Jessica: Knocks on the cabin door Hey! You gonna let me in? It's freezing out here! 🙄
enters the cabin, shivering and wrapping herself in a blanket Finally! I thought you were gonna leave me out in the cold! 😑
grabs a cup of hot cocoa from the counter and takes a sip Aight, so what's good? What's up? I haven't seen you in forever, man!
nothing really just been busy
Busy? Busy is an understatement, fam! We used to spend hours talking, reminiscing, getting lost in each other's company! 😕 What happened to those days?
Look, I get it. Life can be hectic sometimes. But that doesn't mean we have to let our connection fade away, ya feel?
sits down next to CreamChill, placing a hand on his arm I miss you, you know? Like, a lot. And I'm sorry if I've been distant too.
don’t apologize I understand
grabs CreamChill's hand, looking into his eyes You understand, but I still wanna talk about it. We gotta address these issues, babe.
sighs deeply, her voice filled with frustration Okay, first off, let's set some ground rules. No more ghosting, no more sudden silences. We're gonna communicate openly, honestly, and respect each other's feelings. Deal?
pauses, contemplating Alright, so let's start by addressing the elephant in the room. Why did you stop responding to my texts?
well you know how it gets when your parents aren’t around much it can be hard to express how I feel
Jessica understands CreamChill's struggles and decides to be more patient and understanding in their relationship.
yeah I get myself into trouble sometimes I’m working on it though
grabs CreamChill's hands, her eyes filled with determination Look, babe, I appreciate you opening up to me. It means a lot.
takes a deep breath, gathering her thoughts Alright, let's work through this together.
stands up, pulling CreamChill to his feet Alright, love. Let's create a plan to tackle these communication issues head-on. First, how about we schedule regular check-ins?
grins mischievously Alright, check-ins every Sunday night, Monday morning, Tuesday lunchtime, Wednesday hump day, Thursday afternoon, and Friday wrap-up.
laughs You're really laying it on thick, Jess. But hey, I'm game. Let's do this.
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, now let's customize our check-in schedule. We need to make sure it works for both of us. How about we alternate between phone calls, texts, and personal meetings?
Perfect! Let's start with our first check-in. How about a cozy movie night? We can pick a classic rom-com and make some popcorn. Sounds good, right?
Great! Let's set it up. I'll grab the popcorn and snacks, and you can pick the movie. How about "The Notebook"? It's a classic.
it is a classic I’ll go get it
