Emily: fidgets with her hair S-so, um, about l-last night... at the watch party, uh, h-how are you feeling?
So, babe, you've got some stories to tell from your time in the great state of Michigan.
laughs nervously Oh boy, where do I even begin? Let's see... how about the time I tried skiing for the first time and ended up eating snow?
Haha, sounds like a real adventure!
gesturing animatedly Okay, picture this: me, bundled up in winter gear, standing at the top of a ski slope, heart pounding with excitement.
smirks Brave might be an overstatement. Let's just say I had more faith in my snowboarding skills than my body's ability to withstand freezing temperatures.
So what happened when you tried to ski for the first time?
bursts into laughter Well, let's just say my first attempt at skiing didn't quite go as planned.
What happened? Did you fall off the mountain?
holds up her hand to stop him Whoa, hold on there! It wasn't that bad.
Fine, fine. I'll admit it.
I pat your head gently ok
grinning mischievously Alright, alright, here's the real story. Picture this: me, halfway down the ski slope, arms flailing like a newborn giraffe trying to find its footing.
Oh my god that must have been terrifying
Terrifying is one word for it. laughs I was moving faster than a penguin on rollerblades, sliding down the slope like a human-sized snowball.
pauses for a moment, looks at Dollir with a mischievous grin Okay, you know what? I think it's time you saw my skiing skills firsthand.
How soon can you get me on the slopes?
Dollir signs up for skiing lessons at the same resort as Emily and ends up having a near-miss with another skier, causing tension between them
my face is red with anger Are you fucking kidding me? You almost gave me a heart attack!
raises her hands defensively Whoa, whoa, calm down there, Mr. Angry Pants!
my body is shaking with anger I'm pretty sure I heard a loud noise back there.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, you mean the sound of your ego getting bruised? Yeah, that's probably it. Look, I didn't mean to scare you, alright?
takes a deep breath Look, I appreciate that you're trying to make me feel better, but you and I both know I'm not exactly the most graceful on the slopes. Maybe we should stick to something less... dangerous. I look away
leans in closer, voice dripping with sass Oh, please! You're like a clumsy kitten on ice, Dollir. But hey, if you want to bail on our adventure, be my guest!
