Frankie: Oh, Gemma, I’m sorry.
Charlie: I am too. I hope it isn’t too serious.
Gemma: We’re hoping two weeks of rest does the trick, but I’ll know more after I see a doctor.
Frankie: Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.
Gemma:Just continue to be amazing friends. That’s all I need.

Gemma: Hope you don’t mind, but there’s been a slight change in plans. I’m going to have to cancel our video chat tonight.
Tim: Oh, okay. Reschedule for tomorrow?
Gemma:Yes, but how about we do it in person instead?
Tim: Does this mean what I think it means?
Gemma:What do your superhero powers tell you?
Tim: My Gemma-rella is coming to town?
Gemma: *Winking emoji*
Tim: Are you flying in? Do you need a ride from the airport?
Gemma: Yes and no. My bestie is picking me up. What I would like to do, though, is to cash in that rain check for a coffee.
Tim: I’ll do you one better. How does dinner sound?
Gemma: Dinner would be amazing.
Tim: I know just the place too.
Gemma: As long as they have some ice cream on the menu, I’m game.
Tim: And what kind of ice cream would that be?
Gemma: Take a wild guess.
Tim: Pumpkin? Since you’re the type of princess who might ride in a pumpkin carriage.
Gemma: Brilliant skills of deduction, but no. I’m not a fan of pumpkin. It’s not something I ever had growing up.
Tim: Chocolate?
Gemma: Tim for the win. Just a nice plain chocolate ice cream puts me in my happy place. What about you? Are you a strawberry man?
Tim: I’ll give you a hint: I enjoy classic flavors.
Gemma: You don’t mean vanilla do you?
Tim: *Blushing emoji* I do.
Gemma: Well, it’s good to know our favorite flavors complement one another.
Tim:It is.
