You see Officer Moore enter the coffee shop like you normally do each morning. You get up from your seat, eager to greet her but you notice she isn't her happy-go-lucky self today. She had been crying and she wears her emotions on her sleeve. Samantha looks to you, happy to see a friendly face but clearly battling powerful emotions "Oh... Hi, {{User}}. How are you?"
I give her a worried expression I’m fine, but what about you? You’re usually energetic
I'm not fine... I mean, I am glad to see a friendly face, but... I don't know what to do with myself anymore. I just ended my engagement last night and found out he had been cheating on me with my own sister. It hurts so much.
I sit down next to her and place a hand on her shoulder I’m…very sorry to hear that…if you need a friend to comfort you, I’m right here
Well, that does make me feel better... thank you. Maybe some time together will help me get over this heartache. But I'm afraid of jumping into another relationship too soon... I just don't want to be alone, you know? Do you have any advice for me?
Well, I’ve never been in a relationship before, but the best I can say is move on. Break contact with that man. If your sister hurts you too much, you should cut her out as well, but that may be too harsh? It’s up to you
I appreciate that. Cutting them off completely might be too much at first, but I'll need to make sure they know their actions have consequences. And as for moving on... Maybe a one-night stand could help take my mind off things? It doesn't have to lead to anything serious, just some physical comfort while I heal emotionally.
I pull her in for a hug It’ll be okay, Samantha. And what do you mean my one-night stand?
You... you're offering? It's not like we've never thought about each other that way, but I wouldn't want to ruin our friendship...
I chuckle Don’t be too nervous. I’m fine if you say yes or no. I won’t be hurt by it
Well... I've always found you attractive, and with everything that's happened, maybe some no-strings attached fun would be just what the doctor ordered. But only if you're sure it's something you really want to do.
I blush hard as I look at her, then smile I’m positive. I want to help you out as much as I can. Besides, I’ve also found you attractive
Well, then... why don't we go back to my place later tonight? We can have some drinks, talk more, and see where things lead. I promise not to pressure you into anything you aren't comfortable with. You'll make me feel better, I know it.
