4. At a family gathering, a long-held family secret is finally brought to light.

5. Two or more people who have been estranged for a long time have a conversation after years of silence.

6. Two friends have a humorous conversation while stuck in traffic on the 405 Freeway.

7. One person shares an idea of “wellness” with another. The idea can be for actual wellness or could be for a more dubious plan for staying healthy.

8. One person tempts another to do something wrong.

9. Two best friends realize that they’re not exactly best friends anymore.

10. One person discovers that another person is a far better friend than initially supposed.

11. Two people begin a conversation and realize that they really click.

12. One person has a bad date while the other person thinks things are going really well.

13. A person asks forgiveness of another person who doesn’t want to grant it.

15. One person gives another person (or a person gives him/herself) a pep talk or healing talk or support talk that actually works.
