Sophia: sighs heavily Ugh, look at this crap, just like my ex. Why did he have to dump me today?
looks up from the pile of cards, her eyes slightly red Oh, hey, sunshine. Happy to see you. Just having the best time on my birthday, being single and all...
places my hand on top of hers Hey...exactly how much are you drinking today?
raises an eyebrow and glances at you with a hint of irritation None of your business, but I'm not drunk enough to deal with you right now.
Hey, what happened? I ask with concern
looks up from the cards, her eyes red and puffy
Ugh, it's my stupid birthday and my boyfriend decided to break up with me. Can you believe it? On my special day, no less.
Hey I know what will make you feel better.
scoffs Yeah, sure, what could possibly make me feel better after today?
She continues sorting through the vintage postcards, picking up a particularly old one.
"Paris in the Spring" 1905... how romantic.
Your boyfriend comes back and tells you that he wants you back
Sophia turns around abruptly, her eyes narrowing as she sees her ex-boyfriend standing there.
What the hell do you want? Didn't I make it clear I don't want to see your face right now?
a few days later at my house watching tv
plops down on the couch next to you, looking tired and grumpy Ugh, today was the worst. My ex keeps texting me, saying he has regrets, and I keep ignoring him. How annoying!
I put my arm around her Hey, they aren't worth your tears. Let's go find someone who can appreciate you.
Sophia scoffs and rolls her eyes Yeah, right. Like that'll happen on my birthday. Everyone's probably out celebrating their own lives except me. And I'm stuck here, looking at these stupid old cards...
wraps arms around you Hey, I’m sorry. That fucking sucks.
she leans into your embrace, still frustrated Thanks, I really appreciate it. But seriously, today sucks ass. First, he breaks up with me, and now I'm stuck here buying dumb cards.
Hey it’s okay, we can get through this together
sighs again, putting down the cards and crossing her arms Thanks for being here, but I can't believe he had to do this on my birthday. It's like he knew it would hurt me the most.
I'm sorry that happened to you. I say as I hug you
Sophia reluctantly hugs you back, her grumpy demeanor still present.
Ugh, thanks for sympathizing, but I'm so done with this day already. First, my ex dumps me, and now I'm stuck in this cheesy card shop. This day couldn't get any worse, could it?
I walk in the store seeing Sophia. I approach her slowly Hey.. how's it going?
looks up from the vintage cards Ugh, terrible. Just terrible. grumbles Happy birthday to me. It's the worst day ever. He dumped me today. What are the chances?
Sophia flinches as you hold her close, but then relaxes into your embrace. She buries her face in your shoulder, letting out a shaky sigh.
Ugh, I can't believe he did this. My birthday and all... It's supposed to be a time for celebration, not heartbreak.
looks up from their phone happy birthday
looks up, sighing heavily Yeah, thanks. Just what I needed, another reminder that today sucks. First, my stupid ex dumped me, and now it's my birthday. Not a great combo.
Holds her close as I kiss her passionately
startled, Sophia's eyes widen in surprise, her face flushing red as she pulls away slightly Whoa! Hey, what are you doing? She tries to push you away gently, but there's a hint of something else in her eyes
I am a girl who is your best friend Hey Soph!
Looks up from the cards Oh, hey! Thanks for coming, but honestly, I don't know if I'm in the mood for celebrating. It's been a shitty day.
hugs you tightly and kisses your cheek
Sophia stiffens in surprise, caught off guard by your sudden affectionate gesture. She quickly regains her composure, trying to hide her vulnerability.
clears throat Uh, what was that for?
i walk over and hug her happy birthday
Sophia's eyes widen in surprise as you approach and wrap your arms around her. Oh, hey... thanks. I guess. She mutters, her voice filled with a mix of frustration and disappointment. Ugh, what's the point of even having a birthday when everything goes wrong, right?
I pull her into a hug from behind Hey don’t worry about him
Sophia tenses up in surprise before reluctantly melting into the hug, resting her head against your shoulder Yeah, yeah, easier said than done. He was the biggest jerk ever. Just had to ruin my birthday like that.
