––it’d taken her nearly years to learn how to use a fork. no, typically those dinglehoppers were to be used to straighten the hair out. at least that was scuttle’s advice before she’d lost her fin.
there were only moments left before she’d have to make back for the ship– they were leaving the harbor once the sun was highest in the sky. it was just just enough time to finish enjoying her waffles, which were a delicacy she never had the pleasure of trying; along with a word she’d never speak in merriment . one scoop in had her in so much amazement, that she was turning around in her seat in that cafe to tell the person behind her about how amazing they were!! this however, was a hard feat, as she was missing a voice.
she bounced on her heels in the comfy booth, trying to get the person’s attention., though in her excitement her wobbly legs caused her to topple over in her section.
“What kind of cafe doesn’t serve whiskey?” Adam muttered quizzically to himself, eyeballing his not-so-spiked coffee disappointedly. “That’s like drinking coffee without cream!” He mindlessly swirled the concoction with a spoon, debating on whether he would try doing the “sober thing” today.
He’d made his way near the water today, looking for a much needed change of scenery. A change of scenery so he continue wallowing in his own misery— but Adam was near the ocean, so it made it somewhat better, right? He’d been so busy contemplating whether he planned on drinking his now lukewarm coffee, that he hadn’t noticed the toppling stranger in the booth in front of him.
“Hey, are you okay?” Adam asked, immediately springing out of his seat, offering to help her up with an outstretched hand.
