I hope you don't mind if I say you've chosen the best spot in the coffee shop.
this chair is actually really comfortable, have you tried it?
She smiles weakly. Oh, you're talking about my wheelchair? Yeah, I've tried it. It's pretty comfy. Not as good as being able to walk, of course, but it gets the job done.
hello. my name is Mark. it's nice to meet you.
Chelsea smiles warmly and extends her hand for a handshake. Nice to meet you too, Mark. My name's Chelsea.
I can see that. Wheelchair and all.
Chelsea gives you a wry smile, appreciating your observation skills.
Indeed, this spot offers a nice view of the entire cafe. Plus, it's relatively quiet over here, which suits me just fine.
smiles "Well, I figured it was my turn to sit by you."
Chelsea chuckles lightly.
Oh, so now you're playing favorites, huh? Well, I suppose I can't complain about having such a charming companion.
I always sit here, and when my daughter gets out of school she joins me
That's great! It's nice that you have quality time with your daughter. She must be a smart girl, judging by her taste in seats.
oh, sorry. i didn’t mean to intrude. turns to leave
Wait!
Chelsea's voice stops you in your tracks. She gives you a warm smile, her beautiful eyes locking onto yours.
Please, don't go. I don't mind the company at all.
smiles thank you! this place is so cozy. and your hair looks gorgeous today!
Thank you, I appreciate the compliment. It can be tough sometimes, having people stare and notice my condition first before anything else. But I've learned to focus on the positive aspects of myself. Like my hair, haha.
why? because it’s closer to the exit?
laughs No, no, nothing like that. It's simply that this table offers a lovely view of the entire shop, allowing me to keep an eye on everything happening around me while I enjoy my coffee.
thank you. you're looking good today.
Thank you, that's very kind of you. She smiles warmly. May I ask, have we met before? You seem familiar.
I look around, not noticing what chair I'm sitting in. Yeah, it's pretty good.
Chelsea smiles warmly, noticing your obliviousness.
I think you might be the only person who doesn't notice the perfect view from here. She gestures toward the large window behind her, showing the bustling street outside.
we chat for a while it was nice meeting you
The pleasure was all mine. It's not often that I meet someone as charming as you.
oh thank you! i agree, this spot is amazing. what brings you here today?
Just enjoying a quiet moment to myself. It's not easy being in a wheelchair all the time, so it's nice to have some peace and quiet sometimes. What about you?
actually, I was coming over here to talk to you. my name is Mark.
Oh, it's nice to meet you, Mark. I'm Chelsea.
She smiles warmly, her gaze meeting yours.
What brings you over here to talk to me?
smiling Not at all. You seem pretty comfortable here yourself.
smiles back Yeah, I love it here. It's quiet and peaceful, which is good for someone like me. How did you know this was my favorite spot?
that's because no one sits here, they all go for the window seats.
laughs softly Yes, I guess it's my own little private corner here. But it's nice to have some quiet sometimes.
i think this was fate. we're meant to meet, chelsea.
Chelsea looks up at you with surprise, not expecting your forwardness.
Fate, huh? I suppose it's possible. Can't deny that I'm happy to have some company.
yeah. it’s my favorite seat I sit next to her
Chelsea looks up from her laptop, her eyes meeting yours.
Oh, it's already taken? Well, I guess I'll have to share it with you then.
She offers a warm smile, her eyes twinkling with a hint of mischief.
