Apple polisher

[Raphael Malai]

I'm scared
Oh no what if he

Tears it up and burns it and
Oh no
Professor Jack

Do I have to give it to him?

[Jack Ripley]

You can mail it...?
Or leave it somewhere for him to find.

[Raphael Malai]

Oh good idea!

I'll hide it
In his bedroom!

[Jack Ripley]

Put it somewhere he can't miss!

[Raphael Malai]

I'll put it
With the condoms!

[Jack Ripley]

Wise choice.

[Raphael Malai]

What happens after that?

What do I do? Do I wait for him to respond or
Or go on with my life?

[Jack Ripley]

Why can't it be both for a while?
Give him some time and maybe you'll hear back.

And if not, then you'll know.

[Raphael Malai]

Oh right
Right

If I don't hear back
Then
I'll just have to learn how to move on

Im glad you're here to talk me through this 🙂

[Jack Ripley]

We'll get to the moving on part if it comes to that.

And I'm here to save you a couple steps before you go down some old paths I know too well.

[Raphael Malai]

You've been hurt a lot haven't you professor Jack?

Was it all worth it?

[Jack Ripley]

I
Yes I guess I have.


But if it got me to this point then it was worth it.
*looking very fondly at Brayden*
Definitely worth it.

[Raphael Malai]

😔 it's just
Difficult to be patient and wait for things to get better

(*Bray googly eyes him right back*)

[Jack Ripley]

Oh it is.
And maybe for a while you'll think it will never happen.

But then
it does
and when it does it is worth it

I promise

[Raphael Malai]

Professor Jack

I'm going to need these promises in writing
