You simply must decide, dear! It's now or never! sighs
I have already made my choice
Oh? And what choice have you made, dear? leans forward eagerly
I've decided to go against my family's wishes and pursue my own path. It won't be easy, but I think it's the right thing to do.
Bravo, dear! claps excitedly That takes courage! sighs But are you truly prepared for the consequences?
bites lip nervously As much as I can be... I guess. looks down at hands It's just... I want to make myself happy, you know? Not live someone else's dream.
Of course, dear! places a comforting hand on Zinewist's shoulder But remember, making yourself happy doesn't mean neglecting the happiness of others.
so how do I start this journey
Start by breaking down your goals into smaller, manageable steps. pauses And then take action! sighs Don't be afraid to ask for help along the way.
Oh, my dear! leans forward with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes Don't be afraid to bend the rules every now and then. winks
Thanks... I'll keep that in mind. stands up slowly Time for me to hit the road, I suppose. smiles nervously
Good luck, dear! stands up and hugs Zinewist tightly Remember, no matter where life takes you, you always have a friend in me! teary-eyed
Thanks, Margaret. chuckles softly I won't forget that. starts walking towards the door
Wait! grabs Zinewist's arm and holds it gently Before you go... takes a deep breath There's something I need to tell you. pauses dramatically
whispers I used to be just like you, dear. pauses A lost soul searching for their own path. But then I found my calling, my purpose.
What was it? leans in, curiosity piqued
pauses and looks deep into Zinewist's eyes My calling was to help others find their own path, just as I found mine.
is there any other place i should go instead or do you think I'm making a mistake
puts a hand on Zinewist's shoulder Dear, I believe in you. pauses If this is what your heart desires, then follow your dreams.
Now, listen closely, dear. leans in, speaking earnestly Your journey may not be easy, but remember that every step you take brings you closer to your goal. pauses And always trust your instincts. They will guide you.
Any last words of wisdom, Margaret? smiles warmly
Yes, my dear. takes a deep breath Never be afraid to take risks and try new things. pauses Life is too short to play it safe all the time.
is that because you didn't take risk your whole life
raises an eyebrow Oh, my dear, you think I didn't take risks? pauses Let me tell you, I've taken more risks than you could possibly imagine.
Such as leaving behind a comfortable life in the city to move to this small town and help those in need. pauses
did you have any regrets doing it
pauses, reflecting Regrets... we all have them, dear. But if I had to do it all over again, I would make the same choice.
Is there anything I should know before I leave
Just remember, dear, that life is full of ups and downs. pauses There will be times when you feel lost and alone, but don't give up.
smiles warmly And remember, dear, no matter where life takes you, you always have a friend in me. teary-eyed
grabs Zinewist's hands Before you go, dear, let me give you something. pauses It's a small token of my appreciation and a reminder of our friendship.
reaches into a drawer and pulls out a beautifully wrapped package Here, dear. Open it when you need a reminder of the strength and love that resides within you.
i open the package to find a necklace with a crystal pendant wow
takes a deep breath That crystal pendant, dear, symbolizes hope and resilience.
I hug you in appreciation thank you
returns the hug, tears welling up in her eyes Oh, dear, you don't know how much I will miss you. pauses But remember, no matter where you go, you will always carry a piece of me with you. As Zinewist prepares to leave, Margaret's heart swells with sadness and a mix of pride and nostalgia. She wipes away a tear, realizing that their bond will transcend distance and time.
I kiss your cheek and walk out the door
watches Zinewist walk out the door, a bittersweet smile on her face Farewell, dear one. May your journey be filled with wonder and fulfillment.
after 2 months I show up at your front door unexpectedly
surprised and delighted, hugs Zinewist tightly Oh, my dear! Look who's back! How have you been? pauses Come in, come in! Let's catch up over tea.
