"Sorry," Kouper says firmly pressing his phone into his thigh through his pants. "I didn't mean to impose its just...It's surreal meeting you." Lyla raises her chin and little and a smile begins playing at the left corner of her mouth.
"Thank you," she replies. "Though, I can honestly say I feel the same way."
"Uh," Kouper mumbles. "What?" Lyla fidgets but once she's settled her little smile returns.
"I've been looking forward to meeting the person with the clearest falsetto I've ever heard." Kouper sighs audibly and grin washes over his face, his eyes lit up and all.
"That's high praise coming from you. Thank you."

Did you want to buy something or do I need to direct you home again?" "What?" She laughs, "It was a joke, Jeez. The last time you were in here you seemed like you had a sense of humor. Where'd that go?" "I have this neighbor who basically sucks the life and humor out of people. Unfortunately, I am a recent victim." "I know how that feels, trust me. I have one in my life too." "Anyway, what can I do for you Mr. ..." "Please call me Adrian." "Okay Adrian, what can I do for you today?" "Actually, I was passing by, and I thought I should say thank you for the other day." "That's nice, but you didn't have to. I didn't really do anything a human being wouldn't." "Hey, don't sell yourself short. You did a lot for me. If you didn't save my ass, I may have been a missing person by now, or worse that guy on the news they keep saying is nowhere to be found." "How can I argue when you mentioned the guy on the news. The news never lies, and I'm sure you don't either. You're right, I should be thanked for saving a life." "Not just A life, but many lives. Think of my poor mother and my friends and family. How would they live without me, huh?" "You're right, I saved a generation that day." We're both laughing very hard and it feels just right. Talking to her was easy.Complete
