Claire
Can you tell me what happened?
Allan
Claire, is there anything wrong? I’ve noticed you’ve been a bit withdrawn lately.
Claire
No, nothing’s wrong. I’m okay.
Allan
You know I care about you a lot, right?
Claire
I’m sorry I’ve been shutting you off lately. I just haven’t felt like myself.
Allan
It’s okay. I understand. We all go through struggles.
Claire
It just feels like my world is falling apart. I lost my job and my partner left me. It’s all too much.
Allan
Oh, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I know how hard it is to open up, so thank you for trusting me. I wish I could make things better.
Claire
Thanks for being such a good friend, Allan.
