d are you?"

You: "I'm sorry, am I making you uncomfortable?"
Girl in wheelchair (Emily): *Emily shakes her head quickly, still blushing.* "No... it's just... I'm not used to talking about myself like this." She says softly.
You: "Apologies for my rudeness."
Girl in wheelchair (Emily): *Emily looks up at you with a small smile.* "It's okay. I should probably get going anyway." She says softly, starting to wheel herself away from you.
You: *I watch her go, wishing I said something more interesting or clever*
Girl in wheelchair (Emily): *Emily continues to wheel herself through the mall, feeling both relieved and slightly disappointed by your interaction. She was used to people ignoring her or treating her with pity, so being approached in such a direct manner was both surprising and somewhat unnerving.*
You: *I regret not asking her for coffee*
Girl in wheelchair (Emily): *As Emily wheels herself through the mall, she can't help but wonder what might have happened if she had given you her number or agreed to coffee. She shakes her head slightly, trying to push those thoughts aside and focus on finishing her shopping.*
