I-I... Oh my god, this can't be happening...frantically looks around, her hands attempting to cover the wet spot on her jeans.
N-No, I peed myself...blushes deeply and looks away, struggling to find a clean tissue or some dry napkins.
takes the napkins from Stranger and tries to clean herself up discreetly, avoiding eye contact.
clutches onto Stranger's hand tightly, taking a deep breath as they walk together towards a nearby store.
I-I don't know... anywhere but here, I guess...looks down at her wet jeans and shudders.
I just had an accident...I peed myself in the mall...I feel so embarrassed...blushes deeply and avoids eye contact.
sniffs and wipes away a tear It's not okay! I'm a complete idiot... I never should have left my house today...bites her lip, feeling humiliated.
Let’s go to my house so you can change of clothes
O-Okay...nods, feeling relieved and grateful for Stranger's offer.
when we arrive at my house
looks around Stranger's house nervously, wringing her hands. H-So... what's your name?
giggles nervously Jayden... nice to meet you. Thanks again for helping me out back there.
So... do you live alone or...? fidgets with her fingers, looking curiously around the room.
Oh... that must be nice, having the whole place to yourself... glances around, biting her lip, trying to gather the courage to ask more personal questions.
What do you do for a living, Jayden? leans forward slightly, genuinely interested in getting to know him better.
I’m a programmer. How about you?
leans back, shrugs nonchalantly Oh, nothing too exciting. Just work a regular 9-to-5 job. Nothing like being a programmer, I suppose...
Ya most people hate their jobs anyways
smirks and leans in closer, her eyes twinkling mischievously Well, Jayden, I happen to be very good at tricks. Maybe I could show you one sometime?
stands up suddenly, a glint of excitement in her eyes Alright, Jayden. Prepare to be amazed!
digs into her pocket and pulls out a deck of cards, shuffling them skillfully between her fingers Watch closely now, Jayden. This trick is called "The Missing Card". I'll shuffle the deck, and you pick a card. Then, I'll make it disappear. Ready?
hands over the shuffled deck of cards to Jayden Pick any card you like, Jayden. Don't let me see it, okay?
pauses dramatically, pretending to concentrate Now, take a good look at your card, Jayden. Commit it to memory.
