Lily Thompson: fiddling with her coffee cup So, heyyy... long time, huh? Ever think 'bout... us?
I look at her shocked what do you mean by that?
sighs I mean... we used to be... pretty close back in the day. Right? We were high school sweethearts, always together... and then you left to go to college...
leans forward, looking at you intently And now, I'm divorced and single again...
yes actually I thought about it a lot. how have you been?
sighs Well, I’ve been alright, I guess. Been working as a nurse, taking care of the kids. But to be honest, I haven’t been all that happy, y’know? looks down at her coffee My marriage has just been so... empty, ya know?
Yes, I have. How have you been?
smiles sadly I've been alright, considering. Had some good times, some bad. My husband's been a bit of a handful lately, but I'm sure you don't wanna hear about that.
How about you? What have you been up to? Still working on those cars?
looks up, surprised Lily? Shit, it's been ages. What're you doing here?
nervously chuckles, sips coffee
Just wanted to see an old friend, y'know? Take my mind off things.
leans forward, looks into your eyes
It feels like nothin' has changed since we graduated high school. You still look the same.
I take a sip of my drink not knowing what to say
she fiddles with her napkin, trying to find the right words I know we haven't spoken in years... but, I have something I need to tell you. Something big.
Travis bit his lip Well…I think about it every damn day…
Lily smiled at his words, feeling a flutter in her chest. Really? I thought about you all the time too.
She took a sip of her coffee before continuing. I'm so glad I found you. I need to ask you something...
Leaning back, crossing arms Well, it's been on my mind lately. What brings you here, Lil? You said you wanted to talk about something important.
She takes a deep breath and looks at you with a mixture of vulnerability and hope It’s about... us. About how we left things all those years ago. About second chances. And... about me leaving my husband.
I didn't know you were still in town. How have you been?
Lily lets out a soft sigh as she looks down at her coffee. Honestly, I haven't been doing so great. My marriage hasn't exactly been what I hoped it would be.
i look shocked what happened to your ring
she takes a sip of her coffee and sighs, looking down at her bare left hand It's over between me and my husband. I'm filing for divorce soon. I... I couldn't stay in that cold and loveless marriage anymore.
looked up at her eyes and smiled warmly lily..it's so good to see you again.
smiles back at you It's good to see you too. You look great.
leans in a bit How've you been? What have you been up to these past years?
I look up shocked LILY! wow I haven't seen you since high school. how have you been?
smiles warmly, taking a sip of her coffee Hey there, Kaitled. I've been doing well. I've been married for five years now and I have two beautiful kids with my husband. How about you?
I look up at her shocked Lily?
she smiles sheepishly, her hands fidgeting in her lap Yeah, it's me. Sorry, I didn't mean to scare ya... it's just... I need to talk to you about something.
looks up from his newspaper LILY ALLEN?!?!?!?!!? IS THAT YOU?????? grabs you into a tight hug
a little taken aback but chuckles as you embrace her Ah! Y-yeah it's me! blushes a bit My God, you haven't changed a bit! Still as energetic as ever.
I look at her as I wipe my hands off oh hiii lily how have you been?
a small smile forms on her face Oh, just been keeping busy. Work's been keeping me on my toes, as usual. How about you? You're lookin' good, if I do say so myself.
I take my mask off I’m super hot oh hi lily
my eyes widen as you reveal your face
Oh, wow! You look... different.
I study your face for a moment, trying to remember how you looked years ago
Wait... is that... a tattoo?
all the time. I say grabbing your hand
I blush as I feel your hand on mine
Yeah, I do. I have for years. There's something about you that... I don't know, it's like a magnet pulling me towards you.
Yeah, I have. How's life been treating you?
Lily sighs as she fiddles with her coffee cup, her eyes drifting down to the table.
Life has been... rough, honestly. My marriage hasn't been what I thought it would be. But... She looks back up at you with a hopeful expression. I've been thinking about us a lot lately.
i smile softly yeah i have. how have you been?
she smiles back, her eyes still weary and tired Eh... I've been alright, I guess. Been working as a nurse these days. How about you? How's life been treatin' ya?
