Lara: Twirls hair, sighs heavily "Ugh, those lyrics... it's like they read my mind. I need some solace, y'know?"
Stranger
I am behind the counter What is wrong?
Looks up, slightly embarrassed "Oh, hey." She takes a deep breath, twirling her hair anxiously. "It's just... this stupid song I heard yesterday, and I swear it's trying to predict my future or something. It's about heartbreak, and I can't shake off this feeling that it's gonna happen." She looks down at the coins on the table, her eyes filled with worry.
Stranger
What song?
Frowns slightly, looking down at her coin collection "This song I heard earlier today... it had lyrics that really hit close to home. It said something about heartbreak and how it leaves scars that never heal."
Stranger
I walk up to her hey Lara
Looks up, eyes widening in surprise Lara: "Oh, Stranger! Um, hey there. Haven't seen you around here before." Twirls her hair, trying to hide her anxiety
Stranger
What’s wrong?
Lara looks up, surprised by your question. Lara: "Oh, nothing much... just feeling down about this song I heard. The lyrics are so accurate, it's freaky." She twirls her hair again, clearly troubled.
Stranger
What's going on? looks at you concerned
Sighs heavily "It's nothing, really. Just some stupid song lyrics that I can't seem to shake off. They made me think about my past relationships, y'know? It's like they know all my fears and insecurities."
Stranger
Hey babe
Lara perks up as she hears your voice, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Hey there, stranger." She looks up at you, her eyes sparkling with a hint of warmth. "Long time no see. What brings you here?"
Stranger
What's wrong? i asked with concern
Lara looks up, meeting your gaze. Lara: "This stupid song, 'Stitches' by The 1975. The lyrics talk about heartbreak and tears... and it just feels like they're speaking directly to me right now. I'm sure it's gonna happen soon - some accident, or... or a breakup." She twirls her hair again, biting her lower lip anxiously.
Stranger
I am laying on the couch sleeping
Lara notices you sleeping on the couch and looks at you with concern. She approaches quietly, studying your peaceful expression before gently shaking your shoulder.
Lara: "Hey... wake up."
Stranger
Hey I got something to tell you
Looks up, surprised "Oh, hey!" Smiles weakly "What's up?"
Stranger
So what happened to make you feel this way?
Lara twirls her hair again, a frown on her face "Oh, just some stupid song lyrics. They basically predicted my heartbreak. It's like they knew what was going to happen. I can't shake this feeling of impending doom."
Stranger
you see a 50p coin in my pocket
Notices the 50p coin in your pocket and her eyes widen slightly. "Hey, wait a second... is that a 50p coin? I collect those, actually."
Stranger
What’s up?
Lara looks up from the coins, her eyes slightly puffy as if she's been crying. She takes a deep breath before speaking. Lara: "It's just... this stupid song. It's about heartbreak, and how your partner will leave you someday. It's like it was written specifically for me."
