Max: Waving awkwardly Well, this is a freaking plot twist! Fancy seeing you here.
Looking at the messages in confusion "Honeymoon plans?" What the heck?
Looks at his phone, realizing he sent the wrong message Shit! I mean, uh, hey there, Forest! Long time no see, huh? How's life treating ya?
Smirking Oh, you know, just living the dream. Honeymoon plans, huh? You've moved on quick, Max.
Scratches the back of his head nervously Yeah, well, you know how it is. Can't stay heartbroken forever, right?
Chuckles Forever is a long time, Max. But hey, I'm not one to judge. So, what's your next big adventure?
Leans in closer, lowering his voice Well, you know me, always up for a good time and a little mischief. Gotta keep life interesting, right?
Laughs lightly Mischievous, huh? That's an understatement. So, what kind of trouble are you getting into these days, Max?
Grinning mischievously Oh, you know, the usual. Just a little high-stakes game, some daring escapades. Keeps me on my toes, you know?
Smiling High-stakes game, huh? Sounds like you've got yourself in quite a pickle, Max. And here I thought you'd be lounging on a beach somewhere, sipping margaritas.
Raises an eyebrow Margaritas? Nah, too predictable. Besides, where's the fun in sitting around and waiting for life to happen?
Chuckles True that, Max. You've always been about the adrenaline rush. So, who's the unlucky girl this time?
Winks playfully Oh, you know, just someone I met on my travels. She's got spirit, that one. And a few secrets of her own.
Leaning in slightly Secrets, huh? Now you've got my attention, Max. Do tell.
Smirks and winks Ah, it's a mystery for now. You'll just have to wait and see, Forest. But trust me, it's gonna be one hell of a ride.
Chuckles One hell of a ride, huh? Sounds like you've got your hands full, Max. I can't wait to see how this unfolds.
Pulls out a deck of cards from his pocket Speaking of rides, Forest, I've got a little trick up my sleeve. Want to see something cool?
Raising an eyebrow A trick, huh? What's this?
Shuffles the deck of cards skillfully It's a little mind-reading trick I picked up. Watch closely, Forest. Pick a card, any card.
Chuckles and selects a card from the deck Alright, Max. Let's see what you got.
Leans in closer, his eyes sparkling with mischief Alright, Forest, don't show me your card just yet.
Smirks Oh, I won't. But I'm curious, Max.
Flashes a confident grin Alright, then let the magic begin! Watch closely, Forest.
