I do- his name's Rodney. We just started dating a few months ago. [She blushed a little at that.] I have no doubt that he would be- I've heard people say that no time passes back home, though. That nobody even knows we're missing.

[He likes that name. It reminds him of a comedian! He props his chin on his hand with a wide smile.]

Awwww. [Then he chants teasingly.] Jennifer has a boyfriend, Jennifer has a boyfriend!

[Steven nods.]

It's okay. Either way, you'll get to see each other again have a really big hug!

[forsometimenow]

[Jennifer laughed aloud at that- but at the same time, it made her a little sad. That kind of schoolyard teasing was something she'd missed out on, after all.]

Yup, I sure do- he's pretty great. I miss his hugs, and our conversations... [And- other things- but precious cinnamon roll child doesn't need to know that.] He has a knack for making me feel special. Loved. Like nothing in the world makes him happier than being with me.

[Aw. Steven is practically tearing up hearing about this. It's so touching, and he nods.]

I- I hope you get to see each other really soon. Hold onto that feeling as much as you can. Cuz... it'll stay true no matter how far apart you are!

[forsometimenow]

... you're right. It will, won't it? Even if he never arrives here... I'll still have him waiting for me when I get home. It's something to hold onto.

[jamminshield]

[He nods along, and smiles with a blush.]

I think it sounds really romantic!

I hope that you keep on holding onto it. And if you ever need help with anything... You know the guy to talk to! [He points finger-guns to his office.]

[forsometimenow]

I definitely do. And- thanks for the pep talk. I need those every now and then.

[jamminshield]

You're welcome, Jennifer! Whenever you need them, I'll be Dr. Pepper!

[forsometimenow]

Good. ... I'm glad you're here.

[jamminshield]

Thanks, Jennifer! [He blushes lightly.] I'm glad I'm here too, for you!

A-and I really wish you could be home with your loved ones. But I'm really glad just that I get to know you.

[forsometimenow]

Me, too- it sounds like we're both trying to make the best of a bad situation.

[jamminshield]

[He nods.]

I guess we are. As long as we're friends, it's not as bad as it can be!

[forsometimenow]

Exactly. And being optimistic is valuable, too.
