Open Case File [COMPLETED]

An Odd Encounter

"You were the First Son for eight years," she said. "Am I not supposed to know you who are?"

"I didn't think someone as bizarre as you would notice the world outside your house."

"True but for someone reason I know you. Probably your good looks and the sense I get that you seem to be one thing but have hidden depths."

"I don't have hidden depths."

Joy pointed her pen at him. "That's exactly what a person trying to hide their hidden depths would say."

"How do you function as a person?"

"I don't, why do you think I'm a writer." Standing, she grabbed the books he held. "Who am I signing these for, because I highly doubt you're going to read them."

"I could."

She grinned in triumphant. "See, hidden depths."

"They are for a friend."

"Okay, is this a 'friend' in the sense that there's more to this friendship and you'd like to convey that through this gift or is it simply a friend."

"Simply a friend."

"Fine, I'll not act as your wing woman then."

"How would you manage that?"

"Simple, I'd say that I was struck by your dreamy eyes and the sensitive way in which you so purposefully chose this gift and waited in a long long line to have me sign the books just for you."

Mason snatched the books back. "Never mind, I'll get Owens a candle instead."

Joy grinned and leaned back in her chair. "Hidden depths, Mason."

"I'm leaving."

Mason discarded the books and stepped back onto the sidewalk. He paused, took in a breath of fresh air, and shook his head. That had to be the strangest hour of his life.

But oddly enough he no longer felt annoyed.

Pretty pigeons!

(It's a good word pigeon. One could even say it's a favorite word! 🐨)

*throws a fist full of confetti into the air* Like I have just shared some happiness into your life, I hope you share your thoughts into mine. 💭💬🗯🎊

If you have questions you'd still like to know my answers to then go ahead and ask.

You know, I have to say that having one's life mocked and scrutinized by Mason Douglas really makes a person reflect on themselves. And you know what I've discovered after baring his blunt judgment?

I'M AWESOME! 😝

Oddness in excess? Got that!

Duality of weird and professional? Got that!

A baseball hat? Got that!

Readers who love and support me despite the extreme oddity that is me? DANG RIGHT I GOT THAT!

Mason, say what you wanna say, I ain't gonna let it effect me! *sassy snap*

Though one point I must dispute...

I don't look like a puppy!

Wait a minute...

Oh my gosh! He was right! 😳

Well whatever, I make an adorable puppy!

Till the next time I get the chance to invade your life and hopefully bring some brightness to it. *gives a sweeping bow then takes my broom and goes*
