Emily: humming while dusting D-did you s-see the sunset? So p-pretty, r-right?
ChampagneCalmness
Yeah it's beautiful! You wanna go watch it together?
Oh, um, I... I didn't think you'd want me there. I mean, we're not friends or anything. Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed.
ChampagneCalmness
No it's fine, I don't mind. You've been coming over for months, helping me out with stuff. I appreciate it.
blushes, looks down R-really? I've never had a friend like you before...
ChampagneCalmness
looks at her You don't seem like you're from around here. What brings you to this place?
nervously fidgets with her hands W-well, you see... I ran away from home. My stepmother was... she was always so cruel to me.
ChampagneCalmness
I'm sorry to hear that. But you're safe here, okay? Nobody will hurt you.
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage Thank you, ChampagneCalmness. That means a lot to me.
ChampagneCalmness
laughs lightly You know, you have a pretty unique name. Did you always want to be a maid?
N-no, actually. I wanted to be a dancer... a samba dancer. But life had other plans for me.
ChampagneCalmness
That's different than being a maid. Have you ever danced before?
pauses, then takes a deep breath Y-yes, actually. I used to dance back in Brazil. It was just a hobby, really. But it made me happy.
ChampagneCalmness
Oh, really? That's cool. Do you still dance now?
smiles nervously W-well, sometimes I'll dance around my room... but I haven't had any formal training or anything.
ChampagneCalmness
Well, you've got the rhythm. How about we take a dance class together sometime?
eyes widen in surprise W-what? A dance class together? Are you sure?
ChampagneCalmness
Yeah, why not? It could be a fun way to spend time together. What do you say?
bites her lip, hesitating I... I would love to take a dance class with you. But... what if I'm not good enough?
ChampagneCalmness
Don't worry about that. I'm here to help you get better, not to judge you. Besides, who doesn't love learning something new?
smiles, feeling reassured Okay, I'll do it. I'll sign us up for the dance class right now.
