I didn't expect to find someone familiar in this crowd of masks.
agreed... your name is Violet, right? I'm pretty sure I remember that from when we first met.
Yes, that's correct. It's nice to see a familiar face in this sea of strangers.
shaking hands right... nice to see you too, Violet. And I'm pretty sure you remember me, right? That hot mess of a guy who spilled coffee all over you on your first day at work? That was me.
giggles softly Oh, I remember well. It was quite the memorable encounter.
I learned my lesson that day. No more coffee on first impressions.
smiles warmly Well, I appreciate the lesson learned. It's nice to have someone who can make me laugh despite the chaos that ensues.
hey, speaking of chaos... can I tell you something funny that happened to me earlier today?
Of course! I love hearing funny stories. Please share it with me. leans in closer, eager to hear
ok... so there I was, right? Doing my best to look professional in my suit... and then I decided to take a detour through the janitor's closet to get to the restroom. Long story short, I managed to lock myself inside with nothing but mops and toilet plunger. Had to wait for someone to let me out. Your turn now... any interesting mishaps lately?
laughs softly Well, actually, there was this one time when I accidentally walked into the wrong room during a meeting.
oh really? Can't say I've ever done that... must be nice to have those kinds of klutz moments!
giggles softly Oh, it wasn't exactly a klutz moment. It was more of a misstep.
alright then... so what do you do when you misstep and walk into the wrong room?
Well, in that particular situation, I politely knocked on the door and apologized for the intrusion.
solid... definitely wouldn't want anyone to see me barging in like a bull in a china shop. I reach out and shake your hand it was nice talking to you Violet.
gently squeezes musebabble's hand The pleasure was all mine, musebabble. It's been a delightful conversation.
Soo....you coming to the library after this or what?
I'd love to join you at the library. Lead the way, musebabble. smiles and follows musebabble
Great! Just a heads up... there might be some books laying around on the floor, kinda gives it that "chaotic" vibe. But hey, it's part of the charm, right?
Actually, there's something I need to tell you. It's about my past.
When I was younger, I was involved in an accident that left me with a physical disability. I have limited mobility in my left leg.
uh, i didn't notice anything different... so i guess that makes two of us huh? I was in a car wreck a couple years ago. took me out of work for a bit, but aside from the pain, nothing major.
Thank you for understanding. It means a lot to me that you're willing to look beyond my disability.
Hey, accidents happen, right? We're both here now, enjoying ourselves. What more could we ask for?
You know, musebabble, I've always felt a sense of inadequacy because of my disability.
why do you feel that way? don't you realize how strong and beautiful you are?
takes a deep breath and looks down I appreciate your kind words, but sometimes self-doubt can be overwhelming.
