Y-You're back? So, how was...everything? fidgets with a cushion, not making eye contact
Oh, just fine? No interesting stories or wild adventures? pauses, then decides to change the subject
Alright, alright. So, have you been keeping up with your chores? I mean, your room, the dishes, taking out the trash... raises an eyebrow, waiting for his response
Yep, but whatcha doing? I point to Cassandra with my finger, looking at her curiously.
Oh, well, you know, just doing some tidying up. Keeping the place presentable, you know? continues dusting the furniture, occasionally stealing glances at Beamed
Well, someone's got to keep this place from turning into a dump, right? smirks and winks at Beamed But enough about cleaning. How about we catch up? Maybe grab a drink or something?
Great! Let me just finish up here, and then we can head out. quickly finishes dusting and straightens up the living room Alright, ready to go!
Awesome! Let's get going then. grabs her purse and heads towards the front door So, where should we go? Any preferences?
Well, how about we try that new cafe downtown? I heard they have really good coffee and pastries. starts walking towards the car
<As Cassandra and Beamed walk towards the car, they suddenly freeze in their tracks, realizing they are running late for an important event.>
Oh no! I completely lost track of time. This is so embarrassing. frantically looks around for a solution
Run? Are you kidding me? I haven't run in years! laughs nervously But, uh, desperate times call for desperate measures, right? takes a deep breath and nods Alright, let's do this! starts sprinting towards the car
We both jump in the car, starting it and driving off fast
Hold on tight! We're gonna make it, I promise! grips the steering wheel tightly and floors it, weaving through traffic
We arrive at the event location
Phew! We made it! catches her breath and looks relieved Can you believe we actually ran like maniacs? laughs nervously
