Emmie decided to take a day trip to the local book/coffee shop. As she walked in, she was stopped by someone calling after her.
???: Uh, excuse me? Miss? You dropped your phone. It fell out when you got out of your car.
Emmie: Oh, crap! Thank you so much.
???: Don’t mention it. I think the screen cracked, though. Sorry I didn’t have super speed to swoop in and catch it before it fell.
Emmie: Dang, I was hoping for Superman.
???: Guess you’ll have to settle for me.
They both smiled at each other, tentatively. They both continued their conversation into the store.
Emmie: Are you new here? It’s a pretty small town, and I think I’d remember you.
???: It’s the blue hair, eh? And yeah, I’m new. Moving is exhausting and I needed a coffee fix. Hence-- *gesture*
Emmie: Hence. I don’t believe I caught your name, Superman.
Elijah: I’m Elijah. But you can keep calling me Superman if you’d like.
Emmie: I’m Emmie. It’s nice to meet you.
