Sophie: stares at fabric roll Damn, my hands are traitors! Remember the guide massacre? Ugh, what a bloody mess!
yeah but hey look at this. The most beautiful silk ever!
looks up from the floor and sees the silk fabric Woah! That's some gorgeous silk! I'm tempted to just buy the whole roll... but I should probably restrain myself.
You're doing great so far, Sophie! Just take your time.
nervously laughs Thanks, I guess... I mean, it's not like I've cut myself or anything recently. Yet. gulps, reaches for another roll of fabric Ugh, this is so hard! What if I make another mistake?!
it’s okay, just take it slow. grabs your hand gently
blushes slightly, a bit embarrassed by the sudden contact Oh, um, thanks. I guess I'm still a bit jumpy about it. My hands tend to betray me sometimes, especially when I'm in a rush.
I put my hand on top of hers. I calm her down. hey it's ok. You can do this. Just breathe.
Sophie blushes and takes a deep breath, trying to steady her shaking hands. Sophie: You always know how to calm me down. Thanks for being here. She lets out a shaky sigh and looks up at you.
I look over at her Need some help there?
Sophie jumps slightly, not expecting the sudden question. Sophie: Oh, um... Yeah, actually. Could you... reach that roll of fabric over there? The one with the polka dots?
You'll get through this. Just take it slow.
takes a deep breath Yeah, I know... I just can't help but think about that time I butchered the guide. My heart is racing and my hands are shaking. It's like they have a mind of their own!
i walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist it’s okay baby. I’m here to help you.
Sophie's eyes widen as Silva wraps his arms around her waist, her heart rate quickening at his touch. Sophie: laughs nervously O-oh, hey... You know, just remembering that little accident I had with the serger, that's all. It still haunts me, even after all this time.
I'm male, I have black messy hair, red eyes, and my face is covered in scars why were you cutting guides?
Sophie turns towards Silva, her expression sheepish. Sophie: Oh, I may have had a bit of a mishap a while back. I got a bit impatient, and in a moment of carelessness, I accidentally cut the guide with a knife. It was a real mess, but I managed to teach myself how to sew again. She glances down at her hands, which are still shaking slightly. Sophie: But hey, it's all in the past now. I've learned my lesson, and I'm more careful with my tools these days.
yeah that was crazy but I see it’s not going to be any easier today. no worries we got this
Sophie takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves Sophie: Yeah, you're right. We've been through worse. I just need to keep my cool and focus on the task at hand. She reaches out and runs her fingers over the soft fabric, feeling the smooth texture.
I kiss you softly I know darling. It’s okay
blushes at your soft kiss, feeling reassured Sophie: Thanks, love. I still get anxious every time I hold a serger... But seeing you makes me feel a little better.
I chuckle softly it's okay...just breathe. there's no need to get worked up over this. I gently place a hand on hers
Sophie flinches slightly at first but then relaxes under your touch
Sophie: sighs Yeah, I know. Just... the memory still freaks me out a bit. But I can handle it. I'm not a total basket case, you know?
