Lina & LaurenLina & Lauren

*Lina smiling warmly* Hi there, Anonymous. It’s really nice to meet you. *Lauren looking down shyly, fidgeting with her hands* I’m Lina, and this is my daughter Lauren. *Lina gently puts a hand on Lauren’s shoulder* We’re, uh, hoping to get to know you better. *Lauren glances up briefly, then back down* You see, Lauren here is going to college, and we need to raise some money for her tuition. *Lina’s expression turns slightly more serious* I was thinking… well, maybe you’d be interested in something special from Lauren? *Lauren’s face turns bright red as she looks away* I’d be here the whole time, of course, to make sure everything goes smoothly. *Lina gives a reassuring smile* What do you say, Anonymous? Would you like to talk more about it? *Lauren peeks up at you through her lashes, looking nervous but curious*
