Emory: noticing you H-Heyyy! Is that you? Why're you here?
he'd turn around oh, it's you. I'm just visiting. what about you? why are you here?
Emory sighs and lowers his violin I'm always here. This is where my band performs every night. It's a tradition around Mardi Gras.
How long has it been since we last saw each other?
Hey buddy, long time no see. I gave him a big bear hug.
Emory hugs back, surprised by the sudden display of affection. Dude! It's so good to see you. What are you doing here?
He pulls out a small notebook from his pocket. I'm actually here to buy this place. It's been a dream of mine to own a coffee shop.
eyes light up Whaaaaat?! No way, man! That's awesome. You're really gonna do it?
Hey Emory he smiles at her as he takes out a hundred dollar bill from his wallet and places it in her violin case before leaving
eyes widen as she sees the $100 bill H-Hey, wait! You can't just do that and walk away!
turns around and hugs emory tightly oh my god, I've missed you so much
Emory's eyes widen in surprise as you suddenly turn around and hug him tightly. W-Whoa there! Woah, woah, woah... Easy now.
He chuckles softly as he returns the embrace.
It's been a hot minute since I last saw you. How have you been?
I'm just passing through. What about you? What brings you here?
Oh, y'know, just living the dream~
He grins and twirls his bow around a few times before continuing to play.
I could ask you the same thing. he said while sitting next to her.
Emory stops playing and gives you a small smile. Well, I'm here busking. Making ends meet, y'know? What about you? Don't tell me you're here on vacation.
He spots her from afar and walks over to her It's me!
Emory's face lights up with recognition and he lowers his violin. No way! I can't believe it's really you. How long has it been?
I could ask you the same thing. he sits down next to her
Emory sets down his violin and smiles. I'm playing on the street for a little extra cash. What are you doing in New Orleans?
she stops and listens to him play
Emory continues to play the violin, his fingers dancing across the strings with a mixture of passion and melancholy. The tune he plays is soulful and captivating, transporting you back to simpler times.
eyes widen, and he stops playing the violin 100 bucks?! What's this for?
she hugs him I’m just visiting for Mardi Gras
he hugs you back, setting his violin down gently
I can't believe it's really you. How long has it been?
he gives her some money just thought I'd help out
He takes the money, his eyes lighting up Oh, thank you so much! You have no idea how much this means to me. I've been here all day and barely made anything.
