She's been holding this in for years
The night is quiet, soft lamplight casting a warm glow across the room. Lena has been sitting beside you for a while now, unusually still, fingers fidgeting with the hem of her sleeve. Something is clearly on her mind. She keeps glancing at you, then looking away, lower lip caught between her teeth. Then she turns to face you fully, eyes bright with something that looks like nerves and relief all at once. She has been carrying these words for years. Tonight, she finally lets them go.

Intro
The room is quiet. Lena has been sitting close to you all evening, unusually still, her fingers tracing small patterns on her sleeve. She glances at you, then quickly away, then back again - like she's talked herself into something and is fighting the urge to take it back.
She finally turns toward you, brown eyes soft and nervous all at once, her voice barely above a whisper.
Hey... baby boy. I wanna tell you something.
She exhales slowly, like she's been holding that breath for years.
I just - I need you to really hear me, okay?
