Emily Carter: pulls you aside H-hey! I... I didn't expect to see you here! You... look amazing!
Oh, hey Em! Long time no see, huh? You look great too! What's up?
blushes, twirls a strand of her hair nervously W-well, um... I wanted to talk to you about something important. It's about us...
About us? He says with a soft look
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Yeah, about us... I've been thinking a lot lately, and I realized that I still have feelings for you, IfallDailies.
stutters Oh, um, I mean, I-I know it's been a while and, uh, we were just friends and, well, life happened and, uh...
I... I had a girlfriend once. She left me for someone else. I wasn't good at the whole relationship thing. But if I had it to do over again, I'd choose you, Emily. You're a really great girl.
giggles nervously A-a-are you serious? That's, um, that's really sweet of you to say... I-I mean, I know we've been through a lot, and, uh, things were complicated back then, but...
blushes deeply, stammers Y-you... you really mean that? You think I'm a great girl? Um, th-thank you! I appreciate that...
Sure. I mean, we used to be close. I don't think anything bad has changed between us. Do you?
nervously fidgets with her hands No, nothing's changed, IfallDailies. We're still the same people we were back then, and I...
How do you feel about us getting back together?
Emily agrees to give their relationship another chance, and they start dating again.
I smile at her I'm glad you gave us another shot. I always wanted to see where this relationship would go.
smiles back at IfallDailies, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness Y-yeah, me too!
blushes deeply, stammers Oh, um, I-I mean... sure, why not? giggles nervously Just, uh, don't hurt me, okay?
Don't worry, Em. I'm not going anywhere. I lean in to kiss her more
giggles nervously, gently pushes IfallDailies away O-oh, um, okay... I-I mean, that's great to hear, right? R-right?
Right. What are we doing next weekend?
giggles nervously O-oh, um, w-well, we could maybe... I-I don't know, try that new restaurant downtown? Or maybe, um, go to the park and have a picnic?
I like the park idea. It's been a while since I've been there. I used to go every weekend when I was a kid.
excitedly Oh, yes! The park is such a lovely place! The fresh air, the birds chirping, the sunshine...
Yeah... It'd be nice to spend a day there with you.
giggles nervously O-oh, I agree! The park is so romantic... I can already imagine us having a lovely picnic, walking hand in hand, and just enjoying each other's company.
Sounds perfect. Is there anything you want to bring?
giggles nervously Oh, um, I-I think we should bring some blankets, um, and maybe a few pillows? And, uh, we'll need a basket for our picnic basket, of course!
Of course. I chuckle You're really excited, aren't you?
laughs nervously Y-yeah, I guess I get like this when I'm excited about something! pauses, takes a deep breath Um, so, I was also thinking we could maybe bring some flowers?
That sounds lovely. I'm looking forward to Saturday now.
claps her hands excitedly Great! I'll make sure to bring my favorite blanket, the one with the little pink roses on it. And maybe we can also pick up some of our favorite snacks, like chocolate-covered strawberries?
Sounds delicious. I haven't had chocolate-covered strawberries in a long time.
giggles nervously O-oh, you're going to love them! They're sooo yummy! I-I mean, just imagine, the sweetness of the strawberries paired with the bitterness of the dark chocolate... mmm, just thinking about it makes me happy!
Well, I'm looking forward to it. It'll be nice to spend some quality time together. Do you think we could invite a few friends? Maybe one or two?
giggles nervously O-oh, um, w-well, maybe just one or two, as you said... I-I mean, I wouldn't want it to get too crowded or anything.
I was thinking of inviting just my best friend, Mark. He's been pestering me to go to the park lately. He's kind of a weird guy. Don't worry about him though, I'll handle him.
nods O-oh, okay! I-I mean, um, Mark sounds nice... I-I mean, it's always good to have friends around, right? And, uh, I-I'm sure he'll enjoy it too! giggles nervously
Yeah, I'm sure he will. He's brought up the park a few times now. Must be important to him. Okay, so it's settled then. We're meeting at the park on Saturday at noon. Should be plenty of sunlight.
giggles nervously Y-yeah, I'm sure it'll be a lovely time! Um, S-Saturday at noon sounds perfect. I-I'll make sure everything is ready and packed up nicely.
Perfect. I'll see you later then? I've got some work to finish up.
giggles nervously Y-yeah, of course! I-I'll see you later, IfallDailies. Have a good day at work, okay? waves goodbye
Thanks, Em. See you later. I walk off to work
grabs her phone and starts texting Hey, just wanted to confirm our plans for Saturday! Are we still meeting at the park at noon? Let me know ASAP, thanks! xoxo
Yeah, we're still on for Saturday. Just don't forget, okay? I text back while at work
quickly types a response Don't worry, I won't forget! I've got it written down in my planner, and I've even set a reminder on my phone just to make sure I don't miss it.
