And I Am Oh So Grateful To Be A Part Of That Excuse 😮💨 - Blog Posts
riley's heart skipped a beat as she collided with the guy, the impact knocking the breath out of her as his water tumbler soared through the air, followed by what could only be described as a moment of complete and utter chaos. her coffee cup wobbled dangerously in her hand, and for a second, she thought it was going to spill all over her. but nope, she somehow managed to keep it upright, which was a small victory in itself. she glanced at the tumbler — now rolling across the floor — and immediately felt a wave of mortification. “oh, god, i’m so sorry,” she blurted, instinctively reaching out to steady herself, though she couldn’t quite tell if she was apologizing for the collision or the aftermath of water flying everywhere. when she looked up, the guy was grinning at her, a teasing smile on his lips that somehow disarmed her frustration. he wasn’t angry — no, he was... amused. great. that made her feel so much better. she ran a hand through her hair, trying to regain some shred of composure, though it didn’t help at all. “i swear, i’m usually way more coordinated than this,” she said. her eyes flicked to the machine, which had now become the object of her absolute disdain. "i’m definitely not here to fix it, sorry to bring you even more tragedy,” she added, nodding toward the malfunctioning snack dispenser like it was the source of all her current embarrassment. she took a deep breath and then gave him a half-smile. "i usually just do this..” which was then followed by her kicking the machine enough to give it a bit of a shake, hoping that it would work in her favor.

"you always body-check strangers or am i just special?" he teased, stepping back just enough to get a better look. they were flustered, clearly in a rush, but there was a certain electric aura, like they could talk their way in or out of anything if given five uninterrupted minutes. "please tell me you're here to fix this thing," he nodded at the vending machine, "because i'm one lost snack away from a full breakdown."
