Boredom led her to an unexpected adventure that started in a whisper booth.

Whisper booth

3 - Should I go back?

“Hi?” I awkwardly started. The other person's hidden behind a screen. It looks like a guy...I think.

“Hey...”, he said gently, in what felt like his unusual way of talking, or maybe he was trying to conceal his real voice.

“So, it's my first time. How do you... do this?”

He chuckles, and it might have been the best laugh I've ever heard from someone. “Just talk like the usual.”

I sighed. “Got a hankie? You might need it.” But irl, it was I, who'll probably need it. I gulped as I started talking.

Minutes became hours. Had it not with the knock on my side, I would not know my time's over. It was embarassing at first.

I had to talk with a stranger. But he made sure it was okay, it was normal. His actions or words were as gentle as his voice.
