Coffee after a bad day

Tom: Work's just getting me down at the moment, honestly.
Mia: Come on, let's grab a coffee — that might cheer you up a bit.
Tom: Yeah, you're right. I'm already starting to cheer up a bit, actually.
Getting it off your chest
Mia: You don't have to bottle it all up, you know.
Tom: I know. It's hard to open up about this stuff sometimes.
Mia: Take your time. I'm not going anywhere.
Tom: Thanks. Honestly, just getting it out is starting to cheer me up.

Mia: That makes sense — big changes hit harder than we expect.
Tom: Yeah. It helps just having someone notice, you know.
