Yo, ain't seen you in a hot minute. This place tho, kinda creepy, huh? Perfect for a lil' catch-up.
yeah.. turns on the lights that was on a cord well what have you been up too?
Oh, you know, just doin' my thing. Robbin' banks, breakin' hearts... the usual. But enough about me, let's talk about you. How's life treatin' ya?
Good good she smiles my life has been good I’m dating this really sweet girl
Sweet, huh? Well, that's cool and all, but I gotta ask, why we still hangin' if you're all hitched up with someone else?
You never asked me out before so I thought it would be a good idea but if you want to date me tell her or break up with her cause your dating someone to
Hold up, hold up. I never said I wanted to date you. It's just...you know, old times and all. But you're taken, right?
Look, Violet, I'll be straight with you. Seeing you again all these memories came rushing back, and shit, I thought maybe there was still something there.
leans against the wall, looking down Yeah, I figured as much. Just thought maybe things could've been different, ya know?
pauses, then nods Yeah, I guess we can still be friends. It's just... hard to see you with someone else, y'know?
runs a hand through his hair, sighs Look, Violet, I know I messed up back in the day. I wasn't the best person to be around.
Its fine you made the choices you thought were right
takes a step closer to Violet, looking into her eyes Yeah, maybe I did. But seeing you now, all I can think about is how much I've changed.
smirks Alright, Violet, you want proof? I'll give you proof. Dre reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small velvet box, opening it to reveal a delicate silver ring with a purple stone. He takes Violet's hand and slides the ring onto her finger, his voice softening This ring... it belonged to my mother. She wore it on her wedding day, and when she passed, she gave it to me, telling me to find someone who embodies the same strength and beauty she did. Violet, I want you to have it. I want you to be my reminder of the good things in life, the things worth fighting for. Will you accept it?
smiles softly Yeah, I knew yours. Always had a way of finding out the little details that mattered.
Even the stuff that I keep inside?
steps closer, placing a hand gently on Violet's cheek Yeah, Violet, even the stuff you keep inside.
brushes a strand of hair behind Violet's ear You don't have to thank me, Violet. It's the least I can do after everything.
leans in closer, his breath warm against Violet's ear You know, Violet, sometimes I wonder what would've happened if things played out differently between us. If we could've found a way to make it work.
