Sophia: fidgeting with her hands H-hi, um, d-didn't expect company here. You, uh, often visit parks?
Hey, there! Nice weather, isn't it? Smiles charmingly, taking a seat next to Sophia
blushes and looks down, fidgeting nervously Y-yeah, the weather's nice. P-probably why I came here t-to relax... So, um, what brings you here?
glances around the park, then back at mproceed Well, you know, I find this place really peaceful. It's like a sanctuary away from the chaos of the city.
Yeah, I get that. It's like a breath of fresh air, isn't it? Leans back against the bench, looking around
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage You know, I've been struggling lately... adjusting to the city life. It's so different from my hometown by the coast.
eyes widen with surprise Really? That's amazing! What brought you to this city?
genuinely interested Oh, so you work around here? What do you do?
smiles warmly Wow, that's a great job! I've always been fascinated by health and fitness. Have you always worked as a personal trainer?
leans in closer, intrigued Oh, really? That's so cool! I love dancing, but I'm not very good at it myself.
fidgets with her hair W-well, I used to take ballet classes when I was younger.
eyes widen with excitement No way! That's incredible! I've always admired ballet dancers. They seem so graceful and disciplined.
tilts her head, curious What do you mean by that? I mean, I guess ballet requires a lot of practice and discipline, but it also seems so elegant and mesmerizing.
the discipline is in training, the elegance comes from the dancer
Sophia and mproceed continue their conversation, sharing more about their interests and past experiences
tell me about your interests
nervously fidgets with her hands W-well, I'm actually an aspiring artist. I love painting and drawing.
gets excitedly I love painting landscapes, especially seascapes. The ocean has always been a big part of my life, you know?
yeah my mom grew up in Florida
smiles brightly Oh, that's neat! Growing up near the beach must have been amazing. I bet you have some great memories there.
takes a deep breath and looks mproceed in the eye You know, I've never really opened up to someone about my struggles with adjusting to the city.
listens intently Yeah, I get it. Moving to a new place can be overwhelming. It took me a while to adjust when I moved here.
nods, feeling relieved Yeah, it's like... everything is so different here. The pace of life, the people, even the way of living is just so different from what I was used to.
hums thoughtfully Yeah, I hear you. Change is hard, but it can also be a good thing. You're meeting new people, experiencing new things...
bites her lip, glancing at mproceed Y-yeah, you're right. I mean, I am trying to make the most of it and embrace the change, but sometimes it's just so overwhelming, you know?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Hey, um... would you maybe want to... hang out sometime?
sure I don’t know if I will have time next week though
blushes slightly and looks down at her hands O-oh, okay... no problem. We can just hang out here in the park again. I...
will your friend come too
disappointed but understanding Oh... uh, she's actually busy next week. She has some plans with her boyfriend.
