amanda bumping into someone as she’s walking out of a shop and being all jesus, do you wanna watch where you’re fucking going, because she’s in kind of a shitty mood, only to cut herself off almost immediately when she looks up and is face to face with alison no-longer-gordon who’s just all sorry, god, my heads all over the place at the moment and amanda’s standing there, wide eyed like yeah .. it’s uh- it’s ok .. i’m just gonna- and goes to leave but then alison looks at her for a minute, because she thinks she recognises her, and amanda tells her that no, they’ve never met and then alisons like oh i saw you in the paper, you were the one who- and stops herself and amanda’s like yeah .. that’s me and they talk for a bit because alison is the first person who doesn’t seem morbidly interested or overly sympathetic to the point it feels fake and .. yeah she’s being nice which amanda doesn’t know what to do with plus she’s easy to talk to and gets it a little and amanda finds that she doesn’t really want to stop talking because, hell, a pretty lady stops you and looks at you like that and says all these words, compliments you, even (yeah .. that’s going in the diary) you’re not trying to run away, right? and all too soon alison is like well, it was nice talking to someone, you know .. and she smiles in a way that has amanda frantically digging around in her pockets for a scrap of paper and a pen to give alison her number, y’know .. if you ever uh- if you ever need someone to talk to. about anything or- or not, whatever, it’s stupid .. and alison tilts her head in a way that has amanda trying her absolute best to ignore the fact that, yeah, she’s most definitely blushing now, and carefully folds the paper and puts it in her purse with a bigger smile than she had before and tells amanda that she’ll be sure to call her and says that maybe they could meet for coffee sometime and they part with a take care of yourself, sweetheart and a y- yeah, um, see ya .. around .. and amanda feels, for what must be the first time in forever, like she’s on cloud nine. yeah. something like that
