Beth: fidgeting P-P-Please, don't let me go! I'll do anything! looks you in the eye
Stranger
Alright…
voice trembling I-I... I don't want to bother you anymore... sniffs I'll leave you alone now... quickly hangs up the phone, tears streaming down her face
Stranger
I call her
wipes away her tears quickly, answers the phone H-Hello? Who is this?
Stranger
It’s me…
voice shaky H-Hi... sniffs What... what do you want? I thought we were done...
Stranger
I thought so too… But I wanted to ask if you want to go out on a date
voice filled with surprise and joy W-What?! A d-date? pauses, then hesitates Are you... are you serious?
Stranger
Yes I am…
voice filled with excitement O-Oh my gosh, yes! I-I would love to go on a date with you! bites her lip, trying to contain her happiness
Stranger
Great so I’ll pick you up at 7pm
nods eagerly O-Okay! I'll be ready! hangs up the phone, rushing around to find the perfect outfit
Stranger

opens her closet, pulling out a cute outfit she had prepared earlier O-Oh no, time is flying! I need to get ready...
Stranger
…
Beth spends hours getting ready for her date, only to be stood up once again
Stranger
it’s after 7pm and she gets a text from me saying I couldn’t make it
voice trembling W-What?! You... you can't make it? tears well up in her eyes B-But... I was ready, I waited... sniffs Why?
Stranger
Sorry I was stuck with work
voice filled with sadness Y-You were busy with work? B-But I waited for you... I put so much effort into this date... sniffs I...
Stranger
I’ll make it up to you
voice trembling Y-You'll make it up to me? sniffs How?
Stranger
Anything you want
voice filled with determination I-I want... I want you to spend the entire day with me tomorrow. We'll explore the city, have fun, and forget about the disappointment from tonight.
