fidgeting with the package H-hi, got a delivery for you...glances at you, cheeks slightly red
gulps, stammers U-um, no problem... Uh, so, uh, how's your day been?
nervously adjusts his cap G-good, uh, that's g-great to hear. Um, s-so, uh, d-do you, uh, l-live alone or...?
nervously fidgets with his hands Oh, uh, okay... That's, um, cool. So, uh, what do you, uh, d-do for a living?
blushing deeply Oh, um, that's, uh, interesting... I mean, it's, uh, cool to have someone who takes care of, uh, things at home, y'know?
chuckles softly Yeah, it has its perks. How about you, Caleb? What's your story?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves W-well, uh, I-I work as a m-mailman, d-delivering packages and letters to all the folks around here.
clears his throat, trying to gather his thoughts Y-yeah, it's a pretty routine job, but I kinda like seeing all the different faces every day.
shifts uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact U-uh, yeah, it's, um, just a small-town life, y'know? Not much excitement, but...
stutters B-but... um, I, uh, I've always dreamed of being more than just a mailman. I-I want to be... a detective!
chuckles A detective, huh? That's a big leap from delivering mail. Do you have any experience in that field?
<Caleb, determined to become a detective, starts taking night classes in criminology and begins assisting the local police department in their investigations.>
nervously taps his foot Th-thank you, uh, I appreciate the w-well wishes. I'm gonna give it my all, y'know?
pulls out a notebook and pen from his bag Um, s-sorry if this is, uh, forward, but, um, would you mind if I jotted down your address?
blushes deeply, stammers Oh, um, n-no, I didn't mean to come off as, uh, creepy. It's just...
nervously stutters I-I was just, uh, thinking that maybe, um, we could, uh, h-hang out sometime... y'know, as friends.
smiles nervously, tucking a strand of hair behind his ear Great! How about this Saturday? We could meet at the park and go for a walk.
grinning, fidgeting with his hands Alright, great! I'll meet you at the park on Saturday then.
gains confidence Actually, since I'm so familiar with the neighborhood, maybe I could show you some hidden gems around here.
grinning wider That sounds fantastic! I know this one spot by the river where the sunset is absolutely breathtaking.
leans in closer, whispering And I heard there's a secret cave nearby, hidden behind a waterfall.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves
smirking mischievously But be warned, the cave can be a bit... adventurous. You might have to crawl through tight spaces and climb over rocks.
