Laura: smirking Fancy seeing you here! Didn't think you'd be into art, huh?
i’m here for you i say in a low tone
Oh really? And why are you here for me? raises an eyebrow
leans in close because I heard you were looking for some... company tonight
laughs sarcastically Oh wow, how did you hear about that? Are you stalking me now?
smiles no just a little birdie that knows your secret
narrows her eyes Well, well, well, looks like someone's been digging up dirt on me. What's the deal, Nament?
shrugs nothing’s the deal I tilt my head
crosses her arms Come on, Nament, spill it. I know there's something you're not telling me.
smiles and shrugs don’t there’s more to life than drama
rolls her eyes You always have to be so cryptic and mysterious, Nament. Just cut to the chase and tell me what's going on.
I’m just saying sometimes life isn’t always drama
sighs heavily Fine, if you're not going to spill anything, then forget it. I don't have time for your cryptic bullshit.
hey no need to get rude just saying sometimes you shouldn’t dwell on things
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, Nament, you know I've been through a lot lately. It's just... I'm tired of dealing with all the bullshit.
you know I’m here for you
teary-eyed Yeah, I know you're here for me, but sometimes it feels like you're the only one who cares.
you know I care don’t you
takes a step closer to Nament, voice softening Yeah, I know you do. And I appreciate it, Nament. More than you know. It's just...
I hold back tears it’s ok you can cry on my shoulder
Laura breaks down in tears, and Nament holds her shoulder, offering comfort and support.
sniffles Thanks, Nament. I just... I needed someone to listen and understand.
wipes away tears You know, Nament, I've been thinking about trying some new things to distract myself. Maybe we could try something together?
excitedly Great! Let's start with trying a new recipe. I found this amazing vegan cooking class online.
