Yes, obviously

It was awkward holding the towel over her face. Moreso when she had to try opening the door. As she tried pushing the door open she let go of the towel and it fell, exposed her gagged mouth to the world. She tried to pick it up again but heard someone coming behind her and decided to just leave it behind and run. She made it as far as the next red light and was forced to wait for the walk signal.

She felt her cheeks red with shame, and she could see people pointing at her and whispering. She was so embarrassed. They must all think she's some kind of freak. Why wouldn't this light change?

"Hey." A voice said beside her. Tilly looked over, and then up, at a much taller woman she'd ever met. "I like your gag. Very hot. I wish I had the confidence to go out in public with one on. I know this is kind of forward but would like...umm...want to get coffee or something...like, together?"

Oh my God this woman was asking her out on a date. Tilly was initially flattered. Nobody had asked her out in forever. Then she was confused, she wasn't into women, was she? Except then why did this one look so hot? Finally she was mortified, this woman was asking her out because of the gag that was now forced into her mouth.

"Right, you can't reply. Here," The woman pulled out a small piece of paper and scribbled on it, "That's my number. Think about it. Call or text me. I'm Anita by the way." Tilly found herself mechanically accepting the paper. She didn't know what to do so she gave a thumbs up. Anita seemed to take that as a good sign and she blushed, "Great. Well, um...light's green. I can't be late for work. Bye!" She hurried off across the street.

Tilly got moving too. The gym wasn't too far from her apartment but she didn't want to be outside longer than necessary. As she walked she passed by her favorite bagel joint and her stomach growled her at. She patted her belly, not today apparently. She manage to make it to her apartment without any other interactions. She just hoped nobody took her photo, the last thing she needed was to be immortalized online.

She checked the app and saw no new notifications. Well, she should probably take initiative. Her place was kind of a dump, maybe she really could clean it.
