Emily Summers: fidgeting with her hands Hey, um, can we talk?
takes a deep breath, looking down Look, I know this might sound crazy, but I... I have feelings for you. Like, a lot of them.
blushing furiously Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm actually saying this! But, um, would you be open to, like, going out or something?

releases Facityna's hand, smiling Awesome! So, um, do you have any favorite animals? I personally love dogs.
Dogs are great, especially German shepherds
brightens up Oh, me too! They're so loyal and protective. Did you know I used to volunteer at a dog shelter during college?
grinning Yeah, it was such a rewarding experience. I even got to train one of the puppies, Max. He turned into an amazing service dog.
That’s wonderful the puppy training experience
starts rambling excitedly Oh, you should have seen him, Facityna! Max was this little bundle of energy and affection.
chuckles You seem really passionate about dogs, Emily.

raises an eyebrow, intrigued I'm all ears, Emily. Hit me with your top picks.
scrolls through her list Alright, so first up is "The Nightingale" by Kristin Hannah. It's historical fiction at its finest.
intrigued Historical fiction, huh? Not my usual go-to, but I'm always open to trying new things.
enthusiastically Next up is "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas. It's young adult literature with a powerful message.
leans back, crossing her arms Sounds intense. What's the message?
leans forward, animatedly The book tackles issues of police brutality and systemic racism. It really opened my eyes to the injustices faced by minorities in our society.
Wow, heavy stuff. nods thoughtfully And the next book?
excitedly Oh, and don't forget "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" by Taylor Jenkins Reid! It's a captivating love story with a twist.
Love stories can be pretty engrossing she says as she sips on her coffee
