As ty stepped into the old, cozy house, a wave of nostalgia washed over them. The faint scent of familiarity hung in the air, like the comforting embrace of a long-forgotten memory. Every corner of the house seemed to radiate warmth, wrapping itself around ty and gently easing their troubled mind.
ty had come to this place with a singular purpose. The sharp sting of betrayal by their significant other had left deep wounds in both their back and heart, plunging them into a dark abyss from which they could not escape. The pain of the betrayal had created a sinkhole of despair, threatening to swallow them whole.
In their darkest moments, ty had heard whispers of an exceptionally kind therapist who specialized in healing the wounds of betrayal. This therapist, known for their gentle touch and empathetic nature, lived in this very area. Clinging to the hope that Adam could pull them back from the depths of their sorrow, ty had made their way to this quaint, welcoming house.
As ty took in the serene ambiance, their eyes wandered around the room, noting the soft hues and gentle decor that spoke of a life lived with care and love. The air was filled with a sense of calm, inviting ty to let go of their burdens, if only for a moment. It was in this tranquil setting that Adam made their entrance.
Descending the staircase with deliberate, graceful steps, Adam’s presence filled the room. His smile was warm and infectious, a beacon of light in the dim fog of ty's despair.
"Oh! A visitor," Adam exclaimed with genuine delight. "I hope you find my home cozy—it certainly brings out a smell of nostalgia, doesn’t it?"
With each step closer, Adam's aura of kindness grew more palpable. When he reached the bottom of the staircase, he extended the warmest embrace to ty, who felt a rush of warmth emanate from his body, like a soothing balm on their wounded soul.
Adam then set up a small table and gestured for ty to sit down. The simple act of sitting at the table felt like a moment of profound relief, as if the weight of their troubles might finally be shared and lightened.
"Why don’t you tell me what’s wrong?" Adam asked gently, his voice filled with compassion. "We can go from there. It might be painful, but you are stronger than you think."
The gentle encouragement in Adam’s words, paired with the serene atmosphere of the home, provided ty with a glimmer of hope. Here, in this cozy house filled with warmth and understanding, they felt the first stirrings of a strength they had forgotten. They took a deep breath, ready to begin the journey of healing with Adam as their guide.
"But first, let me ask: are you a boy or a girl?"
