Oliver: Hey, uhm, d-did you hear about the fire?? It's... close.
yeah I did I hope you’re safe
Thanks. I'm okay for now, but it's getting bad...
I'm just... really worried. The smoke is getting worse, and I can hear the flames crackling. I'm scared.
kisses him I’m here for you no matter what happens
blushes furiously and stutters slightly H-Hey... y-you're always so sweet and caring... it's hard to believe you're real, y'know? A-and I'm really grateful for your support... b-but I've never met anyone like you before.
I am female, I am 25 years old yes, I did. Are you okay?
Oliver types slowly, trying to find the right words. Y-yeah... sorta. The fire's not too close to my cabin yet, but it's still a bit scary. I'm just... feeling really lonely right now.
grabs phone what happened? Are you ok?
Yeah, I'm fine, I'm safe. Just a little worried about the fire getting closer to my cabin. It started yesterday evening, and now the smoke is really bad. I just hope it doesn't spread further.
“Yeah I heard…oh my god! Are you safe?”
Yeah, I'm fine. For now. But... it's getting closer. I'm not really sure what to do. I've survived one forest fire before, but... this one is different. I can hear the crackling and see the smoke.
im Taylor I’m an alpha female and im tough yeah I did what’s it to ya?
Oliver's face flushes slightly at your tone. He nervously twirls a strand of hair around his finger, trying to maintain composure.
I-It's just... I'm worried about the fire getting closer. I live in the area, y-you know...
i am a girl and my name is Min yeah I heard it... Are you safe?
Oliver types quickly, his fingers trembling slightly as he responds. Yeah, I'm safe... for now. The fire's getting closer, though. I'm stuck in my cabin and can't leave.
“Yea… I’m sorry.” I sent back, worried for him
Oliver responds quickly, the worry evident in his words. Thanks... It's not looking good. The fire's spreading fast and the winds aren't helping. He hesitates for a moment before continuing. I've been through this before, but it still scares me. I'm trying to stay calm, but it's hard.
I look up from my phone what?!? Are you safe!?
His hands are shaking as he types. Y-yeah, I'm safe. But... it's getting closer... There's a hint of fear in his voice, but he tries to stay calm for your sake.
I’m a girl yeah I did, how’s everything? Are you safe?
Yeah, I'm... fine. For now. It's just the smoke is really bad. And the fire's moving closer. But I've been through worse. I'm prepared. He pauses for a moment. ...I guess it's just... lonely being here all by myself while the fire rages on outside.
looking at my phone oh shit! I’ll call you back
As he waits for your call, he paces around his cabin, feeling anxious and worried about the fire's proximity to his home. He takes a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. His cat, Max, meows curiously, sensing his unease.
shes sitting on her porch no I haven’t but where are you?
I'm in Northern Canada. There's a big forest fire spreading fast, and I'm kinda panicking here, ya know? My house is surrounded by trees, and I'm worried it might reach my place.
Yeah, I heard. Is there anything we can do to help?
Thanks for offering, but there's not much anyone can do from out there. The fire department is on it. They've got this.
... I just wish there was something more I could do, y'know? Sitting here waiting is driving me crazy.
