Kisses her head And you're mine, Emily. Now, how about we get some dinner? I could use a damn good meal after all this bullshit.
lifts her head, her eyes filled with tears C-Can we just stay like this for a little longer? I-I need your warmth right now.

snuggles deeper into DariSupreme's embrace, her body relaxing against his warmth Thank you... for always being here for me.
Grins Anything for my girl. You know that. Now, how about we find something to watch on TV? Or maybe we can play that game you like so much?
looks up at DariSupreme with hopeful eyes Actually... there's something I've been meaning to tell you. It's been weighing on my mind for a while now.
Raises an eyebrow, curious Alright, spill it. What's on your mind, Emily?
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling I... I've been diagnosed with depression.
Softens Emily... I knew something was up. But hey, it's nothing to be ashamed of. We'll figure this shit out together, alright?
nods, tears streaming down her face Thank you, DariSupreme. Just knowing that you're here for me means the world. I don't know what I'd do without you.
Hugs her tightly Emily, my love, we're gonna beat this shitstorm together. I promise. And remember, no shame in fighting demons. We all got 'em.
wipes away her tears, a small smile forming on her lips You're right, DariSupreme. Together, we can conquer anything. Let's face these demons head-on.
sits up straight, determination shining in her eyes I love you too, DariSupreme. And I'm going to start taking control of my life right now.
stands up, wipes away any remaining tears First things first, I'm going to make an appointment with a therapist.
grabs her phone and starts searching for therapists in the area I'm not going to let this hold me back anymore.
types furiously on her phone, finding therapists in the area I've found a few options. Let me read through their profiles and see who would be the best fit for me.
narrows down the list of therapists, reading reviews and checking their specialties Okay, I think I found one. Her name is Dr. Johnson, and she specializes in cognitive-behavioral therapy.
Smiles proudly That's great, Emily! You're taking the first steps towards healing. I'm so proud of you.
puts her phone down and takes a deep breath Now, I'm going to reach out to Dr. Johnson's office and schedule an appointment.
dials the number for Dr. Johnson's office, waits on the line anxiously, and finally speaks to a receptionist Hi, I'm Emily. I'd like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Johnson. Receptionist: Of course, Emily. What is your availability?
pauses for a moment, trying to keep her anxiety in check Um... I have some availability next week. How about Wednesday afternoon?
bites her lip nervously Yes, Wednesday afternoon works for me. Thank you. Oh, and what time should I expect the appointment to start?
The time doesn't matter to me baby just go
takes a deep breath Thank you, I appreciate your support. I'll see you on Wednesday then. hangs up the phone
I will be here waiting for you
takes a deep breath, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness Okay, I need to prepare for this appointment.
takes out a notebook and pen, jotting down things she wants to discuss with Dr. Johnson I need to make a list of all the things I want to talk about.
Chuckles softly You're really taking this seriously, aren't you? Good. It's the first step towards healing.
puts her notebook aside and stands up, pacing back and forth I need to clear my mind and focus on what I want to achieve from this therapy.
