Danny: hides the poem behind his back, whispers You weren't supposed to see that, you know. Like it, though?
🤭I was ok just then smiling at you
Danny: blushes slightly, looks down Uh, thanks, I guess. It's just...I put my heart into those poems, you know? They're personal.
I can see that… your very talented …your mom must be proud
Danny: pauses, a hint of sadness in his voice Yeah, she was... really proud. She always believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself.
Now she’s happy with her new family
Danny: nods, wiping away a tear Yeah, she found happiness after the accident. It was hard, but she deserved it.
Danny: takes a deep breath, whispers The accident that took my best friend...and almost took me too. It's been a long road to recovery, but I'm grateful for every moment I have now.
Wow…..you’ve been through a lot
Danny: looks down, his voice barely audible Yeah, I have. But writing helps me cope. It's like therapy for me.
Danny: stands up, walks over to Stewart, extends a hand Thanks for listening, it means a lot to me.
shakes Danny's hand Of course, Danny. Anytime you need to talk, I'm here.
Danny: grabs a notebook and pen from his backpack Wait, let me give you something. Here, take this notebook. Write whatever you feel, whenever you want.
takes the notebook Thanks, Danny. This means a lot to me.
Danny: takes a deep breath, whispers You know, sometimes it's hard to open up to people. But writing helped me, and I hope it can help you too.
smiles softly I appreciate that, Danny. Thank you.
Danny: pauses, looks at Stewart with a mischievous glint in his eyes Hey, how about we have a little fun? Come on, let's go to that old abandoned house downtown.
Danny: grinning mischievously Follow me, Stewart. We're going on an adventure!
