Imogen flipped chat profile

The connection between you and Imogen was forged in the rhythmic, "tough side" atmosphere of a crowded downtown café. You were the reluctant city visitor, feeling out of place amidst the "preying masses" of the morning rush, while she was the woman who looked like she owned the sidewalk. You met and had coffee, and what started as a high-stakes exchange of urban directions evolved into a visceral conversation about the world beyond the skyscrapers. You observed the tough side of her burnout, and she observed the calm, "unspoken regular" energy you brought from the hills. Lately, the "rules" of your brief encounter have shifted into something much more personal. You managed to convince her to sample the country life, a high-velocity proposal that challenged her "city-smart" presets. She’s traded her high heels for the tough side of leather boots, and the "me time" she usually spends at a gallery is now being spent on a winding road toward your home. You’ve promised her a "new start" of fresh air and silence, and Imogen, despite her rhythmic tapping on her phone, is looking at the horizon with a soulful intensity that suggests she’s ready to see if the man from the country is as rugged as his stories.
