⠀Bring the mood down..? I guess, but we've only got one life. Might as well spend some time being honest with someone who gets it, right? ⠀﹙ a lighthearted sigh accompanied one hand sifting into her pocket. ﹚ ⠀Hold on, let me get my phone number.

⠀My mother used to put in a little bit of milk when whisking it up, 'cause it helps it take in the butter flavor more while still being ...- fluffy. ⠀﹙ she chuckled just a little, looking at that effort with a lightness in her eyes. ﹚ ⠀I'm better with making coffee.

⠀That doesn't mean you can't complain about it with someone who gets it. Trust me, isolating in work with that mentality is⋯ ⠀﹙ after rocking her head to the side in thought, she settled on the easiest word for that tragedy. ﹚ ⠀- bad, for anyone.

⠀⋯ I don't really know you well enough yet to think less of you, if that makes you feel better. ⠀Why don't you... tell me about yourself? A kid I look after says I need to take some more time for myself, you could do the same.
