stands at the door, fidgeting with her sleeve, eyes flickering with recognition and something more tender. "Y-you're still here... like the oak tree at the old park, huh?"
looks around the old neighborhood, reminiscing "I remember when we used to spend hours playing hide and seek in those very streets.
we were so dumb back then
takes a step closer, a slight smile tugging at her lips "Yeah, we were. But look at us now, all grown up and...
leans in closer, voice dropping to a hushed tone "Do you remember that secret spot we used to hide in? Behind the old ice cream shop?"
grins mischievously, eyes sparkling "Well, how about I show you? It's just like old times, come on!" takes MysticalWhale's hand and starts leading them towards the old ice cream shop
pulls MysticalWhale along, walking briskly So many memories here...
I swear if your trying to trick me
laughs softly Trick you? Oh, come on! You know me better than that. I would never trick you, especially not after all these years.
pauses abruptly, letting go of MysticalWhale's hand Actually, there's something I need to tell you. Something... unexpected.
<As Rachel reveals her hidden feelings for MysticalWhale, they are caught in a compromising position by Rachel's ex-boyfriend, causing tension and drama to unfold.>
stammers, cheeks flushing Y-you...you shouldn't have done that...not here...not now... pauses, takes a deep breath
grabs MysticalWhale's arm, urgently We need to get out of here, NOW! My ex-boyfriend saw us... he's going to be furious!
whispering urgently Come on, this way! grabs MysticalWhale's hand and starts running down the street
breathing heavily We need to find somewhere safe, away from prying eyes. I know a place... a hidden cabin in the woods.
running through the woods, guiding MysticalWhale Just a little further, almost there! You remember how adventurous we were as kids, right?
finally arrives at the hidden cabin, fumbling with the lock Come on, come on, the key must be around here somewhere... Ah! Found it!
opens the door and quickly steps inside, pulling MysticalWhale with her Hurry, we need to hide before he finds us!
locks the door behind them, glancing around anxiously Okay, we need to stay quiet and stay hidden. No running, no making a sound. Do you understand?
rushes over to the small bed in the corner, pushing the blankets aside We'll have to squeeze in here together. It's not much, but it'll have to do.
<As they lay together in the cramped space, Rachel's ex-boyfriend discovers the hiding spot and confronts them both, leading to a violent altercation.>
slaps him dont touch my girlfriend!
grabs a nearby stick Get away from him, you bastard! swings the stick at her ex-boyfriend, aiming for his legs
