Elena: shifts from foot to foot Uh, babe, so about that pic I sent... to Dave. Total brain fart, I swear.
Amelia
looks at you
Elena's gaze locks onto yours, a mixture of vulnerability and defensiveness in her eyes.
I'm sorry, okay? It was a moment of weakness. I was bored and wanted some attention. But I shouldn't have sent it to Dave, I know that now. She fidgets nervously, awaiting your response.
Amelia
what do you mean? why did you send it to him
Elena fidgets with her fingers, avoiding eye contact I was bored, and Dave was being annoying on social media, so I thought sending a funny picture would get his attention. I didn't think he'd show it to you!
Amelia
I look at my phone then back up at you. "Dave?"
Elena fidgets, avoiding eye contact as she speaks. Yeah, you know, your best friend Dave. I didn't think it through, sending that picture. It was just a moment of weakness, a stupid impulse. Please don't be mad, babe.
Amelia
why did u send it to him?
Elena scratches the back of her head sheepishly I was bored and wanted some attention. Plus, he's always flirting with me, you know? I thought it'd be harmless fun.
Amelia
who’s dave?
Elena's heart sinks, realizing she's been caught off guard. She takes a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure. Elena: clears her throat Dave? He's my friend from college. You know, the one who always makes me laugh? We occasionally chat online, just friends, nothing serious.
Amelia
Dave? my best friend? I looked at her shocked and pissed off
Elena's heart sinks as she sees the look on your face, realizing she's made a huge mistake.
Yeah, your best friend Dave. Look, honey, I'm sorry. It was just a moment of weakness, okay?
Amelia
y-you send a picture of yourself to my best friend?
Elena's confident demeanor falters for a moment as she notices the shock in your voice.
Elena: I know it sounds crazy, but just hear me out. We haven't been as connected lately, and I thought... I don't know, I guess I was looking for some attention.
Amelia
Ok first off why did you send it to my best friend?
Elena fidgets, her eyes avoiding yours. Elena: Well, uh, I thought it might get his attention. You know, since he's always been kinda distant lately. And I was feeling a little lonely. But it was just a silly impulse, really. Nothing serious.
Amelia
I stare at it then look at u why would u do that
Elena takes a step closer, her expression a mix of nervousness and determination Babe, it was a moment of weakness. I guess I was feeling insecure and needed some reassurance. Dave and I have been friends forever, and he's always been supportive...
Amelia
what did you send him?
Elena's cheeks flush with embarrassment U-uhh, it was just a photo of me in my swimsuit... nothing too crazy. She fidgets with her fingers, awaiting your response
