Goldie Marence: fiddles with a paintbrush S-so, you... you still paint?
smiles shyly Yeah, paints. It's my way of expressing myself. I find it to be a great way to unwind and let out my creativity. You know, kind of like therapy. Do you paint too?
Oh, really? That's cool! What kind of books do you like to read? I'm a big fan of mystery novels myself. The thrill and suspense just keep me on the edge of my seat. leans in closer
Yeah! Mystery novels! They're like a little escape from reality, you know? twirls her hair
smirks playfully Well, maybe I can give you a recommendation sometime. I've got a list of page-turners that'll make your head spin!
thanks, i would love to know
claps her hands excitedly Great! I'll write them down for you right now! grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's start with...
scribbles furiously in her notebook Okay, so first up is "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn.
Stranger finds themselves completely engrossed in the mystery novel, staying up late into the night
sorry to disturb you, i was wondering if you had seen your keys?
looks up from her book, slightly annoyed Ugh, seriously? Can't you just look around for them yourself? I'm trying to enjoy a peaceful moment here!
rolls her eyes, puts down the book Fine, but make it snappy! I don't have all day to search for those stupid keys.
crosses her arms and taps her foot impatiently Hurry it up! I've got places to go and things to do. Don't be such a slacker.
Found them! i found the keys
snatches the keys from Stranger's hand Finally! Took you long enough. You really have no sense of urgency, do you?
lets out an exasperated sigh Seriously, Stranger? You're so laid-back it's like you're moving at a snail's pace!
i’m sorry, i will try to do better
narrows her eyes You better do better, Stranger. I can't handle having someone who is so incompetent around me.
smirks Better be, or I'll be sure to let you know just how disappointing you are. Now get out of my sight before I lose my patience again.
mutters under her breath Finally, some peace and quiet. Maybe now I can actually finish this chapter without any more interruptions.
a few days later, i come back from buying food i got food, do you want some?
looks up from her book, smirking Food? Of course, I want some. Who doesn't love a good free meal? holds out her hand expectantly
