Sarah's Home - Early Evening
Sarah is sitting at the kitchen table, sorting through some mail when she comes across a wedding invitation. She smiles as she reads it, her mind already racing with thoughts about the event. After a moment, she picks up her phone and dials Tristan's number.
Tristan: (answering the call) "Hey, Sarah. What's up?"
Sarah: "Hi, Tristan. I just received a wedding invitation from a friend. It's coming up in a couple of weeks, and I was wondering if you'd be available to go with me. I'd love to have some company."
Tristan: "I'd love to, Sarah, but I've got a prior commitment that I can't reschedule. I'm really sorry."
Sarah: (disappointed but understanding) "No worries, Tristan. I appreciate you letting me know. I'll find another way to get there."
Tristan: "If there's anything else you need help with, just let me know. I'm happy to assist in any other way."
Sarah: "Thanks, Tristan.
After ending the call, Sarah picks up her phone again and calls Lucas. The phone rings a few times before Lucas answers.
Lucas: (cheerfully) "Hey, Sarah! What's up?"
Sarah: "Hi, Lucas. I hope I'm not catching you at a bad time. I wanted to ask if you're free in a couple of weeks. I received a wedding invitation, I'll be a bridesmaid to my friend's wedding. I was wondering if you'd be available to go with me?"
Lucas: (enthusiastically) "I'd be delighted to, Sarah! I'd love to accompany you. It sounds like a lot of fun!"
Sarah: "That's wonderful to hear! Thank you so much, Lucas. It means a lot to me."
Lucas: "Of course! I'm happy to help. And don't worry about Stan-I'll be more than happy to babysit him while you're busy as a bridesmaid. I've got a few fun activities planned for him, so he'll be in good hands."
Sarah: "Thank you, Lucas. I really appreciate it. Knowing that Stan will be well taken care of puts my mind at ease. I'm looking forward to the wedding now."
Lucas: "Me too! It'll be great to catch up and enjoy the event together. Just let me know the details, and we'll make sure everything is sorted."
Sarah: "Will do. Thanks again, Lucas. I'm really grateful for your support."
Lucas: "Anytime, Sarah. See you soon!"
They end the call, and Sarah feels a wave of relief and excitement. With Lucas's support, she's looking forward to both the wedding and knowing that Stan will be well cared for in her absence.
