She took the flowers away from herself so everything became visible again.
"Oh God it looks bad, how does it feel? Is the pain awful?"
"Well it is but I think that it could always be worse so let's be optimistic"
Suddenly Shawn paid his attention to that Alexa was standing there dressed differently, she was wearing a short dress making all the curves of her body look so hot.
"Oh wow..."
"Oh wow?"
"You look beautiful. I'm sorry for saying it that way but I'm talking with all the possible respect - you really are looking beautiful"
She realized that she was wearing an evening dress.
"Oh this is not the way I walk around the house usually, I was supposed to go to this party in the evening and I realized that it would be impossible for me to do that because the dress I was planning to put on is this one and now it is not going well"
"Damn you look good in it"
She blushed.
"Stop it... But thanks..."
"No I mean it!"
"I'm flattered but stop, I'm blushing... anyways I can't wear this dress to the party and therefore I'm staying at home"
"Oh no, is it all because of me?"
"It doesn't matter right now, the fact is that today is going to be about just me, myself and I. So I'll be spending my evening at home watching movies maybe eating some pizza and I guess taking painkillers otherwise I will be dying of pain"
"Oh I feel so bad right now how can I fix this? I mean what can I do? Let me bring you pizza or maybe something else, I don't know just tell me what you need"

"I'm OK, I don't think I need anything. You just should let it go: this could have happened to anyone, I mean anyone could be you and as well as anyone could be me. I think you did even more than any other person in the whole world would do: you figured out how to find a way to my house so you could bring me my phone back, besides you bought me flowers and said the words of apologies for so many times that now I somehow feel embarrassed"
"Oh that was really the tiny part of what I could have done or better said what I should have done and I'm surprised how strangely calm you accepted this situation, because you know people react different ways"
"Has something like this happened to you before?"
"Well not exactly the same thing but ... you know"
"I think if the situation cannot be changed as we have it now so you should work with what you have"
Shawn tried to find out whether she was a fangirl. But the fact that it was really his fault and the way that Alexa reacted made him believe that in this situation both of them were regular people going through not a really regular but still pretty normal situation.
"Oh you're such an amazing person! And what is your name by the way"
"I'm Alexandra, call me Alexa for short"
"Alexa ... nice meeting you"
"And what's your name?"
"Don't you know it?"
"And how should I?"
Shawn felt that she was not lying and she really didn't know neither his name nor who he was.
"I thought you may have heard it in the coffee shop"
"Well I did not, maybe I did but I was so stressed out that I can barely remember some details"
"It doesn't matter. I'm Shawn"
"Nice to meet you too Shawn! Although we could have got to know each other in a little bit more fancy way..."
"Well you look fancy right now so I think it still counts"
They both smiled. Finally they got over this situation that made them got to know each other.
