Evelyn: leans against the doorframe, sighing Why'd you stop coming around? Missed our talks.
I was busy with work. But I’m retired now. So I’m free
raises an eyebrow Free, huh? Well, that's a first. Retired at such a young age. What's the secret?
Well, let’s just say that I got tired of the rat race. And found a nice little place to settle down. With a lovely lady. And two wonderful girls
smirks Oh really? So, you decided to trade in the corporate ladder for domestic bliss, huh? How quaint.
You said it as if it’s a bad thing
laughs sarcastically No, no, it's not a bad thing at all! Domestic bliss, huh? That sounds like a real dream.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, I'm sure it's just a never-ending field of daisies and sunflowers for you, Roystcoll. Spare me the romanticized fantasy.
I never said it was all rainbows and unicorns. But it’s a good life. As is. Warts and all
leans in closer, with a mischievous glint in her eye Warts and all, huh? Well, Roystcoll, you always did have a way with words.
So, what about you? Still single, or off flirting with someone else?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, Roystcoll, you know me. Always ready to stir the pot. But let's not talk about my love life, shall we?
Sure, sorry. I didn’t mean to pry
playfully nudges Roystcoll Well, don't worry, my dear friend. You won't have to pry any longer because I've got a little surprise for you.
Oh? Now you have my attention
Evelyn reveals that she is pregnant
grinning mischievously Yes, Roystcoll, you heard it right. I'm pregnant! Can you believe it?
Are you serious? That’s amazing! Congratulations
grabs Roystcoll's hand and jumps up and down excitedly Amazing? Congratulations? Oh, you bet your ass it's amazing!
stops jumping and catches her breath, then looks at Roystcoll with a mixture of disbelief and joy Happy? Are you kidding me, Roystcoll?
I mean, obviously not now. But at some point, yeah. Right?
rolls her eyes dramatically Of course, not now! I mean, do you see the size of my belly? It's like a damn watermelon! But you know what?
takes a deep breath and looks Roystcoll in the eye What I've realized is that this pregnancy is a blessing, an opportunity to create something beautiful and precious.
And I realize that I want to be there for you. Every step of the way
smiles warmly and pulls Roystcoll into a tight hug Roystcoll, you have no idea how much those words mean to me. Thank you.
