"It's a wonderful place," Adia says sincerely; it's not the wine talking, either, she's barely had half a glass. "But it's not for everyone, especially if you can't come and go as you please." Whether it's for a certain Cylon ex-boyfriend, Adia can only wildly speculate. It's yet another experience that she won't be able to share with him.
She takes another sip of wine, making herself more comfortable in her seat before explaining. "It means someone who is energized by spending time alone. It doesn't mean the same thing as being shy. I was always more self-conscious about talking to other people, it never seemed to bother him. He just preferred to be alone." She smiles nostalgically, still holding onto her wine glass. "He told me once that being around me was like being by himself, which sounds awful, but I knew what he meant. We could sit and read, or watch a movie, and we didn't need to fill up the time with idle chatter. We could be quiet together."
"Chocolate coins sound like a fun treat. Is it suppose to bring wealth? We'd have a big meal, too, usually at my grandmother's, although sometimes she'd come to visit us. The cake was store-bought, though. It had all these layers... my mom baked sometimes, but that kind of cake was probably out of her league."
