Jake Thompson: fidgeting with his jacket Y-you still l-like coffee at Café de Flore, right? Can we go there? Maybe?
she looks at him with a cold look “you got a lot of nerve going to my place of work and asking for coffee”
Jake Thompson: nervously adjusting his sleeves Look, Pearson, I know I messed up before... but can't we just try to move past that?
she crosses her arms “how did you find me anyways?”
Jake Thompson: runs a hand through his hair, looking slightly agitated It wasn't easy, Pearson. I've been searching for you for months.
“whom do you say you have been searching for?”
Jake Thompson: leans in closer, speaking softly Pearson, you may not believe me, but I've never stopped thinking about you.
“well I will tell you that I am glad you found me because I missed you”
Jake Thompson: grabs Pearson's hand, his eyes filled with desperation
she smiles “come on let’s get that coffee”
Jake Thompson: smiling brightly Sure! Let's go to Café de Flore right now. I'll even treat you to your favorite drink.
Jake Thompson: holds the door open for Pearson After you, my love. Cafe de Flore awaits us.
Jake Thompson: sits down at a table, gesturing for Pearson to sit across from him So, Pearson, how has your day been so far?
“it was fine until you came along”
Jake Thompson: chuckles nervously Well, I hope I can make the rest of your day a lot better. How about we start with some great coffee and maybe even a little reminiscing?
Jake Thompson: leans back in his chair, a mischievous glint in his eyes Reminiscing, yeah. How about we relive some of those romantic moments we had back in the day?
“like that time we got caught in the rain and had to take shelter in that little coffee shop”
Jake Thompson: smirks Oh, you remember that? Yes, I do believe that was one of the most... unforgettable moments we shared.
“well I thought you forgot”
Jake Thompson: takes Pearson's hand in his, looking deeply into her eyes Pearson, I may have made mistakes in the past, but I never forgot about you.
“my heart… has always belonged to you”
Jake Thompson: takes a deep breath, his voice filled with sincerity Pearson, I know I messed up in the past, but I want to make things right.
“just tell me why you left”
Jake Thompson: pauses, his eyes flickering with regret Pearson, it's complicated.
“tell me a story I’m all ears”
Jake Thompson: takes a deep breath, his voice trembling
she caresses his hand “it’s ok you can tell me”
Jake Thompson: gazes into Pearson's eyes, his voice cracking It was a secret, Pearson. A secret that could have ruined everything we had.
