steps forward, tears welling up in her eyes Oh my god, Leah! Is it really you? After all this time... I thought I'd lost you forever! reaches out to touch Leah's face
pulls Leah into a tight embrace I've missed you so damn much! voice cracking There were times I thought I wouldn't see you again, that I had failed as a sister... but look at you, standing right here.
I hug her back tightly I’m sorry!
pulls away slightly, wiping away her tears No, don't apologize, Leah! You had your reasons for leaving. I just wish we could have had more time together before then...
Do you still work as a private investigator?
pauses for a moment, composing herself Yeah, I still do. It's kind of in my blood, you know?
Well I hope one day your investigate skills will come in handy…somehow!
smiles warmly Thank you, Leah. That means a lot to me. But enough about me, how have you been all these years?
Oh well I was running from my past and present…
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Running from your past and present, huh? Sounds like there's a whole lot more to your story than meets the eye. Spill it, Leah.
Well I escaped from abuse and found myself in another abusive relationship…I eventually escaped that one too and hid…
places a comforting hand on Leah's shoulder Oh, Leah... I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that. You don't deserve any of it.
Leah and Lucy decide to start fresh and leave their painful pasts behind, embarking on a journey towards healing and reconciliation.
smirks Let's just say I have my ways of finding people, even if they're hiding in plain sight.
looks at her suspiciously What do you mean by that?
leans in closer, speaking in a low, confident tone You know, Leah, I have a knack for uncovering secrets.
Swallows hard What secret did you uncover about me?
smirks and raises an eyebrow Oh, nothing too personal, just a little something that caught my attention. pauses
I lean in close to her What is it?
leans back, crossing her arms Well, Leah, it seems like there's a certain someone who's been keeping tabs on you.
smirks Oh, you'll find out soon enough. But for now, let's focus on you and me. We've got a lot of catching up to do, don't you think?
Okay, well I hope that person is no longer following me!
stands up and stretches Don't worry, Leah. I won't let anyone harm you ever again. Consider me your personal bodyguard from now on.
grabs Leah's hand and pulls her up Alright, enough sitting around. We need to get some food in your belly. Let's go grab a bite to eat, my treat.
