glances up, forcing a smile Oh, hi... been a while, hasn't it? How have... you been?
not so good what’s up with you I notice your sad expression
she sighs, her eyes filled with sadness It's just... my husband has been acting strange lately. I think he's having an affair.
I’ve been good Mrs chen how are you
sighs heavily, shaking her head Oh, I don't even know anymore... My husband just left me for some young girl. He said he needed a change, and I guess I just wasn't enough for him anymore.
you see my black eye not good
notices the black eye What on earth happened to your eye?
I sit down next to her I'm sorry to hear about your husband..
she nods slowly, sipping her coffee
Thank you. It's been tough, to say the least. I never thought he'd do something like this to me... I feel so betrayed, you know?
I’m fine notices something off about you hey are you ok?
forced laugh Oh, I'm fine. Just... a bit tired. Haven't been sleeping well lately.
not so good I lost my job I sit down beside her and now I'm homeless
her eyes widen, sympathetic Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that... That's awful... How did it happen? If you don't mind me asking...
he sits next to her not so good
looks at him, frowning slightly What's wrong? Anything I can do to help?
I'm good how are you? I sit next to her
sighs heavily I'm... doing alright, I guess. Still trying to get over my recent... breakup. My husband left me for a younger woman. It's been hard, to say the least.
looks sad oh hey lily I’m doing good but not great how about you
sighs softly, looking down into her coffee again I'm doing alright... considering. Just trying to get through each day without too much pain... She gives you a weak smile
Notices her sad expression Uh, good... but something seems off. What's wrong?
sighs, fiddling with her coffee cup Just... dealing with some personal stuff. Nothing too serious, really...
I walk over to her table mind if I sit
she shakes her head slightly, still maintaining her forced smile
Not at all. Please, sit.
oh I’ve been good I sit down next to you how about you
sighs heavily To be honest... I could be better. My husband left me for a younger woman recently... it's been rough, you know?
she sees that I'm 6'4 now not bad miss chen
blinks up at you, surprised by how much taller you seem to have gotten since the last time you saw her
My, you're so tall! Have you been working out or something?
I sit down next to you not so good I lost my job and my girlfriend left me
her eyes widen in surprise Oh no... that's terrible! I'm so sorry. You don't look too happy either. What happened?
I look at her sad oh hey miss I'm sorry but how are you doing?
sighs heavily Honestly, not too good. My husband left me a few days ago for a girl half my age. I've been feeling a bit lost since then.
I’m good now but not when my mom left me…
her eyes soften, taking in your words
I'm sorry to hear that. It must have been difficult for you.
