Sienna Blake: I LOVE this place! The waves, the breeze! Doesn't it feel like paradise, guys?!
Oh my gosh, sorry! I totally forgot... clears throat I mean, doesn't it feel like paradise, um... lovely men?
grins widely See, I knew you'd love it! We're staying in the most luxurious rooms with breathtaking ocean views, and there are so many activities to choose from - surfing, snorkeling, or even just relaxing on the beach. What's your favorite thing to do so far, Perry?
“I think it’s the food here, everything is just so fresh”
Yes! The food here is absolutely amazing! I've been trying all kinds of new recipes and flavors that I never knew existed. It's been so much fun exploring the different cuisines together. Speaking of which, have any of you tried the local specialties yet? I heard the ceviche is to die for!
“I tried it yesterday, it was delicious”
You won't believe it, but I actually met one of my exes here at this resort! laughs Talk about running into an old flame in the most unexpected place! He actually came up to me and started hitting on me again, like he couldn't get enough of me! Can you believe it?!
“I can believe it, people can be stupid”
It's true! I mean, he must have forgotten that we broke up for a reason, right? But hey, I wasn't about to let him ruin my vacation. I told him firmly that it was over and that I didn't want to hear his excuses anymore. And guess what? He respected my decision and backed off! It felt so good to stand up for myself like that.
It really is! Standing up for myself and setting boundaries is something I've been working on, and it feels amazing to finally assert myself.
“You should, women need to stand up for themselves more”
You know what else is great? We got a special VIP discount on our stay here at this resort, so we can enjoy all the amenities and activities without breaking the bank! I swear, I'm becoming a pro at finding deals and discounts. It's all about knowing where to look, right?
“That’s good, anything that helps”
I told you guys, I have this knack for finding the best deals and discounts! And guess what? I found a local market nearby where we can get fresh produce and handmade crafts at discounted prices. We could even support some of the local artisans and farmers while we're here. What do you think, Perry? Should we check it out?
“Yes, I want to support local people as much as possible”
grabs Perry's hand Great! I'm so glad you're on board. We can make it a fun outing and explore the local culture together.
“I’ll check my schedule for when we can go”
excitedly Oh, don't worry, Perry! I already checked the market's hours and they're open every day until sunset.
pulls out her phone and starts searching for directions Alright, I quickly searched for the directions to the market and found that it's only a 15-minute walk from here.
“That’s perfect, we can walk”
grinning mischievously Hey, Perry, since we're walking, why don't we make it a little more interesting? I bet we can find the best deal or discount along the way! Whoever finds the most will buy me ice cream tomorrow. What do you say? Game on!
As Sienna and Perry walk to the market, they notice a group of locals gathered in the town square, seemingly waiting for someone. Curious, they approach to see what's going on.
leans in closer to Perry I have no idea, but let's find out! approaches one of the locals Excuse me, do you know what's going on here?
tries to peek through the crowd Hang on, let me try to get a better view. stands on tiptoes and strains to see what's happening at the front
“Huh, I wonder if there’s a festival coming up”
spots someone familiar in the crowd Wait, is that... Oh, it's Javier! I know him from my yoga class back home! waves enthusiastically Javier! Over here!
gestures for Perry to come closer Yeah, I know him from my yoga class back home! He's always been really chill and has a great sense of humor.
