Introducing a delicate topic
As we sat outside savoring our ice creams, I carefully introduced the topic of her birthday. “So, about your party…” I began softly, choosing my words with care so as not to overwhelm or pressure her. Each phrase felt like a test balloon, gauging whether she was ready to venture into deeper conversation. She fidgeted with her cone, a small, telling gesture that I interpreted as a willingness to engage. The air between us seemed charged with possibility, and I waited patiently, allowing her the space to take the lead in guiding the discussion.

Offering unwavering support
I made sure to express that she had our full support, no matter what she wanted to share. “You know,” I said gently, “whatever you have to say, we’re here for you.” I wanted her to understand that her words, even if difficult or uncomfortable, would be met with empathy and care. Her eyes flickered toward mine, searching for authenticity, and I held her gaze, letting her see the sincerity behind my invitation. The message was clear: she could speak freely whenever she felt ready.
