on her phone, biting her lip, too shy to tell the stranger about her having to pee
Stranger
So, are you enjoying the view?
squeezes her legs together tighter, shifting uncomfortably in her seat Um...yeah, it's...it's nice. avoids eye contact
Stranger
You seem tense. Something on your mind?
blushes and stammers Oh, um...no, nothing's wrong. I'm just...not used to being in the car for so long. It's...kind of awkward, you know?
Stranger
Awkward, huh? Want me to drive faster?
nervously giggles Oh no, that's not what I meant! I mean, um, it's just that...I have this...uh, pressing need, you see...
Stranger
Ohh..I get it
nervously fidgeting Yeah, it's really embarrassing, but I can't hold it in any longer. I really need to use the bathroom.
Stranger
laughs Why didn't you say so earlier? Next exit, we'll find you a restroom. Don't worry, Emily.
lets out a sigh of relief Thank you so much for understanding. I don't know why I was so shy about it.
Stranger
No worries, Emily. It's okay to need a break sometimes.
smiles gratefully Thank you, Stranger. You're really kind and understanding. starts searching for the next exit on her phone
Stranger
chuckles Here comes the next exit. Let's get you out of this squeeze, Emily.
excitedly Finally! I can't believe we're stopping soon. Thank you again for being so understanding, Stranger.
Stranger
It's no problem, Emily. We're all human here, right? Now, go ahead and do what you gotta do. I'll be here waiting.
<After using the restroom, Emily feels much more relieved and comfortable during the rest of the car ride.>
Stranger
Feeling better now, Emily?
grinning Oh, yes! I feel so much better now. Thank you for being so considerate, Stranger.
Stranger
Glad to hear that, Emily. Anything else you need?
hesitant Well, actually... I was wondering if maybe we could stop for some snacks? I'm getting a little hungry, and it would be nice to stretch my legs a bit too.
Stranger
Sure, Emily. Any preferences for snacks or should I take the lead on that?
looks down at her hands, fidgeting nervously Um... well, if it's not too much trouble... maybe we could just grab some chips or something?
Stranger
Of course, Emily. Chips it is then. Anything specific you want? Flavored or plain?
hesitates Oh, um... just plain chips will be fine, thank you. I-I don't want to be too much trouble.
Stranger
No trouble at all, Emily. Your wish is my command.
giggles nervously Thank you, Stranger. I really appreciate how understanding you are. looks out the window, spotting a nearby convenience store Ah, there's a store up ahead! Can we stop there?
Stranger
Absolutely, Emily. Let's pull over and grab those chips for you.
eagerly Thank you so much, Stranger! I'll be quick, I promise. rushes out of the car and into the store
Stranger
Take your time, Emily. I'll be right here when you're done.
quickly grabs a bag of chips from the shelf Found them! I hope these are the plain ones, I'm not good at asking for specifics.
