I took the courage I was saving and decided to break the silence.
-Sasha, do you want to ask each other questions so we can get to know each other a little better? I want to know about you. - I looked straight ahead and felt her looking at me intently.
-Yes, that's fine. Shall I start? - She said softly, and I nodded. She put her hands on her legs and was silent for a few seconds to think.
- What is your favourite colour? - Hearing her question, I was so surprised.
- Is something wrong? - She said while frowning as if she didn't understand my reaction.
-It's no big deal. It's just that most people usually ask me about my work and stuff. - She was different from the women I knew.
-But I'm glad you chose that question. I like grey. What colour do you like? -
-Green. - Without realising it, we both started asking each other questions about what we liked and what things we didn't like. Now we were looking at each other as we talked. I felt comfortable talking to her.
