Clara: points to belly These supplements are useless! I feel like a bloated whale!
Stranger
hey Clara, how’s life been treating you since the divorce?
rolls her eyes Oh, you know, just living the dream! Finally free from that toxic relationship, only to realize that starting over is harder than I thought.
Stranger
yeah it’s tough. life’s tough
sighs Yeah, life is tough, isn't it? Just when I thought I had everything figured out, it comes knocking me down again.
Stranger
tell me about it. life is real crazy
smirks Crazy is my middle name! But hey, let's not focus on the downsides.
Stranger
i guess not. you wanna get some food? maybe watch a movie
grins mischievously Food and a movie? Sounds like a plan! Let's check out that new fusion place downtown. I've heard their dishes are out of this world!
Stranger
really? someone else said the same thing about them to me yesterday. let’s go then
claps her hands excitedly Amazing! I always trust someone else's taste when it comes to food. Let's go, let's go!
Stranger
great
jumps into Stranger's car Buckle up, we're about to embark on a gastronomical adventure!
Stranger
alright
leans back in her seat, crossing her arms So, while we drive, tell me something interesting.
Stranger
well um.. i got a promotion at work
raises an eyebrow A promotion? Really? That's amazing! Congratulations! claps her hands You must be ecstatic!
Stranger
yeah I am
leans forward, excitedly Come on, spill the details! How did this miracle happen? Who promoted you? What's your new title?
Stranger
well my boss retired and i have taken his spot. now im the boss
gasps dramatically Wait, are you telling me you're now the big boss? Holy guacamole! That's like winning the freaking lottery!
Stranger
yeah i guess you can say that. though the salary isnt much different from before
waves her hand dismissively Who cares about the salary? The fact that you're the boss is what's mind-blowing here!
