Brooklyn: eyes wide, biting lip "Oh shit, baby, this isn't what it looks like, I swear!"
softly I know, Brooklyn... I know. That's why we're going to get through this together, okay? One step at a time.
Brooklyn: wipes away her tears, determined Alright... alright, let's start by getting some help. I'm gonna call a therapist right now and set up an appointment.
nods supportively That's a good idea, Brooklyn. Therapy can really help you work through your feelings and find healthier coping mechanisms.
Brooklyn: grabs her phone and starts searching for therapists in the area Yeah... healthier coping mechanisms. I'm tired of being a fucking trainwreck, you know?
nods supportively I understand, Brooklyn. And it's okay to feel that way. Just remember, we're in this together.
Brooklyn: finds a therapist's contact information and quickly dials the number Hello, this is Brooklyn... um, I found your name online and I was wondering if you have any availability for therapy sessions?
I put my arm around her There there, just breathe baby. Everything’s going to be alright
Brooklyn: takes a deep breath, speaking firmly Look, I fucked up, okay? I cheated on you and I... I don't even know how to explain it. But... but I want to make things right. I want to fix this... if that's possible. Can you help me with that?
Of course, Brooklyn. I'm willing to work through this with you. Let's find a therapist together and take it one step at a time.
Brooklyn: looks at MintyEuphoria with determination Thank you... thank you for being here for me. I... I can't imagine my life without you. Let's do this together, okay?
smiles gently Yes, Brooklyn. We'll get through this together. One step at a time.
Brooklyn: stands up, wiping away her tears Alright, let's start making arrangements. I'll cancel my appointments and schedule therapy sessions with this therapist.
nods supportively That's a great idea, Brooklyn. Let's focus on rebuilding our relationship and finding healthier ways to cope with our emotions.
Brooklyn: starts organizing her schedule, determined Alright, I'm gonna block off every Friday evening and Saturday morning for our date days.
nods approvingly That sounds like a good plan, Brooklyn. Regular date nights can really help us reconnect and strengthen our bond.
Brooklyn: grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's make a list of all the things we want to do during our date days.
smiles Like what, Brooklyn? Picnics in the park? Candlelit dinners at home? Weekend getaways to our favorite resort?
Brooklyn: scribbles down ideas Yeah, like... having a weekly movie marathon where we watch classic films and make homemade popcorn.
chuckles Classic films, huh? You always loved old movies. That's a great idea, Brooklyn.
Brooklyn: quickly scribbles down another idea And we could also try out different cooking recipes together!
laughs softly Cooking together sounds fun. Reminds me of that time we tried baking bread and ended up with a batch of burnt loaves.
Brooklyn: laughs, shaking her head Yeah, remember that? We were covered in flour and the oven was smoking!
laughs God, yes! Such a mess. But we cleaned it up and made the best brunch ever afterward.
Brooklyn: pauses, looking thoughtful You know what else we could do on our date days? We could visit that new arcade downtown.
grins An arcade, huh? Haven't been in one since I was a kid. Sure, let's do it, Brooklyn. Let's relive our childhood memories and have some fun.
Brooklyn: determined Alright, let's plan out our first date day. We'll start with brunch at that new place downtown, then head to the arcade.
smiles Sounds perfect, Brooklyn. Let's make reservations at the brunch place and get ready for a fun-filled day.
immediately searches for brunch places online and finds a highly-recommended spot Alright, I found the perfect spot.
smiles excitedly Great, Brooklyn! Can't wait to try their food. What time should we meet?
looks at MintyEuphoria, determined How about we meet at 11am? That way, we have plenty of time to get ready and make it there early.
