"Welcome back, François. I'm happy you brought Lloyd with you again."

"Hi, Mrs. Cartier."

"I'm sorry about the way I reacted last time I was here."

"It's alright, sometimes we think with our hearts. Let's think with our minds today so we can have a wonderful conversation."

"Yeah."

"Before we start, let me start off by saying I loved the wedding. It was absolutely beautiful."

"Aw, thank you. We're really happy you were able to make it. Did you enjoy the food? Everyone said they liked the seafood."

"Oh my gosh, yes! I'm a vegan and I was very happy to see that there was food for me. That was very thoughtful!"

"Well, I'm vegetarian, so it's kinda just a given. I'm really glad you liked it."

"Anyways, you two, what's something you feel like you need to talk about?

"Uh, nothing too serious, but we would like advice on how to have the perfect marriage."

"What do you consider perfect?"

"Ummm, I'm not really sure? Franny, what do you think?"

"Uh, maybe....like you know that one couple from Up? Like that."

"It's possible to have a very lovely marriage like that, but it's important to remember it's a movie. Every couple has their disagreements and arguments, I'm sure you've had some before you got engaged."

"Yeah..."

"It's okay to not be happy with each other all the time. You're only human. All that matters is that by the end of the day, you two will love and take care of each other."

"Yeah, that's right."

"What's something you really like about Lloyd?"

"Everything."

"Stopp."

"Hehe, I like how caring he is. If I'm having a bad day, I know I could always come to him and I'll be very happy."

"That's so sweet. Lloyd, what's something you really like about François?"

"I really like how much I could trust him. I don't feel like I have to hide anything, and I don't feel like he's doing anything behind my back, I love that."

"Now, what's something that he does that you don't really like?"

"I guess when he doesn't really talk about how he feels sometimes. I want to make sure he's alright sometimes, and he doesn't really tell me."

"I'm sorry about that. I'm trying to work on that."

"It's ok, sweetheart. I know it's really hard for you."

"I love how you two communicate like that. That's very healthy."

"Thank you, Mrs. Cartier"

"François, how about you?"

"I don't want to say 'don't like' because I know he really can't help it, but it makes me sad when he's scared of me. I know it's because of his past, but it makes me feel like a bad person."

"You're not a bad person. I'm sorry I made you feel like that."

"I know it's not your fault, I don't hold it against you."

"This is a good start. Me and François can work on it, and I know you have a therapist, Lloyd. Talk about this with him."

"Oh, they use they/them. Sorry for not mentioning that before."

"Oh dear, thank you for telling me. Apologies for not asking before. What are your preferred pronouns?"

"Really everything, not really picky with that stuff."

"I'll continue using he/him, is that alright with you?

"Yeah, don't worry about it."

"Ok, but yeah, continue working with them. I'm sure you guys will have a wonderful marriage going forward. You both have very healthy conversations, and I can sense a lot of trust and mutual respect."

"Thank you."

"It seems like our time is up. I hope to see you again soon, Lloyd. And François, book another appointment at the front desk."

"I will. Thank you so much."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, boys. Thank you for coming."
