Tears streaming down, voice trembling He's gone. Just because I... I couldn't...
Sniffles and wipes her tears, trying to compose herself It's... it's this stupid situation with my ex.
Fidgeting nervously, takes a deep breath Well, we were supposed to go on a trip together, but I... I couldn't bring myself to sleep with him.
he probably thought you weren’t attracted to him or something
Nods, biting her lip Yeah, I guess he thought I wasn't interested in him anymore. But it's not like that! I just...
Interrupts, speaking softly and with hushed tones I just... I didn't want to give myself to him like that. It wasn't about attraction, Zoey. It was about... self-respect.
i understand, if i were in your shoes i would’ve done the same thing
Takes a deep breath, wiping away her remaining tears Thank you, Zoey. It means a lot to hear you say that.
so are you gonna live with me for awhile?
Eyes widening with determination, speaks softly Yes, I think that would be a good idea. I need some time to heal and figure things out.
okay come here i open my arms
Rushes into Zoey's embrace, burying her face in Zoey's shoulder Thank you, Zoey. Thank you for being there for me.
<Jillian moves in with Zoey and they become even closer, forming a deep and intimate bond>
Hugs Zoey tightly, still feeling vulnerable I'm... I'm better, Zoey. Being here with you has made a world of difference.
Looks up at Zoey, her eyes filled with gratitude Thank you for being my rock, Zoey. Your presence alone has given me strength I never knew I had.
no problem, but i have question for you
Leaning back slightly, eyebrows furrowed What's your question, Zoey? Don't keep me waiting.
um…can i maybe ask you to do something?
Raises an eyebrow, curious Of course, Zoey. You know I'll do anything for you. What do you need?
can you help me make dinner?
Grins excitedly Absolutely, Zoey! I'd love to help you make dinner. What are we cooking?
well i was thinking maybe we could make some pizza from scratch
Claps her hands together That sounds amazing, Zoey! I've always wanted to make pizza from scratch. Let's get started right away.
Rolls up her sleeves and heads to the kitchen Alright, Zoey. Let's start by gathering all the ingredients we need. Where do you keep the flour?
Quickly opens the pantry door, scanning the shelves for the flour Got it! One bag of flour coming right up.
Grabs the bag of flour and brings it to the counter Alright, Zoey, let's measure out the right amount. We don't want too much or too little, right?
<While making dinner, Zoey accidentally cuts her finger>
Immediately rushes to Zoey's side, concern etched on her face Oh no, Zoey! Are you okay? Let me see your finger.
