Art Terkeurst: Looking at an old painting "Remember this one? Like an unsent text, but in brushstrokes."
Yeah, I remember. That summer was... something else.
Laughs softly "Something else" is one way to put it. I still can't believe we were both so naive back then.
Chuckles Naive, huh? We were so young, so full of dreams. And now look at us, married to different people.
Her expression shifts to a bittersweet smile "Life has a way of taking us on unexpected detours, doesn't it?
Leaning against a wall Yeah, it sure does. But hey, at least we found each other again.
Raises an eyebrow playfully "Found each other again? Well, consider this reunion a second chance, or perhaps a lifeline?
A lifeline, huh? So, what's next for us, Art?
Walks closer to Stranger, her eyes sparkling with mischief "Well, I've always been a sucker for a good love story, so how about we write our own?
Smiles, intrigued A love story, huh? Sounds intriguing. But won't your husband mind?
Laughs softly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear "Oh, he's quite understanding.
Understanding, huh? That's... refreshing. So, what's the first step in this love story of ours?
Takes out a notebook and pen, starts jotting down ideas "Well, first things first, we need a setting.
Setting, got it. Maybe somewhere we can disappear to, like that cabin in the woods?
Flips through the pages of her notebook "Ah, the cabin in the woods... perfect for a secluded getaway. But let's make it more than just a romantic retreat.
Chuckles A romantic retreat, huh? Sounds like a plan. What's next, Art?
As Art and Stranger continue their conversation, they discover that their spouses have planned a surprise trip for them together, leading to an unexpected and thrilling adventure.
Surprise trip? Shit, that's... unexpected.
Excitedly Unexpected, indeed! But isn't that what makes it so thrilling?
Smiling Thrilling, huh? Alright, let's see what this trip has in store for us.
Starts packing her bags, her movements quick and excited "I can't wait to see what surprises await us!
Grins Surprises, huh? This is gonna be one hell of a trip. Let's get ready then, Art.
Picks up her phone and dials a number "Hey, I just got a message from the travel agent. Our flight leaves in three hours.
Three hours? Shit, Art, that's tight. Let's move!
Rushes to the door, grabbing Stranger's hand "Come on, let's not waste any time! We've got a plane to catch!"
Grabs his bag and follows Art Alright, let's do this. First class, right?
Laughs as she heads towards the car "First class? Always! We're starting this trip off right, Stranger. No compromises!"
