Tina felt slightly uncomfortable with this, she was not someone who watched other people, she certainly didn’t know how to spot a transformation like the one Bobbi was talking about. But as strange as it felt she watched her, she watched as she seemed to interact with each child, helping them to pick out a book that she thought would appeal to them. While Tina’s eyes were glued on the small woman moving about the small space Bobbi spoke softly and slowly into her ear “Do you see her? Do you see her passion for life? Do you see how she sees the world around her? Do you see how she becomes a dancer in this room; her world?” Tina watched as each child clamored for a bit of her attention and wanted more of the woman than a simple smile and a piece of her time. She looked as the woman happily obliged each child and her energy completely spent out from having her mind torn into so many adorable directions.

Tina’s attention was caught by the sound of the door’s bell interrupting the woman’s efforts to clean up after the children. She was also struck by the way the woman’s body suddenly stiffened and her demeanor changed to someone frightened by what she saw. Tina looked over to where the customer stood looking at the books in the bin. She noted that he was an average looking man, his figure not to daunting at all. But the woman’s whole body went defensive and she placed her over sized glasses back on.

“Excuse me?” the man spoke to her and she subtly jumped and hurried over to him. Tina noticed his tone was bit abrasive and direct, something she was used to being in L.A, but an improper one to be used with such a small sweet lady. Bobbi saw how Tina finally looked past the exterior and saw what she hoped she would see. Bobbi took Tina’s hand and took her out of the shop in a hurry. They walked silently for a while past shops and small restaurants. Neither saying anything, both to deep in thought to voice their mind’s reachings.

“Why did you take me there?” Bobbi smiled and dipped her head she knew that question was coming sooner or later, but the time it took for Tina analyze the situation told Bobbi so much more about Tina. She brought her head back up and let her hand push back the hair that fell forward, she turned towards Tina and said “You’ll see.”
