About two hours after you left, you walked home. You were pretty upset that you left, but you understood.
Tom: I'll go back later.

Julie: Tommy Boy, welcome.
You wave hi to them.
Julie: you look upset.

Julie: nothing much, just hanging around.
She jumps off the swing set and takes your hand, and leads you someplace.
Tom: where are we going?
Julie: we're going to talk because you upset about something.
You both sat near the Pier.
Julie: Tell me what's up.
Tom: I don't want to drop. my problems onto you, and it's silky. I'm probably just overthinking it.
She holds his hand and looks him in the eye.
Julie: I'm here to listen, okay, just tell me.
Tom: I was at Y/N's house like most of the time, but for the first time, I just left after he told me I could do something else.
Julie: how do you feel?
Tom: I'm upset that I left. I should be taking care of him right now, not Leon.
Julie: you're jealous.
Tom: pfft, I have nothing to be jealous about. Leon couldn't replace me.
Julie: Sure, Tommy.
Tom: oh, it's almost dinner time at y/n's place. He told me to invite you.
He stands and offers his hand to her.
Julie: Sure, I'll come.
She takes his hand, and they walk to your house.
