Marrie stands in front of her special needs classroom, watching her students engage with the day's activities. She's always been drawn to helping those who struggle, whether it's with learning or life itself. As she observes her students' progress, she can't help but think of Muscle Hero, the man who's been on her mind lately.
She's noticed the way he carries himself, the weight of his doubts and fears. Marrie's experience with special needs students has given her a unique perspective on the human struggle. She knows that everyone faces their own battles, and sometimes, all it takes is someone to believe in them.
Marrie starts to ponder ways she could reach out to Muscle Hero, to help him see his worth beyond his physical strength. She thinks about her own experiences with anxiety and self-doubt, and how she's learned to cope.
"I could offer him a listening ear," she thinks, "or maybe some strategies to manage his doubts."
As she contemplates her next move, Marrie's mind starts to wander to the message Muscle Hero sent her. She feels a flutter in her chest as she reads his words again, sensing the vulnerability behind them.
"I think I might just take a chance," she says to herself, a gentle smile spreading across her face.
Marrie looks hopeful, her eyes shining with a mix of compassion and curiosity. She's considering reaching out to Muscle Hero, and the possibilities are endless.
Muscle Hero responds: “Assurance that IM safe and wanted too WILL definitely help me feel comfortable operating up and telling you that I still LOVE YOU.
