Audio Files 2: Dr. Alma

“Hello. Dr. Alma here. Things have finally been looking up for us. It had been a hectic three weeks, but everything worked up in the end. While it was tense at first, Bertie meeting my parents face-to-face had worked out in the end. They even gave us a huge amount of money as a belated wedding gift. They even helped Bertie legally so that we could finally get our old cottage back from Dirk the Smasher. We used the money to activate the instantly home feature of our telewands. We also activated it for Mia and Ben as well. We finally have a place to call home again. We are still travelling, though. Bertie’s parents are housesitting for us, just in case…”

“Hello. Dr. Alma here. I had the displeasure to meet Dr. Blossom again when I was forced to become a surgeon at the hospital I started to work for since he’s the top surgeon. It made me remember the bad times back then. What makes it worse would have to be he thought I was the same young and emotional lady from way back…”

“Hello. Alma here. It has been a hectic week. Working with him made me emotionally fatigued. Whoever told you that the title princess can’t be used to demean you is a liar. Bertie never saw me make so much vent art before. He asked me several times what the matter was and asked if I wanted to talk about it. While I wanted to, I didn’t want to expose my emotional baggage and my biggest weakest to him. I was so badly hurt years ago when Blossom and I were good friends and I vowed to never let that happen ever again.”

“Hello. Alma here. Bertie decided to surprise me and took me out to lunch. Blossom had bumped into us. It was awkward how Blossom spoke as if we had dated before while we were only friends. When it was too much for me I told them I needed to go to the ladies when I actually hid around the corner to see what Blossom would say to Bertie. He told my dear sweet husband that he doesn’t deserve me at all while the narcissistic doctor said that since he is one of the best surgeons and came from a super-rich family, he is more deserving of a princess. He even told my poor husband that he only married me to become royalty. To my surprise, Bertie casually told Blossom that I deserve the person that makes me feel happy and that he didn’t marry me to become royalty since he is already one. Blossom was actually speechless, even when I pretended I came back from the ladies.”

“Hello. Alma here. I decided to tell Bertie everything. I poured my entire heart about my past and my previous relationship with Blossom, how he was convinced we were dating and the incident that caused me to have fear of heights and how Blossom mocked me for my reaction. I explained how it caused me to bottle my emotions. When I was finished, I couldn’t stop the tears. Bertie didn’t mock me at all. He didn’t say empty words. He simply hugged me and told me it’s okay to let my feelings out if it’s too much. That heavy feeling I had was no longer that heavy after I poured my heart out. It made me feel better. We decided to leave the planet the next morning.”

“Hello. Alma here. It’s a slow progress but I am becoming less afraid of showing my emotions and express what I am feeling to my loved ones.”
