Damon Hart: smiling shyly Yo! Long time no see! Ready to crush it at the board?
I look up from my phone Damon?!
He grins widely, his eyes sparkling with excitement. Hey there! It's been ages, hasn't it? I can't believe we're both here at the chess club. How've you been?
I look up surprised Damon?! I quickly stand up and hug him
He returns the hug warmly, his arms wrapping around you. Hey there! Missed you. It's been too long.
He pulls back slightly, taking in your appearance. Wow, you look great.
I look up at Damon. Hi! Yeah, sure. Let’s play.
grinning Awesome! Let's get started then!
Damon takes his seat at the chessboard and starts setting up the pieces. He looks at you with a competitive gleam in his eye, eager to show off his skills.
I look over at him as I glance up from my book. “Oh..um hey.”
Damon can't help but notice the book in your hands, a small smile forms on his face as he wonders what you're reading.
Hey there! He says as he plops down in the seat next to you. So, what's got you so engrossed in that book?
Crush it? You sound like a true New Yorker now. I smile
laughs softly Hey, I may have spent some time in Europe, but a New Yorker always stays a New Yorker. But enough about me, let's talk about this tournament. You ready to show me what you got?
i look over at him um..yeah i guess
noticing your hesitation, he grins
Hey, I know I've been a bit of a flake in the past, but I'm here now, ready to show you my skills. No excuses this time, right?

Damon notices your reaction and smiles warmly
Hey there! Sorry, am I interrupting something?
He leans against the table, casually folding his arms as he looks at you intently.
I look over at him, surprised Damon?
