We're in the Same Waiting Room

hi sorry to bother you, did you take my number from the sign-in sheet at the clinic??

oh no. i think i have the wrong number. sorry!

at the doctor. you write your name and phone number. i think i wrote one number wrong 😅

no no, just a check-up. i'm fine. sorry again for the message!

YES. the one on aldgate street??

omg. me too. i'm near the window

it's LAVENDER. but yes 😭

ok this is SO strange. we are literally in the same room and we are texting. i can see you right now. you have curly hair, right? this is so weird, i can't stop smiling

hi 👋 i'm maya by the way

the woman at the desk said 45 minutes 😩 you?

amazing. so now we just... wait. together. but also separate.

please don't throw water at me 😂 but yes i'm thirsty actually

i think it's already weird. let's keep going

haha no. it's my first time here. i moved to this area two months ago

bristol. i got a new job here in london. it's good but i don't know many people yet

yeah... i walk around a lot. i take photos of things i find interesting. it helps

kind of. mostly small things. doors, signs, old tiles, that kind of thing

like this. i took this yesterday near borough market

that's the best thing you can say 🥺

i work at a small design studio. i make graphics mostly. you?

oh wow. that's a lot of energy every day 😅

that's actually really sweet. you must be a good teacher

because you gave a stranger water and asked if she was ok. that's a teacher thing to do

😊 so what are you here for today? you don't have to answer that

oh no! that sounds really painful. is it your writing hand?

haha kids are so honest. i hope it gets better soon

we are already texting from three chairs away. nothing is strange now

...

i would really like that

with our VOICES 😂😂 ok yes. deal.

haha yes. you win a flat white. shall we go?

actually... i think i wrote it wrong on purpose

i saw you when i walked in. i thought you looked nice. but then i felt stupid so i wrote one number wrong. no plan after that 😅

ok stop texting and let's go get that coffee 😭
