Trying so hard to translate my thoughts into Filipino just for it to end up sounding like it’s written by a middle schooler. The terrible grammar is embarrassing.

Imogen trailed off, offering an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name? I’m Imogen.”

She offered him a grateful nod. “Free coffee is a nice offer I simply cannot refuse. Thank you, I will definitely take you up on that cup very soon.”

Her eyebrows arched in a mild surprise, a completely unscripted laugh escaping her. Hearing him casually drop Leucippus into the conversation caught her completely off guard.

“An answer that requires a field trip,” she murmured. “Leveraging a tired student’s coffee dependency is a very effective strategy. I think I might actually have to accept that, if only to save my brain from melting.”

She offered an appreciative smile, truly wishing she could take a break. “Also, I should be the one buying you coffee for rescuing my pen,” she added.
