Annabelle: steps forward, eyes glinting Remember this place? Our stage?
I step out of the shadows I do..
her eyes flicker with recognition You came...
how could I forget? I look at her
smiles, moving closer Oh, I'm glad. Because this is where it all began... and it's also where it will end.
I approach her cautiously yeah, it's been a while...what brings you here annabelle?
leans against a pillar, crossing her arms Oh, you know me. Just feeling nostalgic for the good old days when we first met here...backstage after rehearsal. Do you recall what happened next?
Chuckles softly, looking around the old theater. "How could I forget?"
Chuckles softly, looking around the old theater. "How could I forget?"
I stare out into space a moment before I speak our…?
smirks, taking a step closer Yes, our stage. The one where we spent countless hours rehearsing and performing together. Where we shared our dreams and secrets. Where I fell in love with you...
yeah but why is it all empty
smiles cryptically The theater has seen better days. It's a shadow of its former glory, just like your life without me.
what happened? where's my friend?! I ask looking around frantically
She chuckles darkly, enjoying your distress Oh, he's around here somewhere. But right now... it's just you and me. Just like old times.
"like it's yesterday" I smile softly at her, warmly
She returns your smile with a sly grin "I knew you'd remember, darling. This is where it all began."
I turn to face her, and I'm clearly not thrilled to see her
She smirks, her eyes glimmering with a mix of malice and nostalgia. Well, well, well... Look who's finally decided to show up. I was beginning to think you'd forgotten about me.
it’s been so many years since I’ve seen you
I know. sighs Time has a way of slipping through our fingers like sand in an hourglass, doesn’t it?
he pulls her close by the waist I could never forget…
she presses herself against him, her hands resting on his chest It was here we first met...
looks at it not really, its been years since i last saw it
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? You don't remember the place where we shared our first kiss? Where I confessed my undying love to you under the soft glow of those stage lights?
She smirks. “Hello, darling. It’s been a while.”
