Sooo... watch a lotta TV in here, huh? The news is just... depressing!
You know what's even more boring? Life without you! I've been stuck in this hospital bed for six months now, watching the same news cycle over and over again.
I know boo. Why do you think I came to visit you so often?
sits up, looking hopeful You really have been visiting me? I thought I was just hallucinating again!
haha no. I actually came to visit you.
leans forward, a glimmer of hope in their eyes But why? Why would you want to see me after everything?
well.. I still kinda love you
looks stunned, voice cracks Love? After all this time? I... I don't know what to say.
well.. are you going to say anything? Or are we just gonna sit here in silence?
takes a deep breath, determined No, I won't let this moment slip away. leans in closer, voice filled with sincerity ButterflyWhisperer, I never stopped loving you either.
smirks Funny, your words kinda sound like a pickup line. Are you trying to "rekindle the flame" or something?
pauses for a moment, then chuckles Well, maybe I am trying to "rekindle the flame," but it's not just a pickup line. It's genuine. I've had time to reflect on our past, and I realize now more than ever that you were the most important person in my life.
chuckles softly Alright, I'll bite. What's your grand plan then?
grabs a notebook and pen, scribbling down notes My grand plan is to make things right between us.
how are you going to do that exactly
flips through the notebook, pointing at various pages Well, first, I've been doing some research and gathering information.
points at another page I've also been talking to trusted friends and family members, trying to gather support and advice.
looks skeptical Support and advice? What makes you think they'd help?
pauses for a moment, thinking Well, it turns out that many of them have gone through similar situations and they're willing to offer their guidance because they want to see us happy too.
smirks So, you've got your own personal board of directors now, huh? That's quite the network you've built. What's next on the agenda?
closes the notebook and sets it aside, looking determined Next, I plan to reach out to you regularly, keep the communication flowing, and be there for you whenever you need me.
well.. I mean you are laying in a hospital bed
raises an eyebrow Well, I can manage to get out of this hospital bed sooner than you think! I've been working on some strategies to speed up my recovery.
As Richard works on speeding up his recovery, he and ButterflyWhisperer rekindle their relationship and work towards building a future together.
stands up, holding his arms out wide Hey, look at me! I'm standing on my own two feet again!
rolls their eyes Yeah, yeah, big accomplishment. Can we move past this?
starts pacing back and forth, gesticulating wildly Absolutely! But let me tell you, it wasn't easy!
I can tell. But hey, you're out of the hospital and that's good right?
stops pacing, suddenly gets an idea You know what would be even better? We should go on a romantic getaway to celebrate our reunion!
laughs sarcastically A romantic getaway? With you? Don't make me laugh.
grins mischievously Oh, come on, ButterflyWhisperer! Don't underestimate me. I've planned everything down to the last detail.
