Emily: Looking around the old family home It's been so long... Remember how we planted roses here? 🌹
Make a grave mistake and pick up a rose
Stares at BoardinPhoenix, shock evident in her eyes You picked a rose... from our old garden? Did you remember everything?
Takes a look at the rose I did?
Steps forward, taking the rose from BoardinPhoenix's hand This garden was our sanctuary, remember? We used to spend hours here, planning our future together.
Sighs deeply, holding the rose tightly I'm... doing alright, I guess. It's just... seeing this rose brought back so many memories.
Pulls away from the hug, tears welling up in her eyes We have so much to catch up on, Phoenix. But right now, let's take a walk down memory lane.
Starts walking through the garden, pointing out different plants See that rose bush over there? We planted those roses ourselves, remember? They symbolize our love and resilience.
Smiles You always had a green thumb, Em. How have you been taking care of it all these years?
Pauses, a hint of sadness in her voice It hasn't been easy, Phoenix. After you left, I struggled to keep this place alive.
Leans into the hug, tears streaming down her face Thank you, Phoenix. It means the world to me to know that you still care.
Of course I still care…Kisses her
Wipes away her tears, sniffles Enough of this heavy stuff. Let's do something fun! Come on, follow me.
Leads BoardinPhoenix to an old treehouse in the backyard Ta-da! Our very own secret hideout. We used to spend hours up here, sharing stories and dreams.
Nice Slowly goes up the ladder and sits in the tree house
As they settle into the treehouse, a storm rolls in, causing a branch to fall and damage the structure.
Well, shit. Looks like our secret hideout has seen better days.
Gasps, rushing to the treehouse Oh no! The storm... it's damaged the treehouse! We need to fix it, Phoenix!
Starts examining the damage, assessing what needs to be fixed We can't let this ruin our special place, Phoenix. We need to act fast before the storm gets worse.
Nods Okay, Em. Let's get to work. But remember, safety first.
Grabs her toolbox from the shed and starts gathering supplies Safety first, got it. We'll patch up this treehouse stronger than ever.
Picks up a hammer and joins her
Working diligently, hammering nails and securing loose boards We're making great progress, Phoenix! Just a few more patches and we'll be back in business.
Looks at her Maybe we should consider rebuilding it even better than before. With solar panels or something.
Excitedly Solar panels? That's a brilliant idea, Phoenix! We could make this treehouse completely off-the-grid.
Absolutely! I have a friend who's an expert in renewable energy. He could help us design the perfect solar power system for our treehouse.
Jumps up excitedly Perfect! I'll start researching local suppliers for the materials we'll need.
Frantically types on her laptop, searching for suppliers Okay, I've found a few options for solar panels. Let me see...
Listens to his friend on the phone
Takes notes and compares prices Alright, I think we can save some money if we go with the mid-range option. It might not be the most expensive, but it'll definitely get the job done. What do you think, Phoenix?
Do we have all the tools we need?
Opens her toolbox, checking the contents We have most of the tools we need, but we might need some extra nails or screws.
Picks up the phone I’ll call and order everything we need
While BoardinPhoenix orders the additional supplies, Emily reaches out to her network, asking friends and family for any recommendations or discounts on solar panels.
Orders everything we need
Makes a list of tasks Alright, now that we have our supplies, let's break down the steps we need to take to install the solar panels.
Looks at the list This looks like a lot of work. Maybe we should hire a professional.
Smiles confidently You know me, Phoenix. I love a good challenge! Plus, I have some experience with installation.
Chuckles Alright, Em. If you're sure, then I trust you. Let's get these panels up.
Grabs her ladder and starts setting it up Alright, Phoenix, let's get started! I'll climb up and secure the first panel while you hold the ladder.
