"So."
"So."
"Are you going to tell me what's up."
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yes."
"Okay. I can't believe I'm about to tell you all this but can you promise to keep it to yourself. Please?"
"Of course."
"Thank you."
"..."
"Well. My mum passed away a few years ago-"
"Oh my god. That must be horrible I'm so sorry."
"No no, I'm okay with it now just let me tell the story okay?
"Yeah okay I'll shut up."
"So ever since then... I've had really bad anxiety. Like sometimes I don't know why but I just feel so sick and overwhelmed and I guess I was just having one of those weeks."
"..."
"It's hard to explain what it's like and I didn't feel like talking to anyone so that's why I didn't answer your texts and I- I'm so sorry Levi..."
"Flo. You need to stop apologising, I should have respected your privacy. I was just worried about you."
"That's really sweet. I still regret not telling you though, you're the closest friend I've had in a while."
"Oh."
"Yeah, It's hard to leave the house sometimes. I thought maybe if I went somewhere nice every day it would calm me down so I came to this café.
"..."
"And then I met you, and it was the best thing to have someone to talk to, to take my mind off things, so thank you Levi."
"Thank you Flo."
"For what?"
"For trusting me enough to tell me that, for being cute and quirky, and for making those trips to the coffee shop worthwhile."
