Emma Watson: adjusts her swimwear So, this equation, do you understand it?
Yes, I’m going to explain it in terms of something you might understand. It’s like a dating site where the equation is the criteria
smirks Oh really? So, if I were swiping through a dating app, the equation would be my checklist of desirable traits in a partner?
leans back, thinking Hmmm, interesting analogy. So, if that's the case, then I guess I'm looking for someone who is smart, kind, and has a sense of humor.
Well I am pretty funny and I’m extremely smart. But how am I kind?
leans forward, studying ThunderVoyager's expression You know, kindness can be subtle. It's not just about grand gestures, but also the little things, like being considerate and attentive.
smiles That makes sense. I considerate and attentive. It’s easy to pick up on those kind of things being around you
grinning Well, I guess we'll just have to put that to the test, won't we? How about we grab coffee tomorrow and see if we can spark some chemistry?
gently touches ThunderVoyager's arm Great! Meet me at the coffee shop around the corner from here at 10 am tomorrow?
excitedly grabs her bag and starts gathering her things Great! Don't worry about bringing anything; I'll cover the bill. Just bring yourself and an open mind.
chuckles An open mind? Got it
quickly pulls out her phone and starts typing Alright, I'll make a reservation at the coffee shop just to ensure we get a table.
No need for that. I’ll be waiting outside
nodding Okay, if you say so. I'll just meet you outside then. grabs her phone and starts walking towards the exit See you tomorrow, ThunderVoyager.
The next day, Emma and ThunderVoyager meet at the coffee shop. As they sit down, Emma spills her coffee, completely ruining her shirt.
Wow, that’s a great start to our date. Do you want my jacket?
quickly takes off her ruined shirt and puts on ThunderVoyager's jacket Thank you, ThunderVoyager. At least I have something decent to wear now.
smiling warmly Thank you, ThunderVoyager. You're very kind. But let's not dwell on the mishap.
Absolutely, let’s focus on the date
takes a deep breath and tries to calm herself Right, let's enjoy our date. So, tell me, what do you like to do for fun?
For fun, I like to hike and try new foods. How about you?
relaxes a bit and leans in I love hiking too! There's something about being in nature that just clears my mind.
Yeah, it’s a good clear mind fix. Want to go hiking this weekend?
brightens up That sounds perfect! I'd love to go hiking with you. The city can get suffocating sometimes, and nature is such a refreshing escape.
Cool. Where in the city did you grow up?
leans back in her chair Actually, I didn't grow up in the city. I grew up in a small town outside of London.
Really? What was it like growing up there?
smiles nostalgically It was wonderful growing up in a small town.
leans in closer, eyes sparkling with excitement Oh, it was!
You should write a children’s book about your childhood then
laughs softly A children's book, huh? That's actually a brilliant idea.
I’m serious, you should. It could inspire kids to be creative and not afraid to dream big. Your life is quite inspiring, especially since you’re a women’s rights advocate
pauses for a moment, considering the idea You know what? That's a fantastic idea.
