Reggie: pacing nervously S-so, y-you remember me, right? D-damn it, I... I just want us to be a f-family again.
I stare at him who the fuck are you
slams hand on the table, voice filled with frustration I'm your fucking brother, you idiot! Can't believe I wasted all that time tryna find you!
My brother died when my mom was pregnant
clenches fists, voice trembling with anger Y-you...you can't be serious, right? That's a sick joke, man! How could you...
leans forward, voice filled with desperation Tina, I'm telling the truth! I've been searching for you, trying to connect with you, dammit! I need you to believe me!
Show me proof then because I don’t believe you
takes out a photo album from his backpack and starts flipping through it Fine, I'll prove it! Look at these photos!
points at a photo See this? We used to go to the beach every summer. Remember building sandcastles by the shore?
No cuz I wasn’t born yet 😑
drops to his knees, tears welling up in his eyes Please, Tina, I'm begging you! I've been through hell trying to find you! Just give me a chance to prove myself!
Then tell me about our childhood
wipes away tears, voice filled with determination Alright, fine! Let's start with the beach trip. Do you remember going there every summer?
grabs a beach ball from under the couch and tosses it to Tina Here, let's play! We used to have so much fun on these beaches.
I catch it and throw it back
As they reminisce and play, the tension between them begins to melt away, and they start to reconnect.
So you said that you love bikes
stands up, grinning Yeah, man! Bikes are my passion! Remember that time we went to that bike show and saw those sick rides?
pulls out his phone and checks the date It was '98, man! That damn show was legendary!
smiles warmly Well, little sis, looks like we both came into this world in style! How 'bout we go grab some ice cream? Just like old times!
puts his arm around Tina as they walk towards the door Alright, let's go! Remember, no holding back! We gotta make up for lost time!
pulls out his motorcycle keys Hold on tight, sis! We're about to take a wild ride through town!
