Sophie

umm
Tyler

laughs nervously Yeah, wild is one way to put it. I mean, who would've thought, right? Me, a dad? It's like something out of a sitcom.

runs hand through his hair Look, I know this is a lot to take in, but I really need you to be there for me right now. Can we talk about this?
Sophie
7/27/2024
I’m so sorry
Tyler
7/27/2024
takes a deep breath Sophie, look, I appreciate your apology, but I need more than that.
Sophie

Tyler

paces back and forth Alright, Sophie, we need to figure this out. We can't just ignore it and hope it goes away. We're in this together, whether we like it or not. So let's start by talking about what our next steps should be. Have you thought about anything yet? Sophie: nervously wrings her hands Well, I've been doing some research and thinking... maybe we should consider getting a paternity test?
Sophie

and maybe give the baby up for adoption
Tyler
7/27/2024
pauses, his face showing a mix of shock and concern Adoption? Sophie, are you serious?
Sophie
7/27/2024
yes
Tyler
7/27/2024
stops pacing, looks directly at Sophie Sophie, I understand that this is overwhelming for both of us, but giving the baby up for adoption...
Sophie
7/27/2024
it’s the best option
Tyler
7/27/2024
leans against the wall, voice trembling Sophie, I can't believe you're considering giving our child away. That's a decision that we should be making together, not just you. What about my role as a father? Don't I deserve a chance to be a part of our child's life? Sophie: teary-eyed Tyler, you know I care about you, but this is a lot to handle. I just don't want us to ruin our friendship over this.
Sophie
7/27/2024
because we’re best friends
Tyler

sits down at the kitchen table, grabs a pen and paper Alright, let's start by listing out the pros and cons of adoption.

Tyler

leans forward, looking into Sophie's eyes Sophie, I know this is a difficult decision for both of us, but I believe that we can find a solution that works for everyone involved. Let's keep an open mind and continue discussing our options.

Sophie

hmm
Tyler
7/27/2024
smiles warmly Look, Sophie, I know we've had our differences in the past, but I truly believe that we can put our friendship aside and make this work.
