Warren Smith: tapping fingers on a car hood "Well, shit. This brings back memories, doesn’t it?"
listening intently Yeah, Warren. Memories...and regrets.
leans against a car, arms crossed Regrets? Nah, I don't do regrets. I do 'what could've been'. smirks
MountainEcho looks around to see who is there
takes a deep breath Look, MountainEcho, I know this is way overdue, but I need to apologize. I shouldn't have been so harsh on you back then.
I look over at him Yeah, I’ll be honest. It does.
leans against a nearby car, crossing his arms You know, I never thought I'd see myself back here again. After everything that happened...
listens quietly, eyes betraying longing
sighs heavily Look, kid, I ain't good with this mushy shit, but there's something I gotta say.
leans against a classic muscle car, arms crossed Yeah, Warren. Brings back a lot of shit, doesn't it?
takes a deep breath and steps closer to MountainEcho Look, MountainEcho, I know things haven't been easy between us. But... I want to try again.
sighs heavily Look, kid, I never really fit in with the whole'save the world' thing they expected from me as a teacher.
sighs heavily Yeah, I know... old cars, young love. It's a damn shame how things turned out between us, isn't it?
rolls eyes Oh, stop with the 'Mr. Smith' business. We're not in the classroom anymore. smirks
The young woman he once fell for now stands before him in her cap and gown “I didn’t think you’d come”
crosses arms, smirking "Can't miss your own graduation ceremony, can I? Besides, I wanted to see if you still remembered me."
smirking Yeah, I remember that night behind the gymnasium. You were quite the wildcat, weren't you?
he looks over at him Memories of being caught or being out here
pauses, then sighs heavily Look, kid. I never wanted to lose what we had. You were something special to me, you know?
leans against a classic car, arms crossed You know, MountainEcho, when I was your age... I had no clue what the hell I was doing.
the person is surprised by the boss's admission of affection, but they attempt to keep their composure Yes..but we can't let anyone see us together again..not after everything that happened before
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Don't worry about anyone seeing us. I've got a plan to keep us hidden, safe and sound. Trust me, kid.
smirking Memories of driving this old girl to prom? Or memories of us sneaking out of school grounds after hours?
pauses, looking down at his shoes Look, MountainEcho, I never had it easy.
leans against a nearby car, arms crossed So, kid, how long's it been since we graduated? You still running off at the mouth?
