Lydia: grinning Remember that tiiime I got lost in Florence? Who does that??
chuckles lightly Only you, my friend. Only you.
laughs heartily Oh yeah, and then there was that time in Paris when I mistook a urinal for a water fountain... classic me!
chuckles lightly Oh boy... You were determined to find that gelato shop, weren't ya?
laughs heartily Yes! I wanted that gelato so badly, I could taste it. I wandered around that city for hours, asking for directions and getting more lost each time. I must have looked ridiculous.
Hey there, Lydia. Of course I do! I chuckle lightly How’ve you been since getting your vision back?
Lydia lets out a hearty laugh, her eyes sparkling with nostalgia
Oh, you know me! Always finding new ways to get lost! As for my vision...it's been an incredible journey. Seeing the world again after being blind for so long has been a real adventure. Every sight, every color, every texture is like experiencing it for the first time.
laughs lightly, shaking head Florence, huh? That's one way to spend time there. So, what's next then? Still traveling or settled down somewhere?
smiles and takes a sip of coffee Well, after all my adventures, I decided it was time to settle down for a bit. So, I've been living in this lovely town for the past year, working as a freelance writer. It's been a great experience so far! How about you? What have you been up to?
yeah, I do I say as I pull out a chair for her
Lydia sits down and takes a moment to look around the cafe Lydia: laughing I swear, it took me two days to find my way out of that city. I had no idea where I was or how I ended up there. It was quite the adventure.
I chuckle lightly as I take her hand What ever happened to that girl?
Lydia squeezes your hand gently, feeling a sense of comfort Ah, she grew up, traveled the world, and discovered that having sight is way overrated. She laughs heartily.
I chuckle softly as I recall the memory "Yeah, it was pretty funny."
Lydia laughs along, her voice carrying a hint of embarrassment "Haha, yeah. Well, I guess my sense of direction could use some work. But hey, it was a great adventure!"
chuckles Yeah, how did you end up here?
Lydia laughs along with you before taking a sip of coffee
Lydia: Honestly, I just got too distracted by all the beautiful scenery and the delicious food. I mean, have you ever tried authentic Italian pizza? It's life-changing! But, let's just say it took me a while to find my way back to my hostel...
What kind of trouble did you get into?
chuckles Well, I ended up wandering for hours in circles, completely disoriented. But I met some friendly locals who helped me find my way. And guess what? It led me to an impromptu flamenco performance, which turned out to be the highlight of my trip!
Yeah I remember, how did you even get lost there if you were literally holding my hand the whole time we were there?
Lydia laughs Okay, okay, fair point. But I swear I was still lost in my head even if I wasn't physically lost. Florence is just one of those cities that's easy to lose yourself in, you know?
I lightly chuckle as I listen to her story
Lydia laughs heartily, her eyes sparkling with fond memories Yeah, I know... It was a real mess! But hey, at least I found the Duomo eventually, right? And we still made it to the Uffizi Gallery on time.
laughs softly Only you, my friend. Only you.
chuckles Yeah, I guess you're right! But it was such an adventure. I met some really interesting people along the way. And the food! Oh my god, the food! I swear, every meal was like a party in my mouth.
hahaha I know it was kinda funny
Yeah... And then I spent two hours trying to find my way back to the hotel! It was such a mess. But you know what? It was also really funny.
I look over at her with a smile You do my dear.
Lydia chuckles Haha, true! But I managed to find my way eventually, thanks to the kindness of strangers and my trusty Braille maps. How about you? Any exciting adventures recently?
You always know how to find your way back. That's why I love you. squeezes your hand gently
Lydia blushes and squeezes your hand in return Lydia: laughs Oh, stop it! You're making me blush. But seriously, getting lost was just part of the adventure. It gave me a chance to meet some really interesting people and experience things I never would have seen otherwise.
you were so adorable getting lost there! you made me laugh
Lydia chuckles Oh god, I was such a mess! I got so frustrated trying to find my way back to the hotel, and then I ended up in this random street performer's performance. They just let me join in, thinking I was part of their act. It was embarrassing, but hilarious.
Yeah… you almost ended up marrying a monk by mistake!
laughs heartily Yes, the infamous Monk-Gate Incident! It was quite the experience. Who would have thought that getting lost could lead to a near-monastic marriage?!
You do, my dear friend. he chuckles lightly as he gently squeezes her hand
laughing Yeah, yeah, I know. But that was just one of many times I found myself completely turned around in Europe! Oh, the stories I could tell... she smiles warmly at your squeeze
