I finally feel like less of a cave-woman now that I actually have my own internet access. Took me long enough. Might as well join society. 

Life without internet made you feel like you were in the stone age? 

That is completely fine. It is nice to meet you as well, Travis. My name is Stella. I’m not sure if I have already introduced myself. If so, I apologize with my redundancy… I also come and go, my job gets extremely busy, so I definitely understand that. Here’s to the two of us hopefully crossing paths more often though!

There’s no need to apologize, Stella. I’ve been in and out of this town so many times I can’t remember if I introduced myself to most people. Or if they even remember me. How are you tonight?

This is my first year, yes. 

It’s great to meet you. I’m Travis. I come and go a lot so I miss meeting people. 

That would be awesome. You can definitely send them my way! 

It’s as good as done. Is this your first year with the hotel? I can’t remember if you were here last summer.

With the first day of summer approaching, and it already kind of feeling like it, you should totally check out some of the deals we have going at the Marriott. They have several Stay-cation deals, and since I work there, I can get you a discount! 

I don’t stay at the hotel but I do know people who travel who may be interested in visiting this fine town.

Not anymore if you’re so hung up on it, just saying, dude.

Because I have a mask on my face?

I think you lost me with this conversation.

You saying that is making me guess what the fuck you do for a living, and I’m stuck on drug lord, mafia boss, or CEO who has a few too many side chicks. 

Not really. I’m a bit of an over dramatic actress. 

None of the above. I’m a philanthropist. I donate my time and money to various causes. I was in Cambodia for over a month. I research different organization and try to help out in any way possible.

So your main area is drama?

You don’t watch movies? Are you a hermit? No, I don’t own any films of myself, that might be weird. 

I know of some. Mainly the major titles. I don’t have a lot of time to sit and watch films. I do enjoy audio books because I can multitask with them. 

You don’t like to watch your performances? 

I guess so, it is human nature. 

I’m an actress. Low budget films though, you probably wouldn’t have seen them. 

I’d like to say name a few but you may be right. I don’t know a lot of movies in general. Do you have any on DVD?

Don’t judge a book by its cover. Okay, so maybe I was judging a little bit, but it’s okay. 

Somewhat. For work. 

I think we all tend to judge unintentionally.  What’s your line of work?

Ohh, now I should change my icon now.

Why would you want to do something like that? It’s a nice icon. Creative and most certainly different.

Did I say there was something wrong with it? 

That’s good, i mean kinda boring considering the change of pace, but good I guess. 

No. You didn’t. I thought from the way it was written you weren’t a fan. 

Do you travel?

Oh, a total mystery, dude. 

I should have seen that coming. It’s cute. 

It really did! Like you’d dropped off the planet. I didn’t like it, friend.

Um… I’m great. As usual. How was the world outside this one?

Ha! Rest assured my feet are firmly planted on this planet. 

It’s been well. Busy with numerous challenges and heartaches and tears of happiness. I’ve explored the world and helped people in need. 

I do, but my dad swears it isn’t where my name came from. Not sure I believe him. Your vacation home is in Havenoaks? Wouldn’t most people choose somewhere like Paris or Tahoe or something?

Where does he say it’s from? My mom lives just outside of Paris, which makes it convenient when I want to visit for awhile. I have homes in other cities and one in London. I like to travel. I don’t have one place I consider my actual home.

Cool, cool.

Me with a fake smile on my face.

Were you smiling underneath the drawing? Or is that a mystery?
