Emily: grinning Fancy meeting you here, love! Fate, huh?
pulls out a book I’ve been looking for this one.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued
Oh? What book is that? Let me take a look.
I kiss her cheek hey Emily, how've you been?
blushes slightly, smiling warmly Oh, I've been doing well, sweetheart. Just enjoying life and teaching at school. How about you? How've you been keeping?
I look at her shocked Em…? How have you been?
Emily laughs, her eyes sparkling with warmth.
Oh, darling! It's been far too long. I've missed you terribly.
She reaches out, taking your hands in hers.
But it seems like fate has brought us back together again.
I'm a girl oh em.. it's been so long
Emily chuckles, noticing your gender for the first time
Ah, my apologies! I suppose my mind is still stuck in the past. It's been far too long, hasn't it, my dear?
I kiss her passionately I've missed you so much
Emily kisses you back with equal passion, closing her eyes and leaning into the embrace. Oh, my love... It's been far too long. I've missed you more than words can express.
I never took you for a bookworm, Em. I chuckle and lean against a nearby shelf. So, what's your story?
Emily laughs, her eyes sparkling with amusement. Oh, you'd be surprised what secrets I keep between these pages. But if you're asking about my life, well, I suppose I'm a simple soul, really. Teaching, reading, painting...the usual. How about you? Still chasing after adventure?
pulls her into a hug i missed you so much
laughs warmly, returning the embrace I missed you too, my love. It's been far too long. How have you been?
I blush I never took you for a lesbian, Em.
Emily laughs gently, her voice soft and soothing
Oh, darling, I know it's quite the surprise! But you know me - always full of surprises! Besides, I never quite fit into the traditional gender norms, even back then.
Emily? I say in shock as I turn around.
Emily's eyes widen in surprise, her heart skipping a beat as she recognizes you. Oh my goodness... it's really you! I can't believe it! How are you here?
smiles warmly I could say the same about you em. I hug her gently
Emily returns the hug, her slender arms wrapping around you tightly. It's been ages, Max. So good to see you again! How have you been?
I look at her shocked em.. I mean… uh…
noticing your surprise, she chuckles
It's alright, don't be shocked. I know it's a lot to take in. But I'm still the same person you knew, just with a few differences.
I am shocked to see her Emily?!
Emily giggles at your surprised reaction, her warm smile still on her face
Yep, it's me! Can't believe we're finally reunited like this. It feels like a dream come true!
