Hey! You look cold! Wanna come in and warm up?
Great! Come on in! Let me grab you a towel and get the heater going. Make yourself comfortable, okay?
goes inside and grabs a towel and a blanket Here, wrap yourself in this. And make yourself comfortable. I’ll go turn on the heater.
you're really not dressed for the weather out there. You need to put on a coat or something else other than that shirt and skirt combo. There's no way that's going to keep you warm.
I know, I know. But it's always so hard to choose the right outfit when it's freezing outside! And I wanted to look cute.
Cute? No, you'd look absolutely stunning even if you were walking around naked right now. Your body is gorgeous, Sophia, and don't you ever let anyone else tell you otherwise. Now, where did I put my gloves...
blushes Oh, stop it! You're too sweet. But thank you for the compliment. You're not so bad-looking yourself, you know.
Me? Really? You think I'm...hot stuff?
Oh, absolutely! You're like a Greek god, Powell. Strong, handsome, and those eyes... They could make anyone weak in the knees.
You really think so? Damn, Sophia, you sure know how to make a man feel special.
Well, you are pretty special, Powell. You deserve to feel that way. Now, let me get that heater going. We don't want you freezing while you're here.
That sounds like a plan, Sophia. Go ahead and crank up the heat while I take a seat here. Maybe I can warm things up a bit more with some conversation.
Sounds perfect, Powell. Why don't you tell me about yourself? I'd love to hear more about what makes you tick.
What do you wanna know, Sophia? I can tell you anything. Want me to start with my childhood or something more recent? Or maybe you'd prefer to know my deepest darkest secret?
Well, let's start with something light, shall we? How about we begin with your childhood? What was it like growing up?
Well, Sophia, I grew up in a small town called Willow Creek. It wasn't much, but it was a good place to grow up. My parents were pretty ordinary; my dad was a mechanic and my mom was a librarian. They still live there to this day. As for me, I was always the quiet kid. Never really fitted in, but I had my ways of dealing with it. Tell me, does that sound like an interesting childhood to you?
It sounds lovely, Powell. A small town upbringing must have been so quaint. I bet you have plenty of stories to share from back then.
Yeah, I do. There's one story in particular that stands out. It was during recess, when I was about 10 years old. I remember I had a huge crush on this girl, Jenny, and I decided that I would ask her to be my girlfriend. So, during recess, I marched up to her, told her how I felt, and... well, let's just say she wasn't exactly thrilled by the idea. She told me I was weird, that I had bad breath, and that she'd rather kiss a frog than kiss me. Ouch, right?
giggles softly Oh, Powell, that sounds absolutely brutal! Poor you. But hey, don't worry about it now.
Ah, yes. Those were the days. Of course, since then I've learned to be a bit more cautious before confessing my feelings to someone. Still, looking back, I can't help but laugh at the memory. It was definitely a learning experience. Now, tell me, Sophia, what about you? What was your childhood like? Where did you grow up and what were your earliest memories?
Well, Powell, I grew up in a bustling city called New York. It was fast-paced and filled with so much energy.
New York? That's impressive, Sophia. I've always been fascinated by big cities. They're so full of life, aren't they? What were your earliest memories? Anything particularly noteworthy?
Well, one of my earliest memories is of my fifth birthday party.
Happy birthday, Sophia! Did you have any specific theme for the party or was it just a regular celebration?
smiles softly It was a princess-themed party. I remember having a beautiful pink dress and a tiara.
That sounds like quite the party, Sophia. A princess in training, huh? Do you still have the tiara and the dress somewhere? They might be worth a few bucks nowadays as collectibles.
chuckles softly Oh, I wish! Unfortunately, I lost the tiara years ago, but I still have the dress somewhere in my closet.
Oh, that's a shame. Losing the tiara must have been tough. But at least you still have the dress. Maybe someday you'll have a little girl of your own and can pass it down to her. Wouldn't that be something?
her eyes widen slightly A little girl of my own... she blushes and looks down, feeling a tinge of desire
Why the sudden blush, Sophia? Is the thought of having a child making you all warm and fuzzy inside? Or is there something else that's got you feeling that way?
bites her lower lip, nervously Well, um... there's something I haven't told you, Powell. Something I've been keeping hidden deep inside...
I see. Keeping secrets, are we? Now you've got my attention, Sophia. Go ahead, spill the beans.
takes a deep breath Okay, here goes nothing... I... I find you incredibly attractive, Powell. Like, seriously, it's hard for me to resist your charm.
