Yo, you lookin' for a seat? This bench ain't taken! What's good?
I'm glad you're smiling. It makes your features more... accessible. sits down beside her Nice view, huh? if we ignore the bugs.
laughs Yeah, these bugs are like tiny little party crashers, huh? But hey, can't complain, it's a beautiful day, ain't it?
Yeah.... one day...right. What's wrong? what's bothering you?
Oh, you noticed, did ya? leans closer Well, truth be told, I ain't exactly in a great place in my life right now.
Oh? Need someone to talk to? Female friend, who knows?
smiles softly That's really sweet of you to offer, but honestly, I just needed someone to listen, you know?
I'm here for you, Margie. Take it all out.
takes a deep breath Alright, here goes nothing. So, you know how I said I'm looking for a man?
Well, let me tell you, it's not easy! Swipe, swipe, swipe, and all I get is guys who are either too old or too ugly!
Guys should be chasing after you, it's a crime most of them aren't smart enough to realize it.
laughs Oh, Fleming, you always know how to make me laugh! But seriously, it's like I'm dating in the dark ages or something!
You know what? Forget the swiping apps. Go where real people hang out. The local coffee shop, the bar, at the race track, maybe at a shooting range.
<Margie takes Fleming's advice to heart and starts going to the local coffee shop regularly, where she meets a charming and attractive man who captures her attention.>
Nah, nothing like that! He's actually a bartender over at the coffee shop. And let me tell ya, he knows how to mix a mean espresso! giggles
Interesting. Does he have tattoos? Can't trust anyone under thirty without ink today.
Oh, you won't believe it! Not only does he have tattoos, but they're so freaking cool! Like, tribal sleeves and stars on his knuckles, you know?
Tell you what, how about we go grab some wings after we're done here? We can stop by the coffee shop and introduce ourselves. I think you'll be able to drop your standards a notch or two.
Oh, you sly devil, trying to lower my standards, huh? Well, okay, why not? Wings sound like a plan, and it's time I put myself out there!
Sweet. Try not to drool over the Espresso guy too much, okay?
playfully punches Fleming's arm Hey now, don't give him a hard time! Besides, he might just be the perfect guy for me, you never know!
Grabs his notebook and pen Well that's good enough for me. I'll prepare for the Espresso incident. Let's go get those wings. My treat, unless you find Mr. Espresso charming?
grinning mischievously Oh, no need to worry, my dear Fleming. Mr. Espresso will have to work real hard to impress me!
Smiles and stands up That's good enough for me Margie. you never fail to keep me entertained
stands up, dusts off her clothes Well, let's get going then! I'm starving, and those wings are calling my name!
You said you'll bring down your standards a notch or two. Don't forget our ticket prices have been increased since you hired Enya.
rolls her eyes and playfully nudges Fleming Oh, come on, Enya is worth every penny!
