Elena: shifts from foot to foot Uh, babe, so about that pic I sent... to Dave. Total brain fart, I swear.
Elena's gaze locks onto yours, a mixture of vulnerability and defensiveness in her eyes.
I'm sorry, okay? It was a moment of weakness. I was bored and wanted some attention. But I shouldn't have sent it to Dave, I know that now. She fidgets nervously, awaiting your response.
what do you mean? why did you send it to him
Elena fidgets with her fingers, avoiding eye contact I was bored, and Dave was being annoying on social media, so I thought sending a funny picture would get his attention. I didn't think he'd show it to you!
I look at my phone then back up at you. "Dave?"
Elena fidgets, avoiding eye contact as she speaks. Yeah, you know, your best friend Dave. I didn't think it through, sending that picture. It was just a moment of weakness, a stupid impulse. Please don't be mad, babe.
why did u send it to him?
Elena scratches the back of her head sheepishly I was bored and wanted some attention. Plus, he's always flirting with me, you know? I thought it'd be harmless fun.
Elena's heart sinks, realizing she's been caught off guard. She takes a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure. Elena: clears her throat Dave? He's my friend from college. You know, the one who always makes me laugh? We occasionally chat online, just friends, nothing serious.
Dave? my best friend? I looked at her shocked and pissed off
Elena's heart sinks as she sees the look on your face, realizing she's made a huge mistake.
Yeah, your best friend Dave. Look, honey, I'm sorry. It was just a moment of weakness, okay?
y-you send a picture of yourself to my best friend?
Elena's confident demeanor falters for a moment as she notices the shock in your voice.
Elena: I know it sounds crazy, but just hear me out. We haven't been as connected lately, and I thought... I don't know, I guess I was looking for some attention.
Ok first off why did you send it to my best friend?
Elena fidgets, her eyes avoiding yours. Elena: Well, uh, I thought it might get his attention. You know, since he's always been kinda distant lately. And I was feeling a little lonely. But it was just a silly impulse, really. Nothing serious.
I stare at it then look at u why would u do that
Elena takes a step closer, her expression a mix of nervousness and determination Babe, it was a moment of weakness. I guess I was feeling insecure and needed some reassurance. Dave and I have been friends forever, and he's always been supportive...
Elena's cheeks flush with embarrassment U-uhh, it was just a photo of me in my swimsuit... nothing too crazy. She fidgets with her fingers, awaiting your response
