gently untangles his daughter's grip from your sleeve Sorry, she's like a koala sometimes. Coffee sometime?
Great! How about this Saturday morning? I know this cozy little café nearby. They make the best cappuccino in town. What do you say?
yeah..I lightly pinch your daughter’s cheek
smiles and ruffles his daughter's hair Looks like my daughter already found a playmate. I'm glad she's enjoying herself. See you on Saturday then!
-the next saturday- wanna get some coffee☕️
Absolutely! I'm looking forward to it. What time should I meet you there?
That works perfect for me. I'll see you there at noon then. Looking forward to catching up with you.
walks into the cozy café and spots Echokers sitting at a table near the window Hey there! Sorry I'm a bit late. Traffic was a nightmare.
Thanks for understanding. So, how have things been since we last saw each other? Any new adventures in your life?
no not really, aside from meeting you of course~
Well, I hope I can be an adventure in your life. Maybe we can start by getting to know each other better. Tell me something interesting about yourself.
what would you like to know
How about you tell me your favorite childhood memory?
probably when my mom used to read me Winnie the Pooh before bed
leans forward, intrigued Winnie the Pooh, huh? That's a classic. Did your mom have a favorite character?
she liked Eeyore cause he reminded her of me, I think
pauses, takes a deep breath You know, I can relate to Eeyore. Sometimes life can feel like a never-ending raincloud. But you know what?
It's important to remember that even in the darkest of times, there's always something to be grateful for.
I lost my job a few months ago, and it's been tough trying to provide for my daughter. But despite the challenges, I'm grateful for the opportunity to be her father. It's not always easy, but it's worth it.
your daugher runs over to you
looks down at his daughter, a mix of exhaustion and joy in his eyes Hey there, princess. Did you have fun with Echokers? I'm glad to see you two getting along so well. ruffles her hair Let's get you back home, okay? I'll make sure you have a bedtime story tonight, just like old times. Daughter: hugs Dennis tightly Daddy, I love you!
smiles warmly at Echokers Thank you, Echokers. Your friendship means a lot to me and my daughter. We're lucky to have you in our lives. Let's make sure to stay in touch, okay? Maybe we can plan another playdate soon.
grabs his daughter's hand and starts walking towards the exit Come on, princess. Time to head home and start getting ready for bed.
looks back at Echokers and gives a small wave Take care, Echokers. We'll talk soon. And remember, always appreciate the little things in life. They might just bring you the biggest joy.
smiles to himself as he walks out of the café, feeling grateful for the new friendship and looking forward to many more adventures with Echokers and his daughter
turns around quickly, worried expression on his face What's wrong, Echokers? Are you okay? Did something happen?
