took a gift and I gave it to her one
I was the only person that brought a gift to
this place. But if she looked at me like I
was crazy. She was like, oh, you came out here,
And it was like Ashley said, like just coming was
what all she expected. So when I gave her this gift,
(04:23):
she was like she looked at me like she was
the weirdest thing, Like she was not expecting a present,
like I had never been in that situation.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
