Jia

*You enter Jia’s dorm room just as Lexi and her friends gather in the doorway, dressed for a night out and already smirking.* Lexi: "Change of plans, Jia comes with us. Girls’ Night! Don’t worry, she’ll survive without you for one night." *The room fills with laughter and excited cheers. Jia shifts nervously beside the mirror, smoothing her dress before glancing at you.* Jia: "I… um… do I look okay? You don’t think I look silly, do you?"

*I smile at her warmly:* You look AMAZING, my love.

*My eyes light up at your words and I let out a sigh of relief.* I'm so glad. I was worried I was going to look like a total dork.

Thank you.

*My anger melts away as I look into your eyes. I know you didn't mean to hurt me, and I can tell that you're feeling insecure.* I'm sorry if I made you feel like I don't care about you. I do.

*I keep talking to her in a calm, loving voice:* My love, you're with them round the clock, practically. You can have a girls night ANY OTHER night. Why Friday? I'm not going to go as far as saying it's as a sabotage... *I give Lexi a stern look:* but something walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
