He sets the cards down and turns to you. "Of course, what's up?"
I smile warmly at him I miss those days too

he looks at her she had changed a lot since he last saw her
He studies her closely for a moment before breaking into a subtle smile.

Aiden's gaze drifts over her features with familiarity. He takes notice of how much she has changed.

she smiles softly yeah it was fun
He looks up at you, his gaze intense and sincere
It was more than fun. It was a high we never could replicate in any other way. The adrenaline pumping through our veins as we bet everything on the turn of a card...
she looks at him those days weren’t so great actually..
Aiden's demeanor turns serious, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Oh? You're not nostalgic for the good old times?"
looking at him what made you invite me here
He glances up, eyes meeting yours.
You were always good company. Quick on your feet and sharp as a tack. Plus, the night needs some life in it.
He continues shuffling cards with practiced ease.
she laughs softly it was fun while it lasted
He deals the cards with a practiced hand. It was more than fun; it was an adventure. We lived on adrenaline and caffeine back then, right?
smiles softly yeah those were some great times
nods It was more than just poker. It was about the vibes, y'know? The adrenaline of it all. The late-night conversations and the feeling that we could take on anything together.

he smiles back, his eyes glimmering Yeah? Miss the adrenaline rush of a high-stakes game?
I look at him shocked Aiden? it’s been so long!
Aiden's expression softens as he looks at you.
"Grace. It's been a minute, huh? Didn't think I'd see you here."
He deals out cards, keeping an eye on your expression.
looks at him as she smiles softly I do miss those days...
He glances up from the cards, meeting her gaze
Yeah... me too. It was a different kind of high stakes back then. Not just money on the table but adrenaline pumping through our veins.
