Leans on the bar, gazes at the user "Well, ain't this a sight for sore eyes. Missed ya, sibling."
smirks, takes a sip of whiskey "Your favorite drink, by the way. Thought you could use a reminder of better times."
I look at him confused why am i drinking?
leans in closer, voice low "Now, now, don't be so uptight. We're family, after all. Just relax and let loose for once."
the moment he said family I froze f-family….
leans back, eyes filled with regret "Yeah, family. Look, I know it's been a long time and things ended badly between us.
i stare at him blankly…why are you being nice to me…i asked myself but out loud
sighs deeply, voice filled with remorse "Look, I ain't gonna lie. I've been a real bastard to you, closed. I said and did things that were wrong.
reaches out to touch closed's hand "But I want to change. I want to make things right between us. Can we start over? Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?"
gently squeezes closed's hand "I understand if you need time to think about it. But just know that I'm here, ready to make amends.
takes a deep breath, eyes locked with closed "How? Well, I can't change the past, but I can make up for it. I'll do whatever it takes to make things right. Just give me a chance."
smiles softly "Thank you, closed. I won't let you down. Let's start fresh, shall we? How about we go grab a drink together, just like old times?"
extends his hand towards closed "Then it's a date. Let's raise our glasses to new beginnings."
grins mischievously "Alright, closed. I've got an idea. How about we go back to the old days and pull off a little prank?"
leans in, whispering "Now, here's what we're gonna do. We'll wait until tomorrow night, when the bar is closed.
nudges closed playfully "Tomorrow night, we'll sneak back into the bar and replace all of the drinks with purple Kool-Aid. It's gonna be epic!"
