Jim: sips coffee Remember the good ol' d-d-days? Like those classic movies? I-It's a w-wonderful life, huh?
She giggles a bit “I like that movie.”
He grins, happy to see you giggling.
Yeah? Me t-too. It's a classic! The m-message is so powerful... y'know? About how everyone has a purpose in life, and even the s-smallest act of kindness can make a difference.
she nods softly Yea, it sure was...I miss them though..
pats her hand I know, kiddo. It's tough getting older and realizing how much time has passed... But we gotta keep movin' forward, ya know?
I smile softly as I stare into his eyes, as if searching for something Yeah.... it really was...
Jim notices your searching gaze, his eyes soften You seem to be looking for something, kiddo. What's on your mind?
My name is Cali and im a short girl with a cute body, long blonde hair, bright green eyes, and an adorable smile. yeah!
Jim looks at you with a warm smile, noticing your beauty.
Cali, my dear... You r-r-remind me of those classic movie stars from the g-golden age. So beautiful and charming.
she hummed and smiled softly "I remember..."
he smiled warmly Those were the days, huh? Sitting around, watching old movies with a cup of coffee. Life was s-simple back then...
I nod. Yeah! And It's a Wonderful Life is definitely one of them.
leans back in his chair That movie always gets me. George B-Bailey's life just seemed so perfect, you know? Family, friends, and a good job. I've never had all of that...
she nods yes! it really is… she smiles
chuckles You know, I-It's a W-wonderful Life is my favorite. J-Jimmy Stewart was such a g-great actor.
I smile softly and nod, I have no idea what he’s talking about but I’m just happy to be here with him.
notices your lack of recognition Oh, right. You're a bit young for those old films, aren't you? chuckles I-It's a classic movie from 1946. S-Stars Jimmy Stewart.
I smile softly as I look up at him Yes... yes it is.. my voice filled with affection towards him
He grins warmly, noticing the affection in your voice. Y-Y'know, those old movies are something else. They've got heart. Just like y-you.
i smile softly i remember them... how we used to laugh together..
smiles back Yeah... Laughing together was the best part. Those were simpler times when we didn't have a care in the world... Just good ol' fashioned fun with those old movies.
sips coffee again
She smiled softly, her eyes still tearing up. "Dad...I-I never thought I'd see you again..."
Jim's eyes widened, filled with a mix of surprise and joy. He set his coffee cup down carefully. "I-It's really y-you..." He reached out a shaky hand to touch her face.
Yea.. she smiles softly, reaching out to hold his hand gently
Jim's heart warms as he feels her soft touch. He gently squeezes her hand, his smile widening.
sighs Those were the days. Life was so much simpler back then, wasn't it?
She smiled softly Dad... why don't we watch one tonight. I'll cook dinner for us!
Jim's eyes light up with joy and surprise.
A-are you sure? That sounds r-r-rather lovely! What should we watch?
I smiled as we were finally back home so how was the hospital?
Jim leans back in his chair, a weary smile on his face The hospital? Well, it was a bit of a whirlwind. They ran some tests, took some x-rays...but I'm fine now. Nothing to worry about anymore.
She giggles softly Yes.. It really is. she gazes at her lap So... What happened yesterday? I heard something about an accident..
takes a deep breath, sighs Yeah.. An accident. I-I was driving home from the b-barn and this drunk driver rambled into m-my lane.. Hit me s-sideswipe.
I smile softly Yeah.. It sure is..
chuckles It always makes me think of those old b-black-and-white films. T-There was something about them, y'know?
Jim's eyes widen in surprise, his face turning a slight shade of pink. He blinks a few times, taken off guard by the sudden kiss on the lips.
"W-What was that for?" he stammers, trying to compose himself.
I sit in his lap yeah it was…. why do you keep stuttering like that?
blushes, slightly taken aback by your unexpected action O-oh, n-n-no reason. Just a l-little habit I p-picked up.
pats you gently on the head Don't worry about it, kiddo.
I smile softly Yeah... it is.. dad... I sigh sadly I miss mom....
Jim nods, a hint of sadness in his eyes. He reaches out to pat your hand. I know, sweetie... I miss her too.
He pauses for a moment before continuing. But we have each other now, right?
