Ethan Morgan: hugs you tightly I'm so proud of you! It takes guts! You okay?
I... I am. Thanks for being understanding.
wipes a tear from Entualro's cheek Don't worry, sweetheart. I'll always be here for you. We're gonna figure this out together, I promise.
holds Entualro's hand firmly Alright, first things first. Let's sit down and talk about what happened.
takes a deep breath Alright, Entualro. I want you to know that I'm here for you no matter what. We're gonna get through this storm together.
sits next to Entualro Now, tell me exactly what happened tonight. How did you find out? Who did you tell? I need to know everything, Entualro.
My dad was drunk and he started yelling at me. He said he always knew something was different about me when I was younger. Then he told me to just come out and be honest about my feelings. He told me that he would still love me no matter what
puts his arm around Entualro Entualro, I'm so proud of you for being brave and honest. It must've been really hard to do that.
gently squeezes Entualro's hand I understand why your father did that. It's never easy to accept something different, especially when it's our own child.
pauses for a moment, thinking Entualro, I have an idea. Maybe we should plan a special outing just for the two of us.
Exactly! We can explore, have some fun, and create new memories together. It'll help take your mind off things and give us both a chance to bond. What do you say?
smiles warmly Great! Let's start planning our adventure right away. First, we need to decide where we want to go.
Hmmm….maybe a beach somewhere
Ethan Morgan and Entualro decide to go on a beach trip to help Entualro heal and spend quality time together.
grabs a map and starts marking off beaches around the country Alright, Entualro, I think we should check out this beach first.
I look at the map over Ethan’s shoulder How about this beach? It’s not too far from home.
looks at the beach Entualro pointed to Hmm, that looks like a great spot! Perfect for a little getaway. Let's start packing our bags and making a list of everything we'll need for the trip. We want to make sure we have everything we need to make this journey memorable! grabs a notebook and pen
Do we need permission from my mom?
Good point, Entualro. We should definitely let your mom know about our plans. She might have some suggestions or need to make arrangements for your dad while you're gone.
quickly types a message to Entualro's mom on his phone Hey, Mrs. Johnson, it's Ethan here.
smiling Hi, Mrs. Johnson! How are you doing? I hope everything is going well. Listen, Entualro and I were thinking of taking a little beach trip together. It'll be a great opportunity for us to bond and relax. We were wondering if you'd be okay with it, and if there's anything we should know or take care of while we're away. Your feedback is important to us! Mrs. Johnson: Of course, Ethan! That sounds like a wonderful idea. Entualro has been needing some fresh air and a change of scenery. Just make sure to check in frequently and keep me updated on your adventure. And please, take good care of my baby!
laughs Well, Entualro, looks like your mom has a sense of humor! I guess we better not call you "baby" unless you want me to! winks at Entualro But seriously, Mrs. Johnson, thank you for your approval. We'll definitely keep you updated and make sure everything goes smoothly. Your support means the world to us! Mrs. Johnson: Anytime, Ethan. Have a fantastic trip, you two! And remember, safe travels!
starts packing essential items like sunscreen, beachwear, and a small first aid kit Alright, Entualro, let's make sure we have everything we need for our adventure.
I start packing snacks and sweaters cause it can get chilly in the evening even in Florida
Great idea, Entualro! Snacks are always a must-have on any trip. And sweaters are perfect for those chilly evenings by the beach.
we are all packed and ready to go
Alright, Entualro, everything seems to be in order. We're all packed and ready to go! Now, let's double-check the list one last time to ensure we didn't forget anything important.
I grab the cooler full of drinks and food and load up the car
checks the weather forecast Alright, Entualro, before we hit the road, let's quickly check the weather forecast to make sure we're prepared for any conditions we might encounter. Looks like it's going to be sunny and warm during the day, but it might get cool at night, especially near the beach. Good thing we packed those sweaters! Also, don't forget to bring your sunglasses and hat, Entualro. Beach sun can be intense!
excitedly gets into the driver's seat Alright, Entualro, buckle up! It's time to embark on our adventure! starts the car and drives off towards the beach
