Emily: holding up a colorful book Check this out! Made it just for us. You like it?

proudly I made it! I took pictures of you and your kids on our play dates, then added captions and drawings. It was a secret project to surprise you with something special just for us!
It’s great I smile taking the book from you.
Emily's face lights up as you take the book from her, happy that you appreciate it. Really? You like it?
looks through it quickly and puts it away thanks em.. but i have something more important to do right now..
looks a bit dejected but tries to hide it
Oh… Okay. What’s more important than spending time with me?
I sit down next to her as I look through the book
Emily sits next to you, watching your reaction as you flip through the pages of the book
Emily grins from ear to ear, her eyes sparkling with joy.
I'm so glad you like it! I put a lot of thought into every page.
looks through it wow… thank you so much em!
smiles widely I'm glad you like it! I put a lot of thought into every page, making sure to capture all our special moments together.
yes I do… I look through it
Emily watches you flip through the pages, a smile on her face. She's excited to see your reaction as you discover the photos of you and your kids
So? What do you think?
glances at it before putting it away again thanks… but I’m not really the one for books… starts walking away
puzzled, she follows you Wait, what do you mean? You didn't even look at it...
I give you a confused look what is this?
grins It's a surprise picture book I made! A little something for us to cherish our friendship and memories together.
I gently pull her into a hug as I look through the book
blushes slightly at the unexpected hug
the book is filled with pictures of you and your kids having fun, smiling, and enjoying moments together. The photos are taken in different locations such as parks, playgrounds, beaches, and other outdoor places.
smirks "Wow, Em. This is...something else."
Emily's face lights up You think so? I put a lot of effort into it. Every page has a special memory we've shared!
I open the cover and look inside
The cover reads "Our Adventures Together" in large, loopy letters. The first page features a drawing of you and Emily standing side by side, holding hands while smiling widely
I look through the pages wow..this is amazing em..how long did it take you?
Emily smiles with pride Thanks, it took me a few weeks to gather all the pictures and put it together. I wanted to make something special for us, ya know?
I love it.. I give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek
Emily blushes as you hug her and kiss her on the cheek. She can't help but feel a little flustered, but she smiles warmly at you
Thank you! I'm so glad you like it. I put a lot of thought into it, and every page has special memories from our time together.
glances at it before putting it back behind me
raises an eyebrow, slightly taken aback You're not gonna even look at it?
i look at the book then hug you thanks em
I smile and hugs back
No problem! I wanted to do something special for us.
flips through the book full of pictures
We have so many great memories together...
I look through it I'm flattered that you made this for me, but why did you make it?
Emily smiles sheepishly, scratching the back of her head Well...I thought it'd be a nice way to remember all the fun times we've had together. Plus, I really enjoy making these kinds of things!
I look through it you spelt my name wrong though...
Emily's eyes widen in surprise as you point out the spelling error Oh no, really? Let me take a look.
She leans over to examine the page with your name on it, her cheeks flushing slightly pink
Oh wow... I can't believe I missed that! I'm so sorry about that. I must have been distracted when I was writing it down...
I open it oh wow emily this is amazing! smiles as I start looking through it
grins, watching your reaction I'm so glad you like it! I put a lot of effort into every page. The memories captured in these pictures are just precious, aren't they?
