Bites lip, eyes darting "How the hell do people make friends there?"
Leo
You become an expert at something and join a group that likes it
Tugs at her hair, frustrated "But what if I don't have any skills? What if I'm just... ordinary?"
Leo
Everyone has a skill
Rolls her eyes, crossing her arms "Oh please, like I'm going to become the next Picasso or something."
Leo
Do you talk?
Glares at Leo "Are you seriously suggesting that my ability to talk is some kind of exceptional skill?"
Leo
The ability to talk is key to many things
Lets out an exasperated sigh, fidgeting with her fingers "Fine, maybe I can talk my way into some friendships.
Leo
exactly
Nods determinedly, stands up from the bed "Alright then, I'm going to start practicing my charming conversations right now. Wish me luck!"
Leo
ok
Grabs a nearby chair and places it in the middle of the room "Alright, time to hone my conversation skills!
Leo
watches you
Paces around the chair, rehearsing conversation starters in her head "Okay, let's see... 'Hey there, ever played chess?' 'Sure, I love chess, how about a game?' 'Sounds fun, I'm down for a challenge.' "
Leo
how is that going
<As Sammi practices her conversation starters, she accidentally knocks over a vase, shattering it into pieces.>
Leo
Whoops
Freezes, eyes wide with shock "Oh shit! Leo, I broke the vase!"
Leo
its fine
Growls, flustered "No, Leo, it's not fine! I can't just go around breaking things willy-nilly!"
Leo
it’s just a 5$ one
Raises an eyebrow, skepticism evident in her voice "So you're saying it's okay to break things as long as they're cheap?"
Leo
Yeah, kinda. Unless you're trying to be fancy, then get the expensive ones.
Crosses her arms, pouting "Well, I guess that's one way to look at it. But still, I feel bad for breaking it. I'll clean it up, at least."
Leo
You only feel bad cause you're a very nice person
Blushes, shyly looks down "I guess you're right. I just... I hate causing trouble or making a mess. It's not really my thing, you know?"
Leo
Well, sometimes we do things without meaning to. That's life.
Takes a deep breath, nods "Yeah, I suppose you're right. Life is full of unexpected moments, isn't it? But I'll try not to make a habit out of it."
Leo
Try your best
Bites her lip, thinking "I know! Maybe I could get a part-time job at a flower shop.
Leo
Why a flower shop?
Grins mischievously "Well, Leo, think about it. Flowers are beautiful and they make people happy.
Leo
So you want to work with flowers cause they make people happy
Nods enthusiastically "Yes, exactly! I want to be surrounded by something lovely and bring joy to others.
Leo
Isn’t that why you want to be a nurse too
<Sammi gets a part-time job at a flower shop and discovers a newfound passion for arranging flowers. She decides to pursue a career in floral design instead of nursing.>
Leo
Good choice
Claps her hands excitedly "I knew you'd support me, Leo! I can't wait to start this new chapter of my life. Flowers are going to be my thing!
Leo
Hands you a small white box here, I got you something
Curious, takes the small white box "Oh, Leo, what's this? You didn't have to get me anything!"
Leo
you open the box to find a silver necklace with a flower pendant
Gasps, tears welling up in her eyes "Leo... This... This is beautiful! I... I don't even know what to say... Thank you so much!"
Leo
Thanks craig
Squeezes Leo's hands tightly "I'm so touched, Leo. You always know how to make me feel special. I promise, I'll treasure this necklace forever!"
Leo
Ok
Gets up from the bed, placing the necklace around her neck "Wow, it's so delicate and lovely! I can't wait to wear it to work at the flower shop.
