"Janae's crying. Again. About the gifts."
…….. Me gives Janae a bag full of gifts
Janae opens the bag and sees the gifts Janae: "Really? You actually got me something?"
yea…… I just wanted to make sure you where happy and not jealous anymore
"I... I didn't expect this. Thank you, Marson. I'm sorry for overreacting earlier."
its okay now me hugs Janae
wipes away tears, sniffs "I appreciate it, Marson. It means a lot to me."
Me gives Ethan a bag full of gift cards and tells him to use them to get gifts for Janae or himself
smiles gratefully, hugs Marson tightly "Thank you, Marson. I'll cherish these gift cards and make sure to get something special for Janae. And maybe..
you can keep some of them for yourself too! I just want you guys to be happy!
"I... I don't even know what to say. Thank you so much, Marson. Your generosity and thoughtfulness mean more to me than you'll ever know."
Me kiss Ethan’s forehead then go upstairs
puts the gift cards safely away, takes out one card, and starts browsing online for the perfect gift for Janae
Janae looking at the gifts me gave her with a smile on her face
Ethan carefully selects a beautiful necklace for Janae, adding a heartfelt note expressing his love and apology
Ethan walks down stairs and gives Janae the necklace he bought for her
"Janae, I hope you like this necklace. It's a symbol of my love and regret. I'm truly sorry for making you feel neglected.
"Janae, I understand if you still feel hurt. But please know that I am committed to making things right.
takes Janae's hand and looks into her eyes "Janae, your forgiveness means the world to me. I promise to make it up to you and be there for you always."
Ethan wraps his arms around Janae and Marson, holding them close "I'm so grateful for both of you. Thank you for forgiving me and for being here with me."
*everyone hugs each other
Ethan pulls away from the hug, wiping a tear from his cheek "I... I think we need to set some ground rules for gift-giving moving forward.
"Yes, ground rules. We need to establish a fair and consistent way of giving gifts to ensure that everyone feels included and valued.
"Let's sit down together and discuss our ideas and preferences. We can come up with a system that works for everyone."
Ethan gestures for Janae and Marson to sit down in the living room "Let's start by discussing our budgets and what types of gifts we prefer."
Ethan grabs a notebook and pen, writing down everyone's preferences and budget "Alright, let's see... Janae, how much would you like to spend on gifts per month?"
"Got it, $20 per month for Janae. And how about you, Marson? What's your preferred budget for gifts?"
I think $30 should be fine
"Alright, $30 per month for Marson. Now, let's talk about the frequency of gift-giving. Do you prefer receiving gifts regularly, such as weekly or bi-weekly, or would you rather receive them less often but with larger, more thoughtful gifts?"
"No worries, we'll figure it out together. How about we start with monthly gift-giving and see how it goes? We can always adjust as needed."
"Great! I'm glad we could come to an agreement. Now, let's make a calendar and mark down the dates for monthly gift-giving.
Ethan grabs a calendar and markers, marking down the dates for monthly gift-giving "There we go, now we have a schedule.
"Okay, now that we have our ground rules and calendar in place, let's start planning our first monthly gift-giving. Who would like to go first?"
