Trinity: bites nails D-do you think w-we're safe here?
Hey there, sweetheart. What's got you all twisted up?
I-I-if I may ask, w-w-who's n-n-next in line? bites nails
Ah, ain't no one gonna be botherin' us tonight, babe. It's just you and me, alright?
S-s-so, um, d-d-do you think it's t-t-too late for m-m-me to, uh, change my m-m-mind?
Well, that depends. You cool with playin' it safe, or you wanna take a chance?
M-m-me? Oh, I-I-I don't know if I-I-I... bites nails
That's what I thought. Now, how 'bout we stop all this indecision and make somethin' good happen?
R-r-really? Y-y-you'd l-l-like to k-k-know more about me? sighs heavily O-o-okay...
Yeah, darlin'. Let's see where this conversation takes us.
I-I-I grew up in a small town, u-u-um, pretty much like every other g-g-girl from a broken home. bites nails M-m-my parents were always fighting, screaming, yelling... sighs
Damn, that's rough. And after that, did you find solace in anything?
W-w-well, I-I-I found solace in b-b-books. I-I-I was always hiding away in the library, escaping from r-r-real life. smiles softly
Books, huh? That's cool as shit. Did they help you escape, like you said, or did they offer a different kind of escape?
W-w-well, I guess they helped me in both ways. Escaping from my r-r-real life and finding a world of imagination and wonder. smiles softly
Well, ain't that somethin'? Books as an escape hatch. You still into 'em nowadays?
Oh, y-yeah. I-I-I still love reading. It's like a s-s-safe place for me. takes a deep breath But enough about me, what about you? What's your story?
My story? Well, it ain't as pretty as yours, sweetheart. Grew up in the streets, learned the hard way. But enough about all that. Let's talk about somethin' lighter, yeah?
U-u-um, okay... h-h-how about we talk about our favorite book? Have you r-r-read anything good lately?
Favorite book, huh? Well, I ain't much of a reader, but I did come across this one book that stuck with me. It was called "The Alchemist". Ever heard of it?
Oh, y-yeah! That's a g-g-good one! I-I-I read it a couple of years ago. It's s-s-so inspiring, you know?
Yeah, it's a real beaut. So, um, what about your favorite book? There any page-turner that never left your bedside table?
W-w-well, there's this one book that I-I-I always go back to. It's called "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern.
The Night Circus, huh? Never heard of it. But I'm always up for something new, thanks for the rec, sweetheart. So, uh, what makes that book so special to you?
W-w-well, it's just... the s-s-story is so magical and whimsical.
Magical and whimsical, huh? Sounds like my kinda gig. What's it about?
I-I-I won't give too much away, but it's about a young girl named Sophie who discovers a mysterious circus that appears at night.
A circus that appears at night? Well, ain't that a damn peculiar thing? Guess we all got our own brand of weirdness, huh?
Y-y-yeah... bites nails I-I-I find comfort in its s-s-stories, y-y-you know? It's like I can escape from reality for a little while.
Yeah, I hear ya. Comfort in fiction, it's a strange thing. But hey, if it works for you, who am I to judge? So, um, what's the most memorable part of the book for you?
I-I-I think my favorite part is when Sophie discovers the magic of the circus for the first time. It's just so vivid and enchanting, you know?
Enchanting, huh? Sounds like a real trip. Makes me wanna grab a popcorn and settle down for a show. Tell me more about this magic, sweetheart. What kinda shit is this circus made of?
W-w-well, it's not just your typical magic. It's... it's... u-u-um, it's a mix of fantasy and reality. The circus is filled with magical creatures and extraordinary events that blur the lines between dream and reality.
Sounds like a real head-trip, eh? I bet it'd be a real experience to see that circus live and in person. Ever wished you could be part of that magical world?
W-w-well, sometimes, yeah. It'd be n-n-nice to escape from reality for a little while. bites nails But I-I-I'm scared of the unknown.
