"A deep feeling of affection and sexual attachment."
That's all Mina has - words stolen from a dictionary. How will she earn an apprenticeship at Luckman Inc. if she can't write an essay on what true love is? It has been a week, and she has yet to c...
Heidi brings up the subject Mina is still sulking about, her essay. No luck yet, her notepad and laptop remained untouched 'til this day. She knows diverting won't solve the task, but that's all she's been doing lately. Mina doesn't spend much time in her room now just to avert her eyes from her desk that is a current reminder of what's at stake with her career choices. She had nightmares about being able to finish medical school studies and crap at the workforce.
"Kill me now," She dramatically flopped onto the couch, arms stretched out.
"N-n-n-n-no, just start dating some more," She shrugs her shoulder walking to put away the teacups in the kitchen.
"Do you not remember the last date I went on?"
"Yeah, but that was my fault because I didn't do my research beforehand. You have better judgment in people," Heidi smiles displaying her pearly whites.
Mina sits up, legs crossed and raise a thick brow at her. "Are you just now realizing that?"
Throwing a couch cushion at her friend's face. Heidi flips her off then chuckles in amusement tossing the cushion back at her.
"When I said, I thought about making that career change from writer to medical, I don't know if I feel the same..after meeting that prick-ly crab ass-hat," Mina said earnestly while calmly petting Harvey next to her. Heidi tried her best at keeping a straight face, really did, but a gross split smile came from her tight lips, making her look like a lipless old bum.
They continue to talk, with additional jokes about guys and munch on yesterday's leftover baked goods from the bakery. Of course, the other topics like Elijah and friends came up. Heidi couldn't help herself when Mina mentioned Elijah at the hospital offhandedly. The obvious hints she pointed on didn't escape Mina, but she chose to ignore them. Not receiving a response from her, Heidi talked about her plans at work. To persuade her boss to give her a boost up from assistant to the manager at the office; with showing up earlier, setting appointments to more convenient times, making that her mission to stop the interns and desk ladies from chatting, flirting, and just get their work done before her boss usual comes to complain. She really needed this lift to advance in her fashion career.

"You know what this means, don't you?"
Mina asked, "What are you talking about?"
"You, my little sugar cookie, have to find love," Heidi gives her a firm look, pursing her lips.
"You're sh*ting me right?" Mina deadpans, confused by her words.
Heidi smiles then put her snacks down, rubbing off crumbs on her sweatpants and rests her hands together on her leg, "No, let me rephrase that."
"Yeah okay..," she huffed chewing her sweets roughly.
"Mina, you have to fall in love. It's the only way to know!"
Almost having to give Mina the Heimlich maneuver after a bite of a cookie went down the wrong pipe, Heidi explains. Standing and waving her hands around like a madwoman, "Actually think about it for a sec. You need proof, evidence or whatever you wanna call it so that you can base your essay on it, experience!"
Mina gives her a bewildered look like she's ape sh*t crazy. As if Heidi had just told her she has a fetish for guys in chicken suits.
"Heidi, was there something special in that tea?"
Even Harvey looked up at both of them, meowed, stretched out his limbs and left them to stare out by the windowsill. Probably told them they were crazy stressful and he couldn't deal.
"Shut up, listen this could be a real solution to writer's block."
"Okay genius, how the heck am I supposed to do that?"
