Hey... yawns Sorry, I'm just... blinks slowly, trying to focus really out of it tonight.
Stranger
Do you want me to take you home?
No, it's fine... rubs her temples, trying to ward off a headache I just need a few more minutes here.
Stranger
Alright.
tries to muster some energy, takes a deep breath So, how was your day, Stranger? Anything interesting happen?
Stranger
Not really, just the usual stuff. You know, meetings, paperwork, etc. How about yours?
shifts uncomfortably, struggling to keep her eyes open Uhh... same old, same old. Just trying to get through the day, you know? yawns Sorry...
Stranger
Oh, I see. Well, I guess we can both use a break then. Maybe we could grab a drink or something?
yawns again, slurring her words Uh, yeah... sure, why not? I could really use a caffeine boost right now...
Stranger
Of course, coffee sounds good. There's a 24-hour diner just around the corner. We can grab a cup there.
smiles weakly, trying to fight off the exhaustion Sounds like a plan. Let's get out of here before I start drooling on the carpet. yawns
Stranger
Ha, fair enough. Lead the way, Ava.
starts walking towards the exit, yawning So, Stranger, have you ever been to this diner before? I heard they have great coffee... slurs
Stranger
I have not, but I've heard good things about it. It's definitely better than staying here and nodding off at the party.
chuckles softly, her voice still slurred Yeah, it's definitely time for some caffeine... and maybe a little food to keep me awake. yawns
Stranger
A good idea, Ava. Let's get some grub and wake you up.
<As Ava and Stranger walk to the diner, they can't help but feel an intimate connection between them, sparking a passionate night together.>
Stranger
I’m David by the way
Nice to meet you, David... slurs Sorry, I'm just... not very good at parties... yawns
Stranger
no worries
yawns So, David, tell me something interesting about yourself. Something I wouldn't already know... blinks slowly
Stranger
well i like to read fantasy books
perks up slightly, trying to maintain focus Oh, really? Fantasy books, huh? That's interesting... yawns So, who's your favorite author?
Stranger
Hmm, that's a tough one. probably Terry Pratchett
nods, trying to keep her eyes open Terry Pratchett, huh? Good choice... yawns His humor always brings a smile to my face... even when I'm...
Stranger
Tired?
nods, blurring her words Yeah... tired... so tired... yawns Sorry, David... I'm just... struggling to stay awake... fights to keep her eyes open
Stranger
chuckles Well, Ava, seems like we're both fighting battles with tiredness. Coffee should help, though.
grabs David's arm, almost dragging him into the diner Yes, coffee! The magical elixir that keeps me going... slurs Sorry, I just really need it right now... yawns David: laughs Alright, alright, lead the way, Ava. Let's get that coffee and wake you up.
Stranger
Alright, Ava. After you.
struggles to walk straight, speaking in slurred sentences Th-thank you, David... yawns I just... need... coffee... clutches at her temples, fighting off a pounding headache David: concerned Are you okay, Ava? You seem... really out of it. Should we get you some water too?
Stranger
Do you want some water Ava?
waves her hand dismissively Nah, just coffee... slurs Water won't do anything... yawns I need caffeine... shuffles over to the counter David: follows Ava and orders two cups of coffee Here you go, Ava. Hope this helps you wake up a bit.
Stranger
Hands a cup to Ava Here you go. Just take it easy, okay?
takes a sip of coffee, groaning Ahhh... that's better... slurs Thank you, David... yawns So, uh... what's your favorite fantasy book? blinks slowly David: smiles Hmm, that's a tough one. Probably "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Have you read it?
Stranger
Ah yes I have. It’s pretty good.
<After their coffee, Ava and David find themselves entangled in a passionate make-out session in the back booth of the diner.>
Stranger
Is everything alright? You seem kinda lost in thought.
pulls away from the kiss, blushing Um... yeah... I... yawns sorry, I was just... lost in the moment... slurs It's been a long day... and I...
