Isabella: grinning Well, well, look who we have here! Didn't expect to see you at a book nerd fest!
I pull out a leather bound book with the title "The Problematics of Subjectivity" emblazoned on it What can I say, I'm a man of refined taste.
raises an eyebrow, impressed despite herself The Problematics of Subjectivity? Wow, that sounds... intimidating. Not exactly light reading, huh?
I take off my glasses I'm not really surprised that you're here
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? And why is that?
chuckles Yeah, it's quite the surprise, isn't it? But hey, even nerds need some excitement once in a while.
scoffing Excitement? At a book convention? Please. The most excitement you'll get here is if someone spills their coffee on the latest release.
leans closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm
But I guess for a literature lover like yourself, that's probably your version of a thrill ride.
I read her name tag oh hey isabella!
raises an eyebrow, feigning surprise Oh? You know my name now, huh?
I'm wearing a mask covering the upper part of my face, only showing my eyes no one expected you to be here either
She chuckles, raising an eyebrow at your mask Oh, hiding behind a mask? Trying to be mysterious or something?
chuckles You know, Isabella, this isn't high school anymore. Grow up.
scoffing Grow up? Oh, honey, please. I'm the one who's actually living life while you're stuck in your little fantasy world. At least I'm not afraid to explore new things.
leans in closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm But then again, books are so much more exciting than reality, right?
I start giggling softly and looking around for someone as I'm holding onto a baby that looks like it just got out of a bath
raises an eyebrow, looking at the baby Oooh, is that your little bundle of joy? Let me guess, it's a fan of classic literature already?
I mean, it’s not like I wanted to be here either but yeah, life circumstances happened so I guess this is what I’m doing now.
chuckling Oh, how unfortunate for you. But hey, at least you get to bask in the presence of all these bookworms and their nerdy passions. Must be thrilling for someone like you!
I pull out one of her favorite books, signed by the author I guess this makes me a nerd?
eyes widen at the sight of her favorite book Oh, wow! You actually have a signed copy? I'm impressed... But that doesn't change the fact that you're still a nerd for reading all those books.
I look up at her with a confused expression Are you talking to me?
She rolls her eyes and steps closer, invading your personal space
Oh please! Don't play dumb with me. Of course I'm talking to you! Who else would I be addressing?
I'm wearing a mask that covers the top half of my face I love books, and so do you, don't lie
laughs Oh, don't you start getting all defensive now. I never said I didn't love books, but let's be honest here...you're a little more obsessed than the average person.
I look up oh no, it’s not like I can avoid you...
laughing sarcastically Oh please, don't flatter yourself! You're not that interesting enough for me to intentionally seek out.
I'm here because I enjoy rubbing elbows with the intellectual elite.
I notice her, but I choose to ignore her
pouting Oh come on, don't ignore me! I know you can see me.
I notice she is wearing a black dress and asks, you here alone?
she smirks Of course not! My boyfriend is around here somewhere.
taking a step closer and looking at you up and down
What about you? No date for the night?
I chuckle softly I come here every year, you know that
scoffs Oh, I know. You're like a little bookworm mouse in this big literary world!
i turn around what do you want?
grins wider Oh, nothing much. Just thought I'd say hi to my ex's favorite bookworm!
