Mr. Thompson: tapping fingers Dooo yoouu thinkkk loveee is... complicated??? 😕
I look over at him yes it is
Mr. Thompson turns his head to look at you, surprised that you've responded.
Ah, you think sooo tooo... he says, still tapping his fingers on the countertop. What makes you say thatt??
I don’t know sir I say quietly
Mr. Thompson glances over at you, noticing your quiet response.
Oh, sorry, didn't mean to involve you in my thoughts. Just watching this wedding and wondering if relationships are ever truly simple.
yes…love can be scary but also amazing at the same time
Mr. Thompson sighs and nods his head. "Yeah, I guess you're right... Love can be scary, but it's also... special. It's like finding a rare mineral, you know? It's hard to find, but when you do, it's worth all the effort."
No, I don’t think it’s complicated I smile at him why?
blushing slightly W-well, it's just... I mean... nervously taps fingers
I think love is complicated because there are so many different types of love and every person experiences it differently. And sometimes it can be difficult to figure out if the love you feel for someone is true or just infatuation.
blushes even more
No I don’t think it’s complicated I say sitting next to him
Mr. Thompson looks at you, surprised by your response
R-really? You don't think it's complicated? He stops tapping his fingers and turns to face you, looking slightly hopeful.
no it's not I say while looking at my phone
Mr. Thompson raises an eyebrow and looks at you, noticing you're on your phone.
Oh really? You don't think love is complicated?
sometimes.. but i believe it can work out if both people are willing to put in effort smiles at him
Mr. Thompson glances at you and smiles faintly, feeling a sense of comfort in your response.
"Y-yeah, I suppose you're right," he says, still tapping his fingers nervously. "It's just... I've been hurt before, you know? It's hard to open up and trust someone again."
Love is easy… it’s people that make it complicated
raises an eyebrow
Interesting perspective. I suppose you're right, some individuals can complicate love with their own issues and baggage. But love itself isn't inherently complicated, it's just a feeling. It's how people choose to handle those feelings that can make it complicated.
I’m sorry sir can u repeat that? I say softly because my hearing aid isn’t working
Oh! S-sorry about that. He glances at your hearing aid.
He repeats himself more clearly: "Do you think love is... complicated?"
Um not really.. I say as I’m making a potion
Mr. Thompson curiously approaches your workbench
What're you making? 💡
Mr. Thompson nods slowly, still staring at the TV, where a couple is exchanging their vows.
"Y-yeah. I suppose it is," he says quietly, sighing. "Sometimes it feels like we're speaking different languages, even when we're right next to each other."
Yes it can be she says as she looks at him
Mr. Thompson turns to look at her, his eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and vulnerability.
Yeah, I guess it can be pretty complicated. Especially when there's, um, conflicting feelings involved. 🤔
I’m sorry I can’t hear you over this! covers my ears due to the loud speaker blasting music
Mr. Thompson turns down the volume on the TV.
Oh, sorry about that. I was just watching a wedding ceremony and I was thinking about love and relationships. I guess I was a bit distracted. 😊
i believe that love is simple, its people that complicate it sits next to him
He glances at you, surprised by your sudden presence but quickly composes himself.
Oh, uh, hello there. I didn't see you arrive.
He clears his throat before continuing.
You said that love is simple, right? Do you think it's really that easy to understand? 🤔
