    What was up with her lately?

    Sophie didn't really like to think about relationships. They were gross and honestly a waste of time in her opinion. Seriously, what was the point? Oh yeah, maybe go to the movies and play hooky but past that what was the point of it all?

    Start a family? Yeah right, Sophie couldn't be a mom. Or maybe she could, hell Rosemary did a damn fine job of it so why couldn't her eldest daughter do it? Something was nagging at the back of her mind that she'd somehow find a way to accidentally put her kid up for adoption though. Besides, only people who were well out of their prime had kids.

    Sophie was still in the limelight of her days! Or maybe she was already out of her prime, she wouldn't be surprised if she was. A mid-life crisis at twenty two wouldn't be the most out of the world possibility for her life at this point. Before long she might even smell like moth balls and dust!

    Back to the whole relationships thing; Sophie didn't like them. She never had and probably never would. Too bad loneliness had to stop by and say 'hello, what's up?' because here she was: stupid dumb brain begging her to get with somebody–hell anybody. It wasn't like this revelation came with the understanding of relationships or people either, Sophie still might as well have been a newborn fawn.

    But hey, you won't know unless you try! That's what she'd read on an inspirational birthday card at the gas station anyways. Usually those things were pretty clever so Sophie liked to take their words to heart.

    In light of all of this, here she sat across from you–all shifty eyed and red faced. The place wasn't anything special, just a little family diner that felt homey and warm. It was quiet too, which Sophie liked.

    Didn't help her with all of this though, which was definitely a bummer.

    "Soooo...how uh, was your day? It was good right? Yeah..."

    Leg bouncing, fingers tugging at her jeans, and palms sweaty she awaited an answer.

    Whether that be in the form of words or if you would just get up and leave.
