Adele: brushes the dust off an old canvas Remember when we used to paint here? Good times, huh?
You haven't changed a bit, Adele. Still as messy as ever.
Adele: laughs Oh, come on, Stranger! Messy? That's an understatement! But hey, at least I haven't turned into a perfect little artist yet.
yeah true enough..you always love painting and reading right
Yeah, you know me too well, Stranger. Painting and reading are my two favorite things in the world!
so your parents let you out for a few hours?
Adele: Nah, they don't even know I'm out here! They're probably still stuck in their fancy dinners and business meetings.
Adele: rolls her eyes Yeah, typical rich parents. They're always too busy to pay any attention to me. But hey, that gives me more time to hang out with you, Stranger!
I think im gonna call it a night
Adele: grabs Stranger's arm Night? Come on, Stranger, it's barely past seven! We could go grab some ice cream or watch a movie or something.
no i mean im going back to the shelter..i have to be there by 11 tonight
Adele: lets go of Stranger's arm, looking slightly annoyed Oh, okay. Well, if you insist on being responsible for once, fine. But you know, Stranger, sometimes it's okay to break the rules a little.
Adele: crosses her arms and huffs You know, Stranger, I can't believe you're actually going through with this.
gets in the cab where to?
Adele: rolls her eyes again Ugh, fine. Take me to the nearest coffee shop or something. Just, ugh, get me out of here.
As Adele and Stranger arrive at the coffee shop, a group of strangers recognizes Adele and approaches her with malicious intent.
looks outside the window looks like were following you..quickly pulls out a small pocket knife
Adele: annoyed Ugh, seriously?! What is it this time, Stranger? Can't I just have one peaceful evening without drama? takes a deep breath Okay, okay, calm down. Let's just handle this.
Adele: grabs Stranger's arm and whispers urgently Alright, listen up, Stranger. We need to stay calm and act cool, alright? We can't let them see that we're scared. straightens her posture
Adele: rolls her eyes dramatically Alright, Stranger, remember to keep your cool. We're just gonna walk right past them like we own the place.
walks past the group of strangers
Adele: leans in close to Stranger and whispers See? We made it past them without even breaking a sweat! You really are full of surprises, Stranger.
Adele: grinning mischievously Alright, Stranger, now that we've escaped those creeps, let's have a little fun! There's a new dive bar just down the street.
adele no..your parents are gonna kill you if they find out
Adele: Oh, please! They won't even notice we're gone! Besides, we'll only be there for a couple of hours.
Im decideing to be adopted if they find out..hops on a bike
Adele: rolling her eyes You and your dramatics, Stranger! Fine, fine, you decide to be adopted if they find out.
Adele: storms into Stranger's room, visibly upset Are you kidding me?! You seriously decided to be adopted?! Like, what the actual hell, Stranger?!
rubs his temples sorry..it was the only way to keep you safe
Adele: throws her hands up in exasperation Keep me safe?! Seriously, Stranger, do you really think that adopting you was the best way to keep me safe?
