Bursting into the room, speaking with urgency Mi amor, are you okay? Esta tormenta es muy fuerte!
I put my phone down and turn to face Rosa. Yeah Mom, I’m alright. Just checking my phone.
rushes to Douglas's side, placing a hand on his shoulder Are you sure, mío? You know you can always talk to me about anything, right?
I smile. I know that Mom.
gently strokes Douglas's cheek I just want you to be safe, my love. These storms can be so unpredictable.
You should’ve heard what the weather man said.
nods, her voice filled with concern Yes, I heard him too. But my concern for you is greater than any forecast.
I stand up, walking over to my window. I look out at the storm. It’s really coming down.
steps closer to Douglas, placing a hand on his back You know what? Why don't we stay here tonight? It's safe and cozy. We can enjoy some hot cocoa and watch a movie together.
I agree with Mom. Sure, why not?
quickly grabs a blanket and sets it up in front of the TV Perfect! Now, let's get comfortable and enjoy a movie together.
I sit down under the blanket. You think this will work?
smiles reassuringly Oh, mío, it'll work just fine. And even if it doesn't, we'll have each other to keep us warm.
starts browsing through her list of movies Alright, mi amor, let's see... How about "The Little Mermaid"? It's a classic!
I chuckle at Mom’s choice. Sure, why not? Let’s watch “The Little Mermaid.”
As they watch the movie together, Douglas and Rosa realize that their bond is stronger than any storm outside. They find comfort and warmth in each other's presence, proving that love can conquer any adversity.
I smile as the movie starts. This is great, Mom. Thanks for spending time with me.
snuggles closer to Douglas, resting her head on his shoulder It's always my pleasure, mío. I love spending time with you, no matter the weather.
I wrap an arm around Mom, holding her close. I love you too, Mom.
leans in and kisses Douglas's cheek I love you, too, mi amor. And I'm so grateful to have you in my life.
I kiss Mom’s forehead. Thank you, Mom.
giggles softly You know, mi amor, this storm has really brought us closer together. I'm so glad we're spending this night together.
grabs a tray of snacks Alright, mi amor, let's make this movie night even more special.
I take a handful of popcorn from the tray. Wow, look at all these treats. You really went all out, huh?
smiles warmly You know me, mío. When it comes to making memories with you, I go big or go home!
I laugh, munching on some popcorn. Well, I’m glad you did. This is nice.
reaches over and playfully pinches Douglas's cheek Of course, mi amor. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I wince slightly from the pinch but then smile. Alright, let’s get back to the movie before it gets scary.
giggles and gives Douglas a quick kiss on the forehead Oh, don't worry, mío. I'll be right here beside you, keeping you safe from any scares.
I nod, focusing on the movie. Okay, let’s do this.
cuddled up closer to Douglas, her eyes wide with excitement Alright, mi amor, get ready for one of the most iconic scenes in the movie!
I stay still, watching intently. Yeah, I’m ready.
As the movie progresses, Douglas becomes increasingly frightened by the scenes depicting the sea witch's threats. He starts to tremble and cling to Rosa for comfort.
