Emily
Hey Jake, remember that time we went to the old arcade?
Jake
Of course! Best summer ever. Why do you bring it up?
Emily
Just feeling nostalgic today. And maybe a bit overwhelmed.
Jake
Overwhelmed? What's up?
Emily
Work, life... you know, adulting.
Jake
I get it. Have you thought about talking to someone?
Emily
Like who?

Jake
Maybe a therapist? It helped my sister a lot.
Emily
Mmm, not sure I'm ready for that.
Jake
Why not? They can really help sort through things.
Emily
I just don't know if I can open up like that.
Jake
You talk to me, right? It's not that different.
Emily
True, but we've known each other forever. There's trust.
Jake
I get it. But you deserve to feel better.
Emily
Maybe. Just scared of what might come up.
Jake
Remember that day at the arcade? How we thought we'd lost my little brother?
Emily
Yeah, I felt so guilty! But then he was at the prize counter.
Jake
Exactly. Sometimes fears aren't as big as they seem.

Emily
Nice analogy. You're right, I guess.
Jake
Just think about it, okay? No rush.
Emily
Thanks, Jake. You're always there for me.
Jake
Of course, Em. By the way, there's something I've wanted to tell you.
Emily
Oh? What's that?
Jake
Remember last summer at the lake?
Emily
Yeah, with the barbecue and fireworks.
Jake
I wanted to tell you back then... I have feelings for you.
Emily
Whoa, really? Why didn't you say anything?
Jake
Guess I was scared of what might come up too.

Emily
That's... wow. I'm surprised, but also not?
Jake
So, what do you think?
Emily
I think we should talk more about this. Maybe over coffee?
Jake
I'd like that. Let's figure it out together.
Emily
Deal. Thanks for being honest.
Jake
Always. See you soon, Em.
Emily
Can't wait, Jake.
