she focused on the other. "i asked if you were alright." she murmured, gaze focusing on the other as she ate a few m&ms.
she stayed silent for a moment. "i’m glad you didn't really judge me, for you know, being on the gas station floor." she chuckled quietly.
She didn’t really hear her properly because she was lost in her thoughts.
She stays quiet for a few more minutes until she shakes her thoughts away.
She looks back at her.
‘‘I am sorry, what did you say?’’
her head tilted sideways, gaze moving onto the other. she reached to grab a bag of m&ms. she knew the worker, it was fine.
"are you alright?" she questioned, opening the bag as she popped a few into her mouth.
‘‘Right.. snacks.’’
She goes silent again while she thinks about her garden back at home.
She wondered if her potatoes could make chips as good as the ones at the gas station.
Maybe, Imogen would give her a chance then.
silence filled the air for a moment as she silently ate the rest of her skittles. she crisscrossed her legs as she focused on ellie.
"um, snacks. we were talking about snacks." she stayed with a chuckle.
She lays back down and was a little disappointed.
‘‘Oh. Alright…’’
She stares at the ceiling and waits for Imogen to say something else that would start a new topic.
She rests her hands on her belly while she waits.
"oh! um," her face turns red of embarrassment. "well, um, in the most respectful way, um, no." she answered as she glazed towards her.
"nothing against you, i swear. i just, um, can we change the topic?"
she almost choked on her skittles, clearing her throat quietly as she furrowed her brows.
"um, well," she started, she wasn't sure how to answer that. "um. some people don't want to have, um, babies. so they just enjoy the, um, act of it." her face scrunched up. god help her.
Sits up from lying down.
She is intrigued by Imogen.
‘‘Do you mean… do you mean when two people get together to have a baby? People do this to reward themselves?’’
Her eyes widen.
She just wanted to understand but she knows her culture is different than Imogen’s.
