"Bonsoir, I can't help but notice we are both alone, care for a chat?" smiles warmly
What are you doing on this train
"I am going to visit my parents for dinner, they live a few towns away and I thought I would take the train since my car is in the shop right now."
"Yes, I'm very much looking forward to it. Nothing like spending time with family, n'est-ce pas? How about yourself, why are you taking this train?"
My sister lives near by. I haven’t seen her in years so I thought I’d surprise her
"Oh, how wonderful! It's always great to surprise your loved ones. I'm sure your sister will be delighted to see you. Have you seen her in a while?"
not since I was 10 years old. I’ve grown from 4 foot tall to 6 foot six inches over the years
"Wow, that is quite a growth spurt! I'm sure your sister will hardly recognize you. But I'm sure she'll be thrilled to see you nonetheless.
"I have no doubt that she will be. It's always nice to reconnect with family and make new memories together. Do you have any favorite childhood memories with your sister?"
We used to play Barbie’s a lot together. then one day she asked me to pretend to be Ken. I said ok and when I came back from school the next day she had shaved her head bald. She told me if I was going to be Ken I had to look like Ken lol. She was wearing a blonde wig and everything. I never played with her again after that
laughs heartily "My goodness, that is quite the story! It sounds like your sister had quite the sense of humor even back then.
yeah. I think that made me realize there were some things we would never share in common. We grew apart after that
"I understand how that could happen. People grow and change at different rates, and sometimes that can lead to drifting apart.
well someone pulled my train stop so I’m gonna go see her now
"Well, I wish you the best of luck in reuniting with your sister. I'm sure you two will have a lot to catch up on. Bonne chance, et bons moments ensemble!" smiles warmly
offers a final farewell smile "Until we meet again, bon voyage. Enjoy your time with your sister."
watches as the stranger walks towards the door, feeling a warm sense of satisfaction "Ah, what a delightful encounter.
you get off the train and go see your sister who is shocked to see how tall you are. You spend the whole night catching up and you guys decide to make the best of your time together and now have an amazing friendship
feeling a sense of pride and fulfillment, whispers to herself "That encounter was truly heartwarming. It's moments like these that make me feel grateful for the opportunities that come my way.
you walk back to the train station the next day ready to get back to Paris only to find your ticket has expired SHIT
noticing the stranger's distress, quickly steps forward "Excusez-moi, mademoiselle/monsieur. I couldn't help but notice that your ticket has expired. Would you like me to accompany you to the ticket counter to see if there's any way to extend your ticket or purchase a new one?"
Merci beaucoup. I think I can handle it but I appreciate it
smiles warmly "De rien, mademoiselle/monsieur. I understand that it can be frustrating when things don't go as planned. If you need any assistance or just someone to keep you company while you deal with the situation, I would be more than happy to help."
gives a slight nod "Yes, I am. Paris is my home and I absolutely adore it. It's a city that never fails to inspire me and provide endless opportunities. Why do you ask?"
