She wants things to go back to the way they were seconds ago, talking shit about stealing from restaurants and pretending to flirt. "I didn't watch the sci-fi movie of your shitty life."

She fiddles with her pickle and pauses, thinking of how she can try and course-correct, how much empathy she needs to plug into this conversational vending machine until what she wants comes back out. "I'm sorry it was so shitty, though. That sounds nasty."
