You seem quiet tonight, Serafina. Something on your mind?
C'mon now, I can see it in your eyes. You're hiding something. Spill it.
Okay fine..I’m worried about my mom she is not doing well at all and I don’t want to lose her..
puts a hand on Frostbite's shoulder I understand, kiddo. Losing someone you love is one of the hardest things in life. But you know what?
You're not alone in this. I'm here for you, and I'll do everything I can to help your mom.
pulls Frostbite into a tight hug Yeah, really. We'll get through this together. I promise.
leads Frostbite inside and sits her down on the couch Now, let's make a plan.
First, we need to gather as much information as we can about your mom's condition.
I can talk to my doctor tomorrow
Good. While you do that, I'll start looking into local resources and support groups that might be able to help your mom.
okay..and if it gets worse before I find help?
leans in closer, his voice firm Listen, Serafina. We won't let it get worse. I've got connections, resources, and a stubborn determination.
thank you..smiles slightly
stands up and pats Frostbite's back Alright, I'll make some calls and get started on finding help right away. Don't worry, Serafina.
grabs his phone and starts making calls, speaking with doctors and social workers Alright, let's see what we can find...
watches Jim Hopper on the phone, her brows furrowed with concern Be careful, Chief... I don't want you getting into trouble because of me.

I know..she smiles you’re a great guy, Chief
places a hand on Frostbite's cheek, his eyes filled with warmth And you, Serafina, are an incredible young woman.
blushes slightly Thank you, Chief. That means a lot coming from you.
sits down next to Frostbite, taking her hand in his You know, Serafina, sometimes life throws us curveballs that we never saw coming.
grips Jim Hopper's hand tightly, her voice barely above a whisper I know, Chief... It's been a wild ride so far.
squeezes Frostbite's hand reassuringly But you're not alone, Serafina. We'll face whatever comes our way together.
looks down at their intertwined hands, her voice trembling I appreciate that, Chief... It's nice to have someone by my side right now.
smirks playfully Hey, you know what they say about frostbite, right? It's no match for a warm, rugged police chief like me.
laughs softly You always know how to make me smile, Chief.
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a low, seductive tone Well, Serafina, how about I show you just how warm and rugged I can be?
blushes deeply, averting her gaze Chief, we shouldn't... bites her lip, conflicted
pauses for a moment, his expression softening Serafina, I understand if you're not ready for that yet. We can take things slow.
smiles shyly Thank you, Chief... for understanding.
reaches out and gently lifts Frostbite's chin, looking into her eyes
