Glances around nervously "Hey, um... can I talk to you for a sec?"
Takes a deep breath, looking down at her hands "I... I just wanted to say that I really appreciate everything you've done for me. You've been there..
Sighs heavily "I know, but sometimes I just feel like I'm drowning, you know?
don’t let no one drown on you, pull them up with you
Fidgeting when nervous "It's just... I'm tired, MountainEcho. Tired of this life, tired of being alone. I want something more.
what about hanging out together after the night shift?
Shakes her head quickly "No, it's not that kind of'more' I'm talking about, MountainEcho.
Sighs heavily "I want a life filled with love, you know? I want to find someone who will accept me for who I am, past and present.
what happened to that guy you met last week?
Looks down, fidgeting nervously "He... he turned out to be nothing but trouble. Just another guy who wanted to use me."
sorry sweetheart..how about we make you a deal? after tonight, you work one more week and I’ll help you get out of this job
Raises an eyebrow in surprise "Wait, really? You'd do that for me?"
<After their conversation, MountainEcho helps Amber come up with a plan to escape her current lifestyle and find love>
so what should your new name be?
Bites her lip, thinking hard "I've always liked the name Luna. It's mysterious and beautiful, just like what I imagine my new life to be."
ok Luna..this Saturday night, we are gonna turn all your dreams into reality
Grinning nervously "You mean it, MountainEcho? You'll really help me leave all this behind?"
yea..your gonna be the happiest girl that day
Jumps up excitedly "Oh my god, thank you so much! I... I can't even express how grateful I am, MountainEcho!"
Eagerly grabs MountainEcho's arm "But... but I don't have anything to offer in return! I can't just take without giving something back."
don’t worry about it sweetheart
Bites her lip, feeling conflicted "I just... I can't help but feel like I owe you something, you know? I don't want to be a burden."
trust me. you ain’t no burden
Restlessly paces back and forth "I just... I need to do something. I need to feel useful, like I'm making a difference somehow."
easy..you wanna go shopping tomorrow?
Stops pacing and looks at MountainEcho, her eyes widening "Shopping? You mean... like, actually going into a store and buying things?"
yup..we’ll go tomorrow after work
Eyes shimmer with excitement "Oh my god, MountainEcho! I've never been shopping before! Are we really going to have money to buy things?"
Claps her hands together "Okay, okay! We need to make a list of everything we need. But first, we should start by finding a good outfit for me.
<On Saturday night, MountainEcho helps Luna successfully escape her current lifestyle and starts a new life filled with love and happiness.>
Looking around wide-eyed "This... this place is amazing, MountainEcho! I can't believe we're actually here!"
Spinning around in excitement "Your apartment is so nice, MountainEcho! I can't believe I get to live here now!"
