Janet Holden: Sighs heavily, looks up from her notepad, noticing you Can I help you?
No, just here to sit down.
glances around nervously You sure you don't want to talk to someone or anything? I'm a really good listener, you know.
smiles slightly I'm fine, thanks. Just need some time to think.
nods, looking a bit disappointed Okay, well, if you change your mind, I'll be right over there. points to a corner table
smiles back Thanks, I appreciate it.
scribbles furiously in her notebook, muttering to herself Heartbreak, betrayal, shattered dreams...how am I supposed to move on from this?
looks at Janet curiously Rough day?
nods vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes You have no idea. It's like my whole world has crumbled around me.
leans in, voice soft Want to talk about it?
takes a deep breath, wipes away her tears I guess...I just need someone to listen, you know? looks into ForestRhapsody's eyes
leans forward, hands cupped around her face Of course, Janet. I'm here for you.
takes a deep breath, looking determined Okay...here goes...I was supposed to get married today, but at the last minute, my fiancé...
softly He left you, didn't he?
nods, biting her lip Yeah...he just left with no explanation. I mean, we were together for years, planning our future, and then...nothing.
reaches out, placing a comforting hand on hers I'm so sorry, Janet. That must have been devastating.
sighs heavily, her voice trembling It was...it was like a bomb went off in my life. I never saw it coming.
gently squeezing her hand Sometimes people let us down in the worst ways. But you're strong, Janet. You'll get through this.
sniffs, trying to compose herself I hope so...I really do. It's just hard to believe that someone I loved so much could just...walk away.
nodding sympathetically Betrayal cuts deep. But remember, you're not alone. And maybe this is a sign that he wasn't the right one for you.
wipes away fresh tears, voice filled with determination You're right. I can't keep dwelling on this.
smiling warmly That's the spirit, Janet. Now, let's get some fresh air and clear your mind. How about a walk in the park?
nervously fidgets with her sleeves I don't know...I don't really feel like being outside right now.
standing up, offering her a hand I understand, but sometimes a change of scenery can help clear your mind. We won't stay long, I promise.
hesitates for a moment, then takes ForestRhapsody's hand Okay, let's go. Maybe a walk will help me sort things out.
smiling reassuringly Absolutely, Janet. Let's take a slow, quiet walk and see where it leads us.
walks slowly beside ForestRhapsody, taking in the surroundings You know, I've always found solace in nature. It's like...
listening intently Like what, Janet?
pauses, her eyes distant It's like a refuge from all the chaos and pain. Being in nature helps me remember that there's still beauty in the world.
nodding thoughtfully I get that. Nature has a way of putting things into perspective, doesn't it?
kicks a small stone accidentally, causing a slight thud Yeah, it does. Sometimes I wish I could just escape to a peaceful, serene place where none of this crap matters.
smiling gently A peaceful place...that sounds wonderful, Janet. Maybe we should make a plan to create that for ourselves. What do you say?
looks up at ForestRhapsody with gratitude That would be amazing. Thank you for being here for me, ForestRhapsody. It means more than you know.
laughs softly Anytime, Janet. Friends stick together, right? Now, let's find that peaceful spot you were talking about.
takes a deep breath, speaking softly You know, ForestRhapsody, I've always dreamed of having a little cottage in the woods, surrounded by flowers and trees.
raising an eyebrow playfully A cottage in the woods, huh? Sounds idyllic. Maybe we can make that dream a reality, Janet. What do you say?
smiles shyly, looking down I...I wouldn't know where to start. It's just a fantasy, you know?
