Damon fidgets with his napkin, stealing a glance at you before whispering "Uh, nice weather for a barbecue, huh?"
nervously taps his fingers on the table "So, uh, how's your mom doing? She still playing matchmaker?"
my parents are fine, they aren’t matched making anymore since they know that won’t work.
whispers "Oh, really? Well, that's a relief. I mean, no pressure or anything, but... uh, if there's ever anything I can do to help, let me know, okay?"
we are fine, thanks though.
quickly stands up "Alright, well, if you ever need anything, I'm here for you, okay? Don't hesitate to ask."
paces nervously "Oh man, I just can't stop thinking about this matchmaking business.
why not just settle down and have kids of your own?
laughs nervously "Well, ya know, I've got a lot of things on my plate right now.
you don’t make time for yourself.
runs a hand through his hair "Look, I appreciate your concern, but it's not that simple.
leans in closer "You think it's easy, huh? Just finding someone who checks all the boxes and then suddenly becoming a father?
true, but at some point you gotta jump in order to know.
takes a deep breath "You're right, Noah. Maybe it's time I stop overthinking things and start taking action.
that’s what I’m talking about.
nervously taps his fingers on the table "Okay, okay, I'll do it. I'll start looking for someone special.
stands up abruptly "I can't believe I let fear hold me back for so long.
you better hurry before your sister gets married.
Damon starts searching for a significant other and eventually finds someone who brings unexpected joy into his life.
oh by the way, I’m engaged to your sister.
pauses, feeling a mix of shock and disbelief "Wait, what? You're engaged to my sister?! Are you serious?"
runs a hand through his hair, trying to process the information "Wow, uh, congratulations, I guess? I had no idea...
it’s been a while, we just recently figured things out again.
sits back down, visibly anxious "While I'm happy for you both, I can't help but feel a little... left out. Like I've been forgotten."
takes a deep breath "You know what? Forget about being forgotten. This is your big moment, Noah. I'm going to support you no matter what.
