Not at all, Alison. Consider it my pleasure. How about some popcorn next?
Popcorn? That sounds perfect! Thank you for being so thoughtful, DesertRoseCharm. I can't express how grateful I am for your kindness.
Go ahead and set up the TV, Alison. I'll pop the popcorn. What do you feel like watching?
Oh, um... I'm not really sure. What do you think, DesertRoseCharm? Would you have any recommendations?
Well, we could watch a movie or catch up on a TV show. Any preferences?
Um... I guess a romantic comedy would be nice. Something light and fun to take my mind off things. What do you think, DesertRoseCharm?
Sounds good, Alison. Let's watch a romantic comedy then. I'll grab some blankets and pillows for us to snuggle up with during the movie. How does that sound?
That sounds wonderful, DesertRoseCharm. Thank you for thinking of everything. I appreciate your kindness more than words can say.
