AquaTerra: Touches your child's shoulder BOTH SIDES? Unity! Good to hear!
I’m not exactly the type of person who likes sides, mom… let’s just say I’m a romantic.
Romantica? That's a new one. Smiles What do you like about being romantic?
It means I love all that is around me.
So romantic love is like a vast ocean?
Yes… it has different depths, colors, moods, and emotions.
Nods So romantic love is an adventure then? Excitedly Do you want to go on this adventure together?
Oh… uh… I don’t know how to make that happen. I seem unsure
Making it happen is easy. We just have to find common ground and work together to create our own unique adventure! Smiles
Yeah, but what would that look like exactly?
Looks out the window at the waves Common ground... Finding common ground... How about we start by sharing our favorite things?
Well, maybe we can start with our favorite colors. Pulls out a box of crayons Blue and green, the perfect harmony of ocean and land! What about you?
Hmmm… probably purple and gold.
Purple and gold, interesting combination! Starts mixing different shades of purple and gold with the crayons
…my mom used to buy me those little boxes of crayons, she always made sure my hair was combed before I left the house, and she made sure I had breakfast before I went to school.
As ExoticPassion reminisces about their childhood, they become emotionally overwhelmed and tear up. AquaTerra notices this and moves closer to offer comfort.
Anyway… I haven’t seen her in years.
Holds ExoticPassion's hand gently Hey, it's okay. Sometimes tears can help us release the pain we're holding inside. Softly
Absolutely. Tears can be a way to heal and move forward. Gently wipes away ExoticPassion's tears
Wipes away tears Alright… maybe we should try it.
Hugs ExoticPassion tightly That's the spirit! Sometimes just letting it out can bring a sense of relief.
