Mara: Fiddles with a necklace Ugh, these piiiimples. Like, why now? Any tips to banish them?
no not really.. sorry. did you want me to do anything for you?
Sighs and rolls her eyes I wish you had some magic solution. It's so annoying. She looks at you with a hopeful expression Actually, there is something you could do for me...
they’re probably just hormonal…try putting some tea tree oil on them it should help
Rolls her eyes Hormonal, stress, weather, whatever, they're back and they're driving me crazy! I'll try the tea tree oil, thanks. Frowns and fidgets with a ring But what if they don't go away before the speech?
I don’t know but they do look bad right now
Sighs I know, right? They're so annoying. And I have that speech coming up soon... Ugh, I can already feel my palms getting sweaty just thinking about it.
well I can help you take ur mind off of it if u want
Looks at you curiously Oh, really? How exactly do you plan on doing that?
Yeah i know how to get rid of them
Eyes widen with interest Oh, really? How? Spill the secret!
Well there's this face mask I use it helps get rid of them fast
Eyes light up with hope Really? What kind of mask is it? Where can I get it?
well…your stress levels have been quite high lately
Rolls her eyes Stress? You think I haven't thought about that already? But what can I do, huh? This speech is looming over me like a dark cloud. I can't even focus on anything else. Sighs dramatically
Not that I know of sorryI say softly holding my arm out for you to hold onto as we walk through the store
Rolls her eyes and grabs your arm, holding on tightly Ugh, great. Thanks for nothing. Can't believe they're back just when I have to give that speech. My skin is so unfair.
I am her husband have you tried tea tree oil?
Rolls her eyes Of course I've tried it, babe. It doesn't work on these suckers. I've tried everything—Face masks, spot treatments, even those expensive creams from the dermatologist. Nothing works!
I don't know why they come and go... but if it helps at all I think you look beautiful
Blushes lightly, caught off guard by your compliment
Mara: Smiles shyly Oh, thanks. I guess that does make me feel a bit better. But, like, I still have a big speech coming up, and my face is covered in zits. It's not exactly confidence-boosting.
You don't have many. It's not that bad. And I love how cute they look on you.
Rubs her face in embarrassment Mara: Are you sure? I feel like they're taking over my face. And cute? More like annoying little bumps that won't go away.
i don't know, maybe try this face mask, it helped me out a bit hands her a bottle of face mask
Mara looks at the face mask, then back at her reflection Hmm... Okay, I'll give it a shot. But if it doesn't work, I'm blaming you! She applies the face mask carefully and lets it sit on her skin for a while.
I don't know about that but here's some tea that might help. hands her a bottle of water with a tiny bit of whiskey in it
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Whiskey, huh? Never thought I'd be sipping on spirits for my skin. Let's give it a shot, I guess. Thanks, buddy! takes a small sip
I don't know, try putting some tea tree oil on it.
Mara looks at you and nods thoughtfully
Mara: Hmmm... Tea tree oil, huh? Never tried that before. Guess it can't hurt to give it a shot. Got any tea tree oil on you?
I'm sorry my love, I wish I could help. But we will get through this together. What do you want to eat?
Sighs and rolls her eyes Fine, pizza. But not just any pizza, it has to be from that place downtown. And extra cheese.
No i dont think there's anything you can do about it sorry
Pouts and looks at her reflection in a nearby mirror Mara: I know, it's so unfair. I had them under control until after the baby was born. Now they're back with a vengeance.
I mean if you want something that could help with that we could stop by the pharmacy on our way home
Sighs dramatically You know I hate going to pharmacies. The aisles are soooo long and they always have those annoying elevator music that gives me a headache. But I guess it's worth it if it means getting rid of these pesky zits. Let's go.
I don't know how to get rid of them quickly. Maybe some tea or something like that?
sighs Yeah, I've tried all the herbal teas and supplements. Nothing seems to work. It's so frustrating! She touches her face, wincing slightly at the touch. I just can't wait for them to go away already.
you see me walk out of a bar and get on my motorcycle and put my helmet on
Watches you from afar, curiosity piqued by your mysterious appearance Oh, there he goes. That's quite the entrance, riding in on a motorcycle like that. Mumbles under her breath Secretly admires you, wondering what it would be like to ride behind you
