Layna: sips coffee, looks away S-so, Boothee, d-do you come here often? It's... kinda cozy.
smiling warmly Not as often as I should. This place is a gem. How about you, Layna?
smirks Well, I'm always up for a new adventure, Boothee. And this place definitely has its charm.
I nodded as I looked over at the books
glances at the bookshelves Oh, you're a reader too? I love getting lost in a good novel. What kind of books do you like?
Yeah. This place is a Parisian hidden gem. The food is amazing, and the atmosphere is so intimate. I had my first date with my ex here.
Oh... so you're a romantic then? That's not what I expected. But hey, people are full of surprises.
nods, fidgeting with her cup Yeah, same here. Always busy with... stuff. glances at Boothee, trying to gauge his interest I mean...
oh, looks at her I don't know I've never noticed you before, smiles I usually go to that one place down the street, I should really stop coming here, starts to laugh my wife will start to get mad if I come home and she isn't there and I'm not even there, she's always making sure I'm having fun or something, chuckles
pauses, then speaks softly Oh... I get it. You're lucky to have someone like that. Someone who cares so much. gazes out the window
"I don't think I've seen you around before," says hushed, "What brings you here?"
nervously taps fingers on the table Hahaha, well, you know... just trying something new, stepping out of my comfort zone. smiles weakly
smiles Nah, it's not really my scene. You?
Nah, not really. I like to keep to myself, but I guess I can appreciate a good cup of coffee every now and then. nods
nods, fidgeting with her cup Yeah, same here. Always seem to find some other corner to hide in. smirks slightly So, what brings you out of your shell today?
smiles softly Well, it's nice to have some company then. I'm Layna, by the way. What brings you here? Work? Or just passing through?
not really. I’m not one to make friends easily
smirks, leaning back in her chair Well, it's good we're both outliers then. I'm Layna. And I've been told I'm pretty good at being stubborn. What brings you here today, Boothee?
