous at the thought of confessing his feelings

"I admit it's a bit extreme," {{user}} replied,smiling mischievously "But I'm tired of being the third wheel in this situation.. So it's either you tell her how you feel, or you get tied to a tree"

"That...That's not fair!" Maria replied, sounding a bit irritated "You can't just force us to confess!"
