NOT SO BERRY

ASTRID: Okay, I know this might seem a little crazy and sudden but… I kinda like you – like more than friends – and would it be too creepy to ask you out on a date? You’ve been so helpful and kind to me, more than I ever expected and it made me realize that maybe you’re what I’ve been looking for all this time? Am I crazy?

TESSA: NO! I mean yes, I’ll go on a date with you but no, you’re not crazy! Not gonna lie, I’ve been waiting for you to ask me for a long time. I’d love to go on a date with you. 

// okok this is so rushed but astrid is literally finished aside from getting married to a neat sim and i’m so eager to start gen5. 🙂

NOT SO BERRY

ASTRID: Hey, thanks for coming with me today! I know the kids have been wanting to go out and this place is so beautiful, I already know Lyla is off chasing butterflies somewhere. 

TESSA: No problem! I remember my parents took us here one summer and my dad actually proposed to my mom somewhere around here. It’s one of my favourite memories.

NOT SO BERRY

Tess reached up and cradled Astrid’s face in her hand. “Listen, you’re not alone! I care, Grayson cares and even though your siblings don’t call you that much, they care. I live with your brother, he talks about you all the time and how he misses you.”

Astrid released a small sigh. “Thank you for that. I know I probably seem like I’m overreacting but I can’t help it.”

“Don’t apologize, Astrid. Your feelings matter. Don’t let anyone ever make you feel otherwise.” Tess told her friend. “How about we go to the park Saturday? You can bring the kids and spend some time with them, it’ll be fun!”

With a smile, Astrid nodded her head. “I’d like that.”

// ngl, i almost made them kiss but it felt a little too inappropriate. tess and astrid are best friend goals, and maybe couple goals too but we’ll see. 😉

NOT SO BERRY

After blowing out the candles, Astrid took a seat at the bar. 

Tess noticed the sullen expression on her best friend’s face and sat beside her. “I know you’ve been feeling down lately, so if there’s anything that you want to talk about, you can come to me.” 

Astrid glanced at Tess and sighed. She could feel tears boiling on the brim of her eyelids and all the pent up emotions constricting in her chest. Instead of talking about them, she simply used her punching bag for release but that only worked for so long. 

“I guess I just feel lost,” The silver-haired woman began, a single tear leaving a burning trail down her cheek. “Ever since Eduardo, I just feel like not many people care about me. My siblings don’t call, my friends are too busy for me and it seems like I’m all alone sometimes. My parents both died when I was just a teenager and even then we were never close. I always wanted a strong relationship with my children to make up for the one I never got with my mom and dad but it just isn’t like that.”

Tess grabbed her best friend’s hand in hers. “You’re not alone, Astrid.”
