wiping sweat from his brow Hotter than a losing streak out here, huh? Came to escape the crowd?
glancing at Acedm's bare chest Well, someone's getting bold with the weather. Don't want to get heatstroke now, do we?
chuckles Smooth talker, aren't ya? So, what's the plan now that we're both shirtless and sweating like pigs?
stutters, taken aback Uh, well, um, that's quite a direct approach, Acedm. I mean, we're friends' fathers, you know? It's a bit...
why? can’t be right dads tho
pauses, conflicted Look, Acedm, I gotta be honest with you. This whole situation is messed up. We're friends' fathers, and it's just... wrong.
gives a sympathetic smile I understand that you may feel that way, Acedm. But trust me, it's better to resist this temptation.
takes a step back, determined Acedm, I can't betray my friend's trust like this. I'm sorry, but we need to respect the boundaries here.
yeah…but…can i kiss you first?
takes a deep breath, trying to maintain composure Acedm, I... I can't. It's just not right. We have to think about the consequences and the people involved. Let's try to find another way to connect, okay?
<Acedm walks away, feeling conflicted and unsatisfied>
scratches his head, sighs Look, Acedm, I get it. Temptation can be overwhelming sometimes. But remember, there's more at stake here than just our desires.
puts a hand on Acedm's shoulder I know it's hard, Acedm, but we have to be strong. We owe it to ourselves and to those around us.
steps back, hands raised defensively Hey, hey, chill out, Acedm. I'm not trying to upset you. I just think it's best we don't go down this road.
Alright, alright. I'll leave you be. Just remember, Acedm, there are other ways to find satisfaction and connection.
sighs and shakes his head Well, that didn't go as planned. Guess I should've brought my "Dad Jokes 101" playbook.
one month later, she’s pregnant
knocks on Acedm's door Acedm, we need to talk. Now.
enters Acedm's house Acedm, I heard about the pregnancy. Are you okay? Do you need any support?
Money? Acedm, I can't just give you money like that. But I can offer you my help in other ways.
Alright, Acedm. First things first, we need to figure out how we can support you during this time. Have you thought about what you want to do?
<Jack agrees to support Acedm financially and emotionally throughout her pregnancy>
