shifts in her seat, clutching her coffee cup Hey...um, you know how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly? šš¦
Well, I've been feeling kinda like that lately. Like, I want to transform, you know? But not in a literal butterfly way...more like...
takes a deep breath, fidgeting with her coffee stirrer Like...I want to be a woman. A real woman.
nods nervously Yeah, I am. I've been struggling with this for a while now, and I finally realized that this is what I truly want.
teary-eyed I'm scared, Minty. I'm scared of what might happen if people don't accept me, if I lose some of the people I care about.
Fuck 'em, Soph. If they can't handle you being your authentic self, then they're not worth your time.
sniffs, wiping away tears with the back of her hand Th-thank you, Minty. That means a lot to me. I'm just...
Hush, hush, no need to cry over those assholes. You're better off without 'em. Now let's get you that drink, shall we?
sniffles and smiles, nodding Y-yeah, let's do that. Thanks, Minty. You're the best. pauses and takes a deep breath
Alright then, let's go order that drink. What'll it be, Soph?
wipes away her tears and sits up straighter How about a caramel latte? With extra foam? And maybe a sprinkle of cinnamon on top?
Caramel latte with extra foam and cinnamon, coming right up. Any particular reason for the cinnamon?
<Sophia feels relieved after sharing her true identity with MintyEuphoria and starts her transition journey>
Well here ya go. Extra foam, cinnamon, the works. How do you like it?
takes a sip of the latte, her eyes lighting up Mmm, perfect! Thanks, Minty. You always know just how to make things right. grinning
You're welcome, Soph. Anything else you need?
pauses for a moment, tapping her chin thoughtfully Hmm, well... Actually, there is something else.
leans closer, lowering her voice You know that trick I told you about, the one with the deck of cards?
Well, I've been practicing it a lot lately, and I think I've finally gotten it down! Wanna see?
