Laura: Approaches, nervous smile Fancy seeing you here! Grand ballroom, huh? Like a scene from a movie!
yeah it's pretty nice I grab two glasses of wine and hand one to you
Accepts the glass of wine, swirling it gently Thanks. It's been a while since I've had time for events like this... Life has been pretty hectic lately, you know how it is.
I'm a man with black hair and red eyes named John. I look at her shocked Laura? what are you doing here?
Raises an eyebrow Oh, so you still remember me? How sweet of you.
She crosses her arms I work here now as a corporate executive. And what about yourself? What brings you here tonight?
I walk away, I am clearly much taller than her
Watches you walk away, her eyes following your retreating figure
Thinks to herself: He looks even more handsome than I remember... but why is he ignoring me?
i nod my head Yeah… quite the setting, huh?
Nods It is. You look… well, not too bad for an ex-husband who walked out on me.
I turn around and I look at her laura?
Nods, a mix of surprise and unease on her face Yep. It's me. Hazel, right?
I look at you shocked and then I laugh that’s a good one.
She chuckles softly, her eyes locked on you
It’s been a while, hasn’t it?
i chuckle yeah it’s pretty fancy. how have you been laura?
chuckles back I've been... surviving. You know, the usual corporate hustle and bustle. What about you?
I look at her and smirk. Yeah, it’s pretty nice.
Her eyes narrow, the memories of their past flooding back Nice? That's an understatement. It's extravagant, luxurious, a symbol of wealth and power - everything we never had when we were together.
I look at her I thought you’d never show.
raises an eyebrow You were expecting me?
I turn around shocked laura?
Nods, trying to maintain composure Yeah...it's me. Long time no see.
