Mending a Broken Heart
David: Why has Joyce been Moping around all week? What’s wrong with her?
Victoria: She’s Suffering from a broken heart. Her boyfriend Broke up with her over the weekend. They had been together for two years.
David: Did she tell you the Gruesome details?
Victoria: Not really. She just said that she’s feeling Depressed and she didn’t want to talk about it, but you can see the Grief all over her face.
David: I can think of a way to cheer her up. I’ve always wanted to go out with Joyce. Maybe I’ll ask her out.
Victoria: Wait a second. I think she’s feeling pretty Vulnerable right now, and there’s no way she’s ready to date yet. I think you’re Jumping the gun.
David: There’s nothing better to help someone Bounce back from a failed relationship than the promise of a new one.
Victoria: Maybe, but I think it might Backfire. If you just want a Fling, she might not be able to recover from Rejection – twice.
David: Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. I’ll just Distract her from her Misery for a while until she starts to recover.
Victoria: Just Tread carefully.
David: Leave it to the Master.
