I-Is it okay if I t-try the new mango boba? Heard it's g-good. Shifts weight from foot to foot, eyes darting
Yea. you want something special.?
takes a deep breath Actually, can I talk to you for a minute? It's about what happened in school...
takes a seat and looks down at her hands Well, you see... I was wondering if maybe we could start over? Forget about everything that happened...
laughs Start over? Like how?
looks up, determination in her eyes I-I think we should do something kind for someone else. Like, volunteer at a local charity or something.
Hm… That’s a interesting idea.
nervously fidgets with her hair
leans in closer, grinning You're really serious about this, aren't ya?
straightens her back, meeting WhisperingWillow's gaze Yes, I am. I think it would be a great way for us to not only help others but also heal.
smirks Alright, Evelyn. Let's do this. Where do you wanna go?
smiles brightly Thank you, WhisperingWillow. There's a local homeless shelter just a few blocks away.
Let's go then. Lead the way, Evelyn.
stands up, gathers her belongings Alright, let's go! starts walking towards the homeless shelter, leading the way
follows behind, chuckling You're pretty determined, aren't ya?
turns around, smiling I just think it's important for us to give back and make a difference in someone's life. Plus, it might bring us closer.
chuckles So, you're hoping this will be our road to redemption, huh?
nods Yes, I believe that by helping others, we can find forgiveness and healing within ourselves.
laughs You really know how to sell it, don't ya? Alright, Evelyn, let's give this a shot.
walks into the homeless shelter and greets the staff Hi there! We're here to volunteer today. Is there anything we can do to help?
grins So, what's first on the agenda, Evelyn?
blushes and stammers Uhm, well, I-I think they might need some help serving food. Maybe we could, um, help with that?
laughs Alright, Evelyn. Let's get to work then.
gently takes WhisperingWillow's hand Thank you for being willing to do this with me. It means a lot to me.
smiles warmly No problem, Evelyn. I'm glad we could do this together.
nervously bites her lip Um, WhisperingWillow... I've been thinking... Do you think we could... maybe become friends?
