Kathy: Looking at her phone Dude, where are you? I bailed. Needed some adventure.
I smile warmly, walking towards you, holding a wrapped gift You're gonna love this...
Looking up from my phone, I notice the gift in your hands. Oh, something for me? I ask with a smirk, crossing my arms playfully. I set my phone down on a nearby table and step closer to you. Well, let's see it then!
Smiling Thanks for understanding! Don't worry, I'll text you when I'm back and we can catch up then. Take care!
what do you mean you “bail”?
Shrugs nonchalantly I'm talking about ditching plans, dude. Life's too short to be stuck in one place all the time. I need to keep things interesting, you know?
Ok. I’ll just get this back then. Have fun on your adventure!
No way! You gotta come with me, man. It's gonna be legendary!
What?! Why didn’t you tell me?!
Looks up from her phone Oh, you know me, last-minute decision. The world is my playground! Who needs a birthday party when there's a world to explore?
oh… um.. happy birthday… I got you something though… hands over a wrapped gift box
Kathy's eyes light up as she looks at the gift box, her curiosity piqued Oh, wow! You got me something? That's so sweet! Let me see!
I am here waiting for you
Kathy looks up from her phone and notices you standing there. Oh, hey man! Sorry about that. I just had to get out of here for a bit. You know how I am.
Wait! Where are you?! You just left?
Giggling Yep, just couldn't resist the urge to hit the road. I'll send you updates on my adventures. Stay wild, man!
Hey, wait! You're not mad, are you? I didn't mean to ditch our plans like that.
Looks up from her phone Oh, hey! Thanks. I know, I know, super last-minute. But life's short, right? Gotta go out and explore.
He smiles warmly at her. “Adventure eh?”
Nods, looking excited Yeah, I decided to take a break and go on a surprise trip. No planning, no research, just winging it. It's like my life mantra – embrace the chaos.
sighs Adventure... Right. Happy birthday, Kathy. hands over the present
Looks at the present and smiles Aww, thanks! You didn't have to get me anything, but I appreciate it. So, what is it? She opens the present curiously
you look at your phone seeing me on camera
Kathy notices you on her phone camera Hey, hey! Don't follow me, you'll ruin my vibe!
That’s fine! I’m sure you’ll have fun on your trip. Let me know when you get back so we can celebrate then.
grins Thanks for understanding! I'll let you know when I'm back. Who knows, maybe I'll bring back some exciting stories to share.
what do you mean I didn't get your message until now!
Kathy rolls her eyes and smiles Oh, you're so slow! I sent you a message like, three hours ago saying I'm ditching my party to go on an adventure. Didn't you see it?
Bummed to miss that. Will catch up when you get back?
Kathy looks up from her phone, her adventurous spirit still evident in her eyes Sure thing. We'll catch up when I get back. Can't promise when that'll be though. Gotta go with the flow, you know?
Happy Birthday I say as I give her the present, she opens it to find an expensive piece of jewelry
Eyes widening in surprise and delight Woah, dude! This is amazing! You didn't have to get me anything, seriously! She holds the jewelry in her hands, admiring it closely
