"Okay," He smiled, "Thanks"
"Oh, easy. I'd be a stage actor. I love the feeling of performing for an audience, and the idea of being able to do that for the rest of my life is incredible… What about you?"
"That's really cool! Right now I work at Barnes and Noble, which is really cool, but it gets boring."
"We're not allowed to unless we're on break." Adam sighed. "All those books, and only ten minutes at a time to read them all."
"Yeah. We do get really good discounts, though. And we get access to new books a day early."
(I'm just guessing for all of this, I have no idea what working at Barnes and Noble is actually like…)
(Yep.)
Adam nodded. "It is. You should come in sometime while I'm there, we could hang out while I'm on break or something."
At that moment, the waitress came over again. "Are you guys ready to order?"
The waitress turned to Adam and said, "What can I get for you?"
"Can I get the Pesto Genovese?" He asked, praying he had pronounced it correctly. The waitress nodded and wrote something down on her little notebook
"Alright, I'll get that right out." The waitress smiled and left, taking the menus with her.
"Alright, what's the best thing that's ever happened to you?"
"Probably going to see the northern lights last summer, it was incredible"
Adam nodded. "It really was. I always thought people were exaggerating when they talked about it, but it was just… magical."
"Absolutely… Oh! I got some really cool pictures if you want to see them!" He pulled his phone out of his pocket and started scrolling through his photos
"Here!" He handed the phone to Cyrin. "You can scroll through if you want. Me and Addie- she's the friend I told you about, by the way… Anyway, we went last summer. We had been planning it for literally years."
(Ooo, I like that)
"I think there might be a few of my dog in there, you can ignore those."
