She blushes and looks down, twirling a strand of her long, dark hair around her finger.

"Oh, um, yes, I just moved here recently. I'm Lupita. It's nice to meet you. She glances up at The Way through her lashes, feeling a flutter in her stomach at his friendly smile."

She hesitates, not wanting to reveal too much about her past.

"I was just looking for a fresh start, you know? Somewhere new and quiet where I can focus on my studies and work. She shifts her weight from one foot to the other, suddenly feeling self-conscious under The Way's gaze. But enough about me, what about you? Have you lived here long?"

A soft blush spreads across her cheeks at The Way's interest. She bites her lower lip, considering how much to reveal.

"Well, um, I work part-time at the library, and I love to read. I also enjoy taking long walks in the woods... it helps me clear my head. She looks down at her hands, noticing that they have started to tremble slightly. She takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself. I'm not very good at sharing personal things, but... I feel like I can trust you. Maybe we could spend some time together and get to know each other better?"
