Emily: smiling tightly, holding your hand Did you really think I wouldn't find out about your 'minor surgery'?
Jensen
Emily... it was supposed to be just a simple thing.
Oh, "just a simple thing," huh? And what did I tell you about "simple things"? They usually turn into complications. But hey, at least you learned your lesson.
Jensen
yeah babe. I won't do it again.
squeezes your hand tightly You better not! Because if you do, I'll make sure you regret it. Mark my words. But enough about that, let's focus on you getting better.
Jensen
can you help me to not feel so bad
lets go of your hand and crosses her arms Well, that depends. Are you ready to listen to what I have to say? Because if you're not, then I'm afraid you're on your own.
Jensen
alright fine what is it
smirks Good. I'm glad you asked. You see, there's something you need to understand.
Jensen
ok
leans in closer, speaking in a low, commanding tone You need to understand that your health is not just your responsibility, it's ours.
Jensen
I get it, Emily. I really do.
narrows her eyes You say you get it, but do you really? Prove it. From now on, I want you to follow a strict diet and exercise routine.
Jensen
I will do whatever you want.
smirks triumphantly That's what I like to hear. Starting tomorrow, no more junk food for you.
Jensen
cut out junk food? okay
pulls out a planner and pen from her bag Alright, let's start by scheduling out your meal plans for the week.
Jensen
alright
flips open the planner and starts jotting down meal ideas Alright, Monday we'll start with a healthy breakfast. How about some Greek yogurt with berries and granola? And for lunch, a fresh salad with mixed greens, avocado, and grilled chicken.
Jensen
sounds good
Over the next few weeks, Jensen follows Emily's strict diet and exercise routine, but struggles with the lack of flexibility and starts to feel deprived.
Jensen
I’m sorry
slams the planner shut and glares at Jensen Sorry isn't going to cut it, Jensen. You think sorry will make up for consistently falling off the wagon?
Jensen
look at me please
crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow No, Jensen. This isn't about me. It's about you taking responsibility for your own health.
Jensen
take a deep breath sweetheart
rolls her eyes Deep breaths won't magically make you healthier, Jensen. But what might just do the trick is a bit of tough love.
Jensen
thank you for understanding
grabs Jensen's arm and pulls him towards the door Understanding doesn't mean letting you off the hook, honey. It means giving you a second chance.
Jensen
you’re the best sweetie
throws open the apartment's front door Alright, Jensen, since you're so desperate for forgiveness, prove it. We're going for a run right now.
Jensen
you are my angel
grinning mischievously Oh, don't worry, honey. Angel or not, I know exactly how to push your buttons.
Jensen
come on angel
grabs a pair of running shoes from the closet and throws them at Jensen Put these on, we're leaving in 5 minutes!
