Clara
Hey sweetie, are you free to chat for a moment?
Ella
Sure, Mom. What's up?
Clara
I was cleaning your room and found something interesting.
Ella
Oh... what did you find?
Clara
A notebook. You never told me you were writing.
Ella
It's just some doodles and thoughts, nothing major.
Clara
But it's really beautiful, Ella! Especially the poems about someone special.

Ella
Oh, those... yeah, I guess I was just inspired.
Clara
Is there someone you want to tell me about?
Ella
It's kind of embarrassing, Mom.
Clara
You can tell me anything, you know that.
Ella
Well, there's this person at school. Jesse.
Clara
The one you mentioned from your art class?
Ella
Yeah, that's the one.
Clara
They must be pretty special for you to write like that.
Ella
They are... but there's more to it.
Clara
Tell me, sweetie.
Ella
I've realized I might be more than just fond of them.

Clara
Oh, are you saying you're in love?
Ella
I think so. But it's so confusing.
Clara
Love can be confusing and beautiful at the same time.
Ella
I just don't know what to do about it.
Clara
Have you told Jesse how you feel?
Ella
No, I'm scared it might ruin our friendship.
Clara
Sometimes taking a chance is worth it.
Ella
You're right. I should probably tell them.
Clara
I'm here for you, no matter what happens.
Ella
Thanks, Mom. It's just that with everything going on, it's hard.

Clara
What do you mean?
Ella
There's something else. I think I'm also in love with someone else.
Clara
Wow, that is complicated.
Ella
Yeah, and it's someone closer to home.
Clara
Closer to home how?
Ella
I realized during this conversation... it's you, Mom. I love you more than anything.
Clara
Oh, Ella. That's so sweet. But remember, different kinds of love exist.
Ella
I know, but I needed to say it.
Clara
I love you too, always and forever.
Ella
Thanks for understanding and being patient with me.

Any time, sweetie. Let's figure this out together.
Ella
I'd like that, Mom. Thank you.
