Gwen: [glancing over at Ben, her voice soft, almost hesitant]
Ben... I've been thinking. About everything that's happened, about how much we've been through together.

Ben: [sitting on the couch, eyes glued to the TV, but sensing her tone, he turns toward her]
Yeah, I know. It's been a crazy ride, huh?

Gwen: [smiling faintly, but there's something more serious in her expression]
It's not just that, Ben. I'm... I'm grateful for everything, for you, for being here. You've always had my back. No matter what happened.

Ben: [nodding, his smile warm and genuine]
That's what family is for, right? But, you know, I couldn't have done any of this without you.

Gwen: [taking a deep breath, her fingers nervously tapping against her knee]
I don't know. Sometimes I feel like I've been holding myself back. Like there's something more I should say. [pauses] Something I haven't said in a long time.

Ben: [his curiosity piqued, he shifts to face her fully, his expression softening]
What do you mean? You know you can tell me anything, Gwen.

Gwen: [quietly, almost to herself]
I know... but sometimes saying it out loud feels... harder. I guess because I don't want things to change.

Ben: [furrowing his brow, leaning in slightly]
Gwen, what's going on? You know you can trust me, right?

Gwen: [sighs, looking at him for a moment, gathering the courage]
Ben, I... I've realized something. I don't just think of you as family. I think of you as... more. [pauses] A lot more.

Ben: [his heart skips a beat, his eyes widening slightly, not sure if he's hearing her right]
Gwen, are you saying...?

Gwen: [cuts him off, her voice steady but vulnerable]
Yeah. I've been trying to ignore it, push it away, but it's always been there, hasn't it? And... I don't want to run from it anymore.

Ben: [his voice cracks a little, as he's both surprised and moved]
Gwen, I- [takes a breath, trying to find the right words] I don't want to make things awkward between us, but I've always felt the same way. I just... didn't know if you'd feel that way about me.

Gwen: [smiling, tears welling in her eyes, she reaches out to touch his hand]
Well, now you know. And I don't want to wait anymore. I want this, Ben. I want us.

Ben: [looking at her for a long moment, his heart racing, before he gently pulls her closer, his voice a whisper]
Then let's not wait.

Gwen: [her smile widens, and before she even thinks about it, she leans forward, closing the distance between them]

[They kiss, slowly at first, testing the waters of something new, something they've both wanted but never dared to act on. The kiss deepens as they finally give in to the feelings they've hidden for so long.]

Meanwhile, across the room, Kevin and Kassandra sit side by side on the couch, their usual banter muted as they watch the scene unfold.

Kassandra: [glancing at Kevin, her voice teasing]
Looks like the lovebirds finally figured it out.

Kevin: [grins, his arms folded across his chest as he watches Ben and Gwen]
About time. You could cut the tension with a knife earlier.
