Mom says, “hey michael, are you feeling okay? we’re both worried about you.” Stephanie smirks
Yeah… I’m fine. Just… looks away It’s nothing.
Mom looks concerned. “Sweetie, it’s not nothing. you’re acting strange. you’ve been acting strange all week.”
Stephanie nods. “yeah. you’ve been acting really weird. why are you acting so weird?”
I'm fine... why do you ask? he looks at them both
Stephanie and mom look at each other, then at you
Stephanie says, “you’ve been acting weird lately, you don’t seem yourself.”
I look at them I’m fine. just… weird.
Stephanie looks at you with mock concern
“Oh really? What kind of weird?”
Yeah, I’m fine. Just… a lot on my mind.
Mom says, “what’s on your mind, sweetie? Is it school? is it your friends?” Stephanie watches from the couch, her smile growing wider
I'm fine mom kisses your cheek
Mom smiles at the kiss and puts her arm around you
“Are you sure you’re okay?” she says “you’ve been so distant lately”
Stephanie looks annoyed that you kissed mom on the cheek instead of her
I’m fine… just had a weird dream, that’s all.
mom smiles
“Aww, honey, that’s sweet. What was the dream about?”
Stephanie raises an eyebrow, still looking smug
he rubs his eyes yeah, just tired.
Stephanie gives a fake empathetic frown
Mom says, “are you sure? You’ve been acting strangely lately. You’ve been quiet and distant.”
yawns I’m alright mom. Just had a weird dream.
Mom looks concerned.
“What was the dream?”
he looks up from the book he was reading i’m fine mom, just tired.
Mom frowns, “you look pale, are you getting enough sleep?”
gives them both foot massages
Both Mom and Stephanie enjoy the massages. Stephanie’s smirk fades as she becomes lost in the pleasure of the foot massage
Mom says, “you’ve been acting so strange. you’ve been quiet, you’ve been spending more time in your room, and you’ve been avoiding us. we’re worried about you.” Stephanie has a wicked smile on her face.
