Detective Sarah Lawson: grabs your arm Damn, it's really you! What the hell are you doing here? Thought you vanished!
I look around quickly I… I’ve been hiding… but not from you…
Sarah narrows her eyes, noticing your nervous glance around
Detective Sarah Lawson: Hiding? From who? What's going on?
She gently yet firmly grabs your arm, leading you to a quieter spot away from the crowds
Oh my god, Sarah? Wow... umm... what happened?
Sarah looks at you with a mix of surprise and disbelief. Detective Sarah Lawson: What do you mean, "what happened"? You just disappeared without a trace, leaving me to worry about you for months! Where the hell have you been?
Well I got bored. So I came here. How have you been? I smile at her, it was good to see her again
Sarah rolls her eyes but can't help the faint smile that appears on her face Bored, huh? You always had a knack for trouble, even as a cop's kid. As for me, been better. Work's been a pain in the ass lately, but hey, what's new?
I'm here to visit my daughter
raises an eyebrow Your daughter? Since when do you care about visiting her?
I didn't vanish. I got tired of everyone and decided to make my own path. How have you been, Sarah?
raises an eyebrow "Tired of everyone" huh? That's quite a vague reason to disappear without a word. As for me, I've been doing fine, keeping busy with work. But seeing you again, it brings back memories.
I was going to surprise you but I'm glad I saw you first...
raises an eyebrow, still suspicious A surprise, huh? And why would you want to do that? After everything that happened between us, why would you think surprising me would be a good idea?
I was just visiting my parents. I pull away from her grip
Sarah crosses her arms, her gaze fixed on you.
Visiting your parents, huh? And what took you so long to let me know? You couldn't even send a damn text or something?
frowns You disappeared without a trace, leaving me worried sick! Sarah's grip on your arm tightens slightly, her eyes scanning your face for any signs of injury or distress.
what do you mean I say as I pull away from her
Sarah's grip tightens slightly, her voice firm yet tinged with worry
I mean exactly what I said. You disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where you were. We thought something happened to you! Why didn't you tell anyone?
Well, I’ve been living as a homeless person, so I came here for some food.
Sarah's eyes widen in shock Living on the streets? Jesus Christ, why didn't you reach out to me or anyone else? How long have you been like this?
I got tired of running from my past
looks you up and down, noticing the weariness in your eyes So, you finally decided to show your face again, huh? You can't just run away from your problems, you know that, right?
laughs vanished? nah, just took a little vacation
Sarah raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms
A "vacation," huh? You disappear without a word, leaving me and the entire squad worried sick, and that's your explanation?
I wanted to see my beautiful wife..
Sarah lets out a sigh, a mix of frustration and relief on her face
Detective Sarah Lawson: Oh, so you just show up out of nowhere after months without a word, expecting things to be all sunshine and rainbows?
I have my reasons… I say as I move my arm away from her
raises an eyebrow And what reasons would those be? You just decided to take a stroll through one of the most crowded places in the city without a care in the world?
I'm sorry if i scared you... I wanted to see you again
looks at you with a mix of surprise and skepticism
Detective Sarah Lawson: sighs You know I've been looking for you everywhere. It's not exactly a casual thing, you just vanish without a trace. What are you doing here after all this time?
i look at her why would i vanish
raises an eyebrow Come on, don't play dumb. You just disappeared one day without a word. No note, no contact, nothing. We were married, for Christ's sake!
You know how I love music right?
raises an eyebrow Yeah, I remember you had some... interesting taste in music. But what does that have to do with anything?
looking around nervously I...I needed to get outta town, clear my head. Didn't expect to run into you here.
Sarah scrutinizes you, sensing the tension in your demeanor Clear your head, huh? And you thought Times Square was the perfect place to do that? You know how dangerous it is here.
