I keep using my girlfriend with unusual work hours to get out of coworker interactions and happy hours and hanging out.

But now the company holiday party is upon us.

And I’ve been lying about the girlfriend.

I suddenly really empathise with the characters in Hallmark Christmas movies.

I had such a cute (and kinda sad) wesper idea!

Jesper helps out at a mental institute, just helping the patients. He'll read to them or listen to their stories - is just a general helpful boi

One of the patients he helps is a lovely woman called Marya he's reading a book to. Some days, he'll have to repeat chapters he's already read because she insists the last chapter she remembers was chapter 4, even though he read chapter 5 last week. But other than that, she's fine

One day, Jesper comes in and Marya's got a visitor. Her son

Love it already but I'll read it 😌

I love that he'd be such a good boi 🥺 This aligns with volunteer Jesper from NH&HVB and I LOVE IT

OH MY GOD 😭 I LOVE THIS BLAIZE I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COME UP WITH THESE PLEASE I LOVE IT

Jesper knows what Wylan looks like because of all the paintings Marya's done but he expects Wylan to be like 7 because that's how Marya paints him so he's surprised to see this guy around his age who is so much prettier and real life and super nervous to see his mom and Jesper is so glad to help because he knows Marya misses her son 🥺🥺🥺

In the future, children will think our ways are strange. "Why do old people always grow so much milkweed in their gardens?" they'll say. "Why do old people always write down when the first bees and butterflies show up? Why do old people hate lawn grass so much? Why do old people like to sit outside and watch bees?"

We will try to explain to them that when we were young, most people's yards were almost entirely short grass with barely any flowers at all, and it was so commonplace to spray poisons to kill insects and weeds that it was feared monarch butterflies and American bumblebees would soon go extinct. We will show them pictures of sidewalks, shops, and houses surrounded by empty grass without any flowers or vegetables and they will stare at them like we stared at pictures of grimy children working in coal mines

Wylan: "Why are you here again?"

Inej: "To make sure you don't accidentally blow up half the city."

Wylan: "Oh come on, that was one time!"

Inej: "..."

Wylan: "...Two times."

Inej: "...."

Wylan: "...Ok maybe it happens a little more often than any of us would like... and I usually just so happen to be ever so slightly involved... But it's not like I meant to do it!"
