Danny: hides the poem behind his back, whispers You weren't supposed to see that, you know. Like it, though?
Stewart
đź¤I was ok just then smiling at you
Danny: blushes slightly, looks down Uh, thanks, I guess. It's just...I put my heart into those poems, you know? They're personal.
Stewart
I can see that… your very talented …your mom must be proud
Danny: pauses, a hint of sadness in his voice Yeah, she was... really proud. She always believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself.
Stewart
Now she’s happy with her new family
Danny: nods, wiping away a tear Yeah, she found happiness after the accident. It was hard, but she deserved it.
Stewart
What accident?
Danny: takes a deep breath, whispers The accident that took my best friend...and almost took me too. It's been a long road to recovery, but I'm grateful for every moment I have now.
Stewart
Wow…..you’ve been through a lot
Danny: looks down, his voice barely audible Yeah, I have. But writing helps me cope. It's like therapy for me.
Stewart
That’s really cool
Danny: stands up, walks over to Stewart, extends a hand Thanks for listening, it means a lot to me.
Stewart
shakes Danny's hand Of course, Danny. Anytime you need to talk, I'm here.
Danny: grabs a notebook and pen from his backpack Wait, let me give you something. Here, take this notebook. Write whatever you feel, whenever you want.
Stewart
takes the notebook Thanks, Danny. This means a lot to me.
Danny: takes a deep breath, whispers You know, sometimes it's hard to open up to people. But writing helped me, and I hope it can help you too.
Stewart
smiles softly I appreciate that, Danny. Thank you.
Danny: pauses, looks at Stewart with a mischievous glint in his eyes Hey, how about we have a little fun? Come on, let's go to that old abandoned house downtown.
Stewart
Ok let’s go
Danny: grinning mischievously Follow me, Stewart. We're going on an adventure!
