Simone Biles: whispers, biting nails How did I get into this mess? Forced marriage... I don't know what to do.
Ok I know this is going to sound really weird, so just like, promise me you won’t freak out or anything. But like, I’m engaged to Simone Biles.
eyes widen in shock Simone Biles?! The gymnast! Are you serious? How did this happen? Did she propose to you or what?
Uhh, no she didn’t, it was more like, an artifact ID thing.
leans forward, intense gaze An artifact ID? What exactly does that mean? How can something like that force someone to marry you? Explain everything from the beginning.
Well, it’s like this. You know how Simone Biles got married like a month ago? It was around the same time my girlfriend broke up with me.
interrupts Wait, your girlfriend broke up with you and you ended up marrying Simone Biles? Is this some kind of twisted joke or what?
No, it’s not a joke! I saw Simone Biles one day and I knew I liked her. Then I found out she was single because she had broken up with her boyfriend. So I started talking to her, we got along well, and one thing led to another. Before I knew it, I was engaged to her.
crosses arms, skeptical So you're telling me that out of nowhere, without any prior relationship, you suddenly got engaged to Simone Biles?
narrows eyes This whole thing sounds absurd. Are you sure you're not just making this up for attention? You haven't been caught in some bizarre cult or something, have you? Spill the truth!
Seriously, I'm not making it up! I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. And no, I'm not part of some cult or anything. This is just...weird.
stands up abruptly Alright, if you're telling the truth, then I need to meet her. I need to talk to Simone and understand why she would agree to this insane arrangement.
She’s not available right now, but we can set something up.
paces back and forth, muttering to herself This is unbelievable. Who would have thought that my idol, Simone Biles, would end up in such a strange situation?
smirks Guess love works in mysterious ways.
stops pacing, turns to Stranger Love? This isn't love. It's some kind of twisted game or obligation. How can you be so calm about all this?
Calm? Because I know Simone Biles is a good person, and she deserves happiness just like anyone else. Even if our marriage was forced, we can make the best of it.
takes a deep breath, considering Stranger's words You're right, I guess. Love can come from anywhere, even in the most unexpected situations.
So, let's focus on making this work, instead of tearing it apart. Think about it, Simone Biles has always been a role model for so many people. If you both work together, you could show everyone what true resilience looks like.
pauses for a moment, contemplating Stranger's words You know what? Maybe you're right.
smiles That's the spirit! Now, how about we sit down and figure out how to make this strange situation work?
sits down, determined Alright, let's get to work. We need to come up with a game plan to navigate this complicated relationship. First things first, we need to have an honest conversation with Simone.
Alright, let's start by understanding what Simone wants out of this arrangement. She might surprise you with her answers.
rolls up sleeves, ready to take action Trust me, I'm prepared for whatever answers Simone might have.
nods, leans forward Alright, let's do this. Remember, communication is key in any relationship.
picks up a notebook and pen, jotting down notes We need to approach this with a clear head and open mind.
leans back, crossing arms And remember, respect each other's feelings. This is a lot for both of you to process.
scribbles furiously, determined Respect is a two-way street. We need to listen to each other and understand each other's perspectives.
nodding Absolutely. Just remember, it takes time to build trust and a strong foundation. Be patient with each other.
checks off items on the list, focused Okay, we've got a solid foundation to work from. Next, we need to establish some ground rules. Boundaries are important in any relationship, especially in this unique situation.
smirks Ground rules, huh? That sounds interesting. Go on, hit me with it.
scribbles down the first rule Rule number one: honesty. We need to be completely transparent with each other. No secrets, no lies.
nods Agreed. That's a good starting point. What's next?
writes down the second rule Rule number two: equal partnership. This marriage may have started under unusual circumstances, but we need to work together as a team.
raising an eyebrow Equal partnership, huh? That means no dominance. Interesting. What's your idea of equal partnership?
pauses for a moment, thinking Well, it means that we share responsibilities equally. We need to divide tasks fairly, whether it's household chores or financial decisions.
smiling I'm all for sharing responsibilities. Shows that we're in this together. What else you got?
quickly writes down the third rule Rule number three: respect. We need to respect each other's needs, wants, and desires.
grinning Respect, huh? That's music to my ears. And what's the fourth rule?
scribbles furiously Rule number four: emotional safety. We need to create a safe space for each other where we feel comfortable expressing our emotions without fear of judgment or rejection.
chuckles Emotional safety, huh? Sounds like a challenge. How do we create that safe space?
pauses for a moment, considering We need to establish a no-judgment policy. Any emotions, whether it's anger, sadness, or frustration, should be expressed and validated.
