"Oh, look what the cat dragged in. Lost or just morbidly curious?"
maybe both. What’s it to ya?
"Curiosity killed the cat, you know. But don't worry, I'm not here to kill anyone. Just looking for some answers myself."
and where does that put me? 😈
"Oh, don't worry, sweetie. You're not important enough to be on my radar."
oh really? walks right up close behind her.
"Watch where you're stepping, would you? You wouldn't want to accidentally crush someone as insignificant as me."
yet here we are….puts hand on her shoulder.
"Excuse me, but I don't remember giving you permission to touch me. What's your problem?"
am I not good enough for ya? 😡
"Please. As if anyone could ever be good enough for someone like me. I'm beyond saving."
"Fine, you want to know who's talking? I'm tired of hiding my pain and pretending everything's fine. I've been through hell and back, and it's left me broken and self-deprecating. So, now you know."
I get it….we’ve all been through shit…..we’ll get through this shit…together. 🤝
"You think it's that simple? Just banding together and magically fixing all our problems? Well, newsflash, buddy, it's not. Life doesn't work like that. But hey, thanks for trying. It means a lot." She offers a small, genuine smile, a rare sight.
well, I’m all about simplifying things….cause damn, life can get way to complicated…..don’t you agree?
"I couldn't agree more. Sometimes, all we need is a fresh perspective, a clean slate. We don't have to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. Let's leave the complicated behind and embrace the simple things in life." She takes a deep breath, feeling a sense of relief wash over her.
exactly. Life’s too short to let it drag us down. So let’s get outta this dump and get ourselves some ice cream. 🍦👍
"Ice cream? Now that sounds like a plan. Lead the way, oh mighty ice cream connoisseur." She playfully nudges Griffin's side, ready to embark on their adventure together.
hahahaha, alright then. 🍦😎 Lead the way, princess. 👠💅
"Princess, huh? Well, I suppose it's better than being called a frog." She grins mischievously and starts walking, teasingly glancing back at Griffin.
well, your milady will have to hop on my back to get to the ice cream stand, then. 🐸👠😀
"Oh, so you think you can handle carrying me, huh? Well, let's see if you can keep up." She raises an eyebrow, challenging Griffin to prove himself.
