NOT SO BERRY

ASTRID: Sorry to bother you, but you look so familiar. Have we met?

???: I believe we have. You’re from the Oasis Springs Gym, I’m Eduardo. 

ASTRID: Oh, that’s right! You work there as a personal trainer! I’m Astrid, by the way. You don’t look like the type to be at a nightclub at 4:00 PM. 

EDUARDO: That’s probably because I’m not. My father owns this place, I was only checking up on it. I’m not much of a party-goer, you don’t quite look like one either. 

ASTRID: My best friend, Tess, dragged me here. I have three kids so it’s not often I get to go out and enjoy myself, but I just couldn’t pass up the offer. 

EDUARDO: I completely understand! I have a son, he’s quite the handful at times. 

ASTRID: A son? Are you married? Sorry if I’m being a bit too personal.

EDUARDO: Don’t apologize, dear. I’m not married; my wife passed two years ago. 

ASTRID: I’m so sorry… I can’t imagine. 

NOT SO BERRY

ASTRID: Isn’t it a little too early to be at a nightclub? It’s still daylight!

TESS: So? We’re here to have fun! Plus, Lyla and Finn are at school so this is the perfect time for you to let loose without worrying too much about the kids.

ASTRID: Okay, whatever you say. I’m going to step out for a moment, the stench of sweat and alcohol is suffocating me. 

TESS: You better not ditch me! I gave up watching the Bachelor for this. 

NOT SO BERRY

Astrid finally got a day off of work and the kids were at school, creating the perfect opportunity for her to spend some time with a friend. She invited Tess to a cafe in Windenburg and the two talked for a good hour or two. 

TESS: It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face, I feel like we never get a chance to go out like this.

ASTRID: Between the twins and my busy work schedule, I never have any time on my hands but now that all the kids are in school, I think I’ll be able to go out and see you and Grayson more often. 

TESS winks: Maybe you’ll also finally have time to start dating again. You haven’t seen anyone since my brother, it’s been years. 

ASTRID: I don’t know, Tess. I’m starting to think that maybe the whole “dating” thing just isn’t for me. My relationships just never seem to work out. 

TESS: C’mon A, you’re absolutely amazing and any guy would be lucky to date you. Just because you had a few rocky relationships doesn’t mean that all of them will be shitty. How about we go out and test the waters next time you’re off work? 

ASTRID: You’re right, I can’t let the past ruin my future. I’ll go, but you’re paying for the drinks.

TESS laughs: Okay, deal!

// i’m going to try and add more dialogue to my posts, maybe a bit more of a storyline. i’m just experimenting for now so we’ll see how this goes!
