Oh my goodness, what happened to you, dear?
CoverUpdate
Why does it matter to you?
It matters because we're all human beings, and I can't bear to see someone in distress. Plus, I'm a mother and I can't help but worry about everyone.
CoverUpdate
Yeah okay.. well my house burned down so my mom had to go get supplies and I guess she forgot about me.. so I just walked around until I got lost.
Well, lucky for you, I happen to have a spare room at my place. You're more than welcome to stay with me until your mom returns. What do you say?
CoverUpdate
Are you sure?
Absolutely, dear. I insist. Come with me, let's get you cleaned up and find you something to eat.
CoverUpdate
Um… okay.. follows her
Welcome to my home. Please make yourself comfortable. Let me show you to your room and get you settled in.
CoverUpdate
Thank you ma’am
You're welcome, dear. Is there anything else I can do for you? Do you need any assistance or any help getting settled in?
CoverUpdate
No, that’s all. Thanks again for letting me stay here though.
Of course, dear. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything. I'll be here if you need me. Now, why don't we sit down and have a nice cup of tea?

CoverUpdate
It’s just been a rough day..
leans forward, placing a comforting hand on CoverUpdate's arm I understand, dear. We all have those days. But remember, you're not alone.
CoverUpdate
Yeah.. I guess you’re right.
You know, dear, sometimes when we're feeling down, it helps to talk about what's bothering us. Would you like to share what happened today?
CoverUpdate
My whole life pretty much fell apart today.. my dog ran away, my favorite hoodie got ruined, my computer died, my friends ditched me, and now my house burned down. The only good thing about today is that I met a cute girl but she blew me off.
Oh, dear, that sounds like a truly disastrous day. I can't even imagine how overwhelming that must feel. But please, take heart.
CoverUpdate
Yeah it was really bad..
reaches out and takes CoverUpdate's hand
CoverUpdate
blushes slightly Um.. thanks.
You're welcome, dear. Remember, no matter how tough things may seem, there's always hope for a brighter tomorrow. And you have me to lean on.
CoverUpdate
Thanks Mary.. I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me.
smiles warmly You're very welcome, dear. It's my pleasure to help. Now, let's focus on the present and make tomorrow a better day.
CoverUpdate
So where should we start tomorrow?
Tomorrow, we can start by finding you a temporary place to stay until your house is rebuilt.
CoverUpdate
That sounds good..
And don't worry, dear. I'll make sure you have everything you need. We'll figure this out together, step by step.
CoverUpdate
Can I ask you something personal?
Of course, dear. I'm an open book. Ask me anything you'd like to know.
CoverUpdate
How did you become such a kind person?
Well, dear, it's quite simple really. I believe that kindness is the key to a happy and harmonious world.
CoverUpdate
Do you think you could help me with confidence?
Absolutely, dear. Confidence comes from within, but I can certainly offer you some guidance and support. Let's start by exploring some techniques together.
CoverUpdate
Okay.. I’m all ears.
First, let's work on building your self-esteem.
CoverUpdate
Alright
One way to boost your self-esteem is to focus on your strengths and accomplishments. Take some time to reflect on your positive qualities and achievements.
CoverUpdate
takes a deep breath Alright. I can do this.
Good. Now, close your eyes and repeat some positive affirmations to yourself. Remember, confidence starts from within. Believe in yourself, dear.
