The Bench

Gloria and Marie haven't spoken in three months. After forty-six years of friendship, one public humiliation and one secret biopsy have shattered what felt unbreakable. Now an empty bench sits between them every Saturday morning, and neither woman knows how to cross the distance. Step into Gloria's shoes and decide: how do you fight for a friendship that might be too honest to survive?

What you'll discover

As you move through the story and make choices, your DISC personality profile takes shape across four traits:

  • The Door She Knocked On

    You face conflict head-on, even when it's painful. You believe that honesty — real, unflinching honesty — is the only foundation strong enough to rebuild on. You'd rather have a hard conversation than a comfortable silence.

  • The Coffee on the Porch

    You lead with warmth and know that sometimes the side door is the only way back in. You use humor, presence, and connection to bridge distances that words alone can't cross. You believe showing up matters more than being right.

  • The Bench She Kept

    You hold space with patience and quiet faith. You believe that love sometimes means waiting — not passively, but with open hands. You trust that what was built over decades won't collapse from one season of silence.

  • The Letter She Wrote

    You need to understand before you act. You examine patterns, name specifics, and believe that a thoughtful accounting of the truth is an act of love. You don't just want reconciliation — you want it built on something real.
