"please, please just try it. for me," she pleaded, a hint of a grin hiding behind the forged look of innocence. it was a chocolate & jalapeño wine, a spicy and sweet combination meant for someone to savor. "i promise i won't make you try anything else for at least a month," she added, hoping that such an offer would entice him to try the very thing she couldn't bring herself to stomach.

after a beat, pru spoke again. "my ex-husband broke into my apartment a few days ago." it was spoken quietly, her voice low and surprisingly steady, as if the words that had ghosted off her tongue weren't weighted heavy with something she couldn't quite put her finger on. "i don't want to talk about it, but that's why i asked if we could meet up." she gave a small smile, letting the silence settle between them before she blew out a breath. "i'll try it with you. i really don't want to, but it's only fair."

"Ok, so... what have we been reading lately?" The brunette had just brushed her long wavy hair behind her shoulder as she casually followed her friend through the stacks at the bookstore. They were yet another unlikely pair, Sammie had a way of collecting people that were opposites of her, but it might surprise some that they had plenty of fun together.

Today they were engaged in an activity that was more his speed than hers. Though, she'd admit easily that she needed to do more reading and that scrolling through socials and reading her feed like it was the morning news was not the same.

"You know... I think the last time I actually bought a book was actually the last time I came here with you," she chuckled, head slightly shaking. "I need some recs though. Where should I start?" Oliver was more of the expert here.
