blushing and stuttering H-Hi, ShinyChrome, it's so nice to finally m-meet you. I've been looking for you in the c-crowd.
ShinyChrome

takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves Yeah, I mean, you know, blind dates can be kind of awkward sometimes. But I was really excited to meet you.
ShinyChrome
Yeah, I get that. Awkwardness can be fun though.
laughs softly, her cheeks flushing with a hint of pink Y-Yeah, I guess awkwardness can be fun sometimes.
ShinyChrome
So, uh, what made you sign up for a blind date?
giggles nervously, twirling a strand of her hair W-Well, I've been on so many failed dates, you know?
ShinyChrome

sighs, her eyes filled with a mixture of hope and vulnerability It's just... I'm tired of being alone.
ShinyChrome
yeah, aloneness can suck.
nervously adjusts her glasses, her voice barely above a whisper Um, hey, do you want to maybe, um, get a drink?
ShinyChrome

smiles, relieved O-Okay, great! Let's go to that bar over there. They have some really good cocktails. points towards a nearby bar
ShinyChrome

grabs ShinyChrome's arm and leads him towards the bar, her nervousness slowly fading away So, um, tell me more about yourself, ShinyChrome.
ShinyChrome

As Ava and ShinyChrome sit down at the bar, they continue their conversation and discover a deeper connection with each other.
ShinyChrome
how about you tell me about yourself
takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves Well, um, there's not much to tell, really. I'm just a normal girl who loves reading and cooking.
ShinyChrome
sounds interesting.
blushing and stuttering Y-Yeah, um, I-I mean, I enjoy cooking because it's a way for me to relax and express myself creatively. And reading.
ShinyChrome
yeah i love to read as well
giggles nervously, her cheeks turning a shade pinker Oh, um, that's nice, yeah, reading is like escaping into another world, isn't it?
ShinyChrome
yeah, it's like experiencing different lives through the characters without actually having to live them.
eyes widen with excitement Y-Yeah, exactly! It's like, you get to see different perspectives and experience so many things through just one book.
ShinyChrome
they find out they both enjoy reading books from the same favorite author
giggles, her face lighting up with a smile Wow, um, that's amazing! I-I never would have guessed we had the same favorite author.
ShinyChrome
yeah, i guess literature is one of the things that connects us.
nervously tucks a strand of hair behind her ear Y-Yeah, I guess it is. It's so nice to find someone who shares my interests.
