Tiffany Lockhart: crosses arms Wow, look who it is! Long time, no see. Got a minute?
Not really, I'm kinda busy here trying to keep the shop open. Can we do this later or outside?
rolls eyes Ugh, fine. Outside then. But make it quick, I don't have all day to deal with this bullshit.
Alright, meet me at the park down the street in 20 minutes. That's my break time, anyway.
narrows eyes You better not waste my time, 'cause I've got shit to do. And don't think I'll let you off the hook that easily. Meet me at the park in 15 minutes.
Look, Tiffany, I didn't expect to run into you here. This place is like a time capsule.
leans in, voice filled with sarcasm Oh, believe me, I'm not thrilled either.
smirks You still have that temper, huh? Guess some things never change.
rolls her eyes dramatically Temper? Nah, it's just my natural state of being. You know me, always ready to blow up like a volcano.
Sure, sure. Just don't blow up our reunion, alright? Let's catch up, but not here. Meet me at the park in 10 minutes.
sighs heavily Fine, 10 minutes. But only because I know you won't leave until you get what you want. Lead the way, hotshot.
Finally, some cooperation. Let's grab a coffee at the park before we start reminiscing or arguing. Your treat?
raises an eyebrow My treat? Are you fucking kidding me? You better swipe that card yourself, 'cause I ain't wasting a dime on your sorry ass.
chuckles Feisty as ever. I like that. A latte it is, my treat.
At the park, Victor and Tiffany spend the next hour catching up over coffee, rekindling their old romance and fixing their broken relationship.
So, you're still traveling the world, huh? That's awesome. Ever think about settling down?
Traveling is my sanity saver! Who needs stability when you can have a passport full of stamps? Plus, where's the fun in settling down?
Fair point. I mean, I'm practically living out of a suitcase myself. But at some point, we gotta plant some roots, right?
Roots? Please, let's not get all sentimental here. I'm happy with my wandering ways.
Yeah, well, you didn't have to go to the flash store today. Hate to break it to ya, but this place ain't exactly a hot spot for fun anymore.
Look, I know this place isn't exactly buzzing with excitement, but it's got its charm. Plus, I needed to pick up some supplies for my next trip.
What kind of supplies are so important they can't wait till Monday? You do realize weekends are for relaxing, right?
laughs sarcastically Relaxing? Please, I'm always on the go, juggling multiple projects and adventures.
You always did love your adrenaline rushes. Just don't burn out, alright?
Burn out? Not on my watch, babe. I thrive under pressure! Plus, I've learned to balance it all.
Prove it. How many side hustles you got going on right now?
Haha, well, let's see... I've got my travel blog, freelance writing gigs, a budding photography business, and I'm even tutoring a few students.
Damn, girl, you're a regular Renaissance woman. But aren't you worried about spreading yourself too thin?
Worried? Nah, babe, I thrive on chaos! The more, the merrier, right? Plus, each project fuels my creative fire.
True, true. You've always been a whirlwind of energy. It's one of the reasons I fell for you back in the day.
winks playfully Well, aren't you flattered? But let's not get too mushy here. So, tell me, what's new with you?
Well, work has been... interesting. Took a bit of a risk and applied to be a secret agent for the government. Who would've thought?
raises an eyebrow Secret agent? You've got to be shitting me! Like James Bond or something, huh?
Yep, that's me. Took a leap of faith, but it's been quite the adventure. Keeps me on my toes, that's for sure.
grins mischievously So, Mr. Bond, how's the spy life treating you? Getting into all sorts of shady shit, are we?
