You see in her eyes, the smallest glimmer of happiness. An adorable tiny smile as she nervously fiddles with her hands.
"O-of course. I have many credits... I-i can buy you many things."
She seems shy, but it seems like she knows what she wants...
"Sounds great, does 10am work for you?"
Enthusiastically she nods.
"I'd love to eat some amazing blue food with you. Theres a trendy cafe in the plaza... I-i've always wanted to go with someone."
"Sure!"
Her supervisor looks over her shoulder. And she sort of nervously snaps out of it.
"O-oh dear, I've gotten a bit carried away. I'll see you later okay Daba Dye?"
"Sure thing Sapphire."

You get home, only to see that So Blue is already at home waiting for you. And she's wearing a new outfit, a nightgown.
"Welcome home Daba Dye..."
"Oh... Uh, So... Thats an interesting outfit. Did you buy that at your retail job?"
She nods affirmingly.
"Cerulean Coves underwater lingerie mystique. Its our newest item..."
Damn it, you'd really hoped to get some alone time with the phone tonight...
"Uh.... So, you look uh... Good tonight, I... I'm just... Gonna go freshen up in the bathroom for a bit okay?"
She looks at you quizzically.
"You're acting strange... This hue of blue is all the rage. Is it not to your liking?"
"I-i uh... I mean... Its um..." Damn it, all you can think about is those sparks from earlier...
"G-gotta go to the bathroom!"
You dash out to the bathroom, closing and locking the door. Breathing heavily, you pull out your Comms device.
