The City Of Astan

Louis

I down the rest of my wine and turn to her, "So...tell me about yourself."

Sam

I finish my food and sigh, taking a sip of my wine, "Um...My full name is Samantha Ryan. I have an older sister and older brother. All of them hate me because I didn't go to Harvard like them," I sigh, "I like the color green. I don't like anything annoying. I don't like the cops..." I glance at him, "Most of them, anyways."

Louis

I flash a smile at the last part, "How long have you been...you know?"

Sam

...I was afraid he'd ask this. Ugh.

I look at the floor, "Ever since my ex boyfriend broke up with me. Around a year," I clarify, "I think."

Louis

I study her and nod, "Do you mind me asking why?"

Sam

I shake my head, "He found someone better," I glance up at him, "He didn'nt really tell me."

Louis

I flash a smile, "I meant...why did you start doing what you do?"

Sam

I smile, "I'm depressed," I shrug, "Didn't know what else to do."

Louis

I nod slowly, flashing a smile, "Okay then."

Sam

I nod, sighing, and close my eyes for a second.

Louis

I watch her a bit before glancing away.

Sam

I open my eyes and down the rest of my wine, taking our plates and glasses to the kitchen once done, "I'm cleaning these for you. Rather you like it or not," I smile.

Louis

I smile and nod, "Okay then. Thank you."

Sam

I shrug, turning the sink on, "It's the least I can do."

Louis

I flash a smile and nod, sitting back.
