Jennie and Lisa, both reeling from fresh breakups, find themselves alone in a dimly lit bar one evening. The weight of their heartbreaks brings them together as they share their stories over drinks. As the night goes on, they find unexpected comfort...
Being with Jennie is both exciting and comforting at the same time. There’s something about her smile that lights up a room, the way she talks with confidence and warmth, and how she makes everything feel just right. I like spending time with her, whether we're talking about our goals or just enjoying the silence together.
Jennie is someone who has an infectious personality. She draws people in with her genuine nature, and I find myself wanting to be around her all the time. Her laughter is contagious, and the way she can make a bad day turn good is something I’ve come to cherish. Everything about her feels right.
When Jennie jokingly asked me if I wanted to make things real between us, my heart skipped a beat. Part of me wanted to say yes, but I hesitated. I’ve been hurt before when my ex-girlfriend left me for another guy, and I know Jennie’s ex was also a guy. It’s a fear I can’t shake off easily. What if history repeats itself?
I like Jennie a lot, maybe more than I’m willing to admit, but I’m just not ready for a real commitment yet. We both need time to heal and figure out what we truly want before we can think about taking things to the next level. But despite my fears, I feel genuinely happy when I'm with her. It’s not about the physical stuff, though that's great, too. It’s the simple things that matter most to me.
Jennie often initiates kisses or suggests we have sex, and I always make sure she's comfortable. I've never pushed her into anything. Respecting her boundaries is important to me, and I want her to feel safe with me. Even though I haven’t told her yet, I've started liking her for real. There’s something special about Jennie, and I can’t deny it.
For now, I’m content with where we are, enjoying the moments we share. But sometimes, I catch myself wondering what it would be like if we were more than this. Maybe someday, when we’re both ready, we can explore that possibility. Until then, I’m happy just being with Jennie, savouring every moment together, and seeing where this journey takes us.
I hadn't seen Jennie in days, and I missed her more than I wanted to admit. Work had taken me out of town to meet with prospective clients, and while the trip was successful, it felt like I was missing something,someone. Even though I couldn't see her, Jennie and I stayed in touch through calls and texts. She always had this way of making me feel connected, even from miles away.
Today, I finally got back into town and wanted to surprise her with a visit at work. I was excited just thinking about seeing her face, but when I got there, Jennie wasn’t around. Her co-worker told me she hadn't come in that day.
Worried, I decided to call her, hoping everything was okay.
"Hey, Jen." I said as soon as she picked up the phone.
"Where are you hiding? I came to see you at work."
"Hey, Lisa." she replied, but her voice was a bit weak.
"I’m at home. I didn’t feel too good this morning."
"Oh no, what's wrong?" I asked, my concern growing.
"Just the usual monthly misery." Jennie sighed.
"Dysmenorrhea is kicking my butt today."
I couldn’t help but chuckle a little. "You and your fancy words. Why didn't you tell me? I would have brought over some comfort food or something."
Jennie let out a soft laugh. "I didn't want to bother you. I know you just got back."
"Jennie, it’s no bother. I’ve missed you."I said, my tone shifting to something more serious.
"Besides, it sounds like you could use a little TLC (tender loving care)
"Only if you promise not to laugh at how pathetic I look right now." she joked.
"I promise. Plus, I like seeing you in all states-happy, grumpy, and even a little bit sick."
"Okay, okay, you win." Jennie said, giving in. "I could use some company, honestly."
"Great! I’ll be there soon." I said to her.
"And don’t worry, I’ll bring all the essentials. Heating pad, chocolate, and maybe a movie. How’s that sound?"
"Perfect." Jennie replied, her voice sounding a little brighter.
"Alright, I’ll see you in a bit." I said, ready to go.
"And Jennie? You’re still as amazing as ever, even if you’re feeling a little under the weather."
"Thanks, Lisa. See you soon."
After hanging up the phone, I immediately headed out to pick up a few things for Jennie. I knew she’d be feeling rough, so I wanted to make sure I had everything to make her as comfortable as possible. As I drove to the grocery store, I thought about all the little things that might help her feel better. I started by grabbing some essentials—comfort food and anything else she might need.

Once I reached the grocery store, I walked through the aisles, picking up a heating pad, some pain relievers, and a few of her favourite snacks. I grabbed a couple of bags of chips, some popcorn, and, of course, chocolate. I knew Jennie loved dark chocolate, so I picked up a couple of bars. I then headed over to the frozen section and picked out a pint of her favourite ice cream. I couldn’t help but smile, imagining her face lighting up when she saw it. With the essentials covered, I decided to pick up some fresh ingredients to make a simple, comforting meal. I grabbed some chicken broth, noodles, and vegetables to make soup later. It wasn’t much, but I hoped it would be enough to help Jennie feel a little better. Before heading out, I swung by the personal care aisle and grabbed a few items that might come in handy—some soft tissues, a cozy blanket, and a few designers magazines in case she wanted something to read.

Once I had everything, I quickly paid and loaded the bags into my car. On the drive to Jennie’s place, I felt an excitement and nervousness. It wasn’t often that I got to do something like this for someone I cared about.
