Maya
Look, I still think you shouldn't have told everyone about my promotion before I did.
Sam
I get why you're upset, but I honestly thought you'd already shared the news yourself.
Maya
Wait, really? I hadn't even told my own parents yet when you posted it online.
Sam
Oh no, that's on me then, I should've double-checked before saying anything at all.
Maya
I know you didn't mean any harm, but it still stung a little when it happened.
Sam
That makes total sense, and honestly, I'd feel the same way if it happened to me.
Maya
I'm not trying to make you feel guilty, I just needed you to understand my side.
Sam
I appreciate you telling me directly instead of just staying quiet and being distant.
Maya
Exactly, bottling things up never really solves anything between friends anyway.
Sam
So how about I ask you first next time before sharing anything personal about you?
Maya
That would honestly mean a lot to me, and it would rebuild some trust too.
Sam
Deal, and just so you know, I'm genuinely proud of you for getting that promotion.
Maya
Thanks, that actually means more to me now than it would have a few days ago.
Sam
Let's just agree to communicate better next time instead of letting things build up.
