Zev Ronson: leans on the table Damn, babe... been too long. Can we fix this mess?
I don’t talk because my mouth is full of food
chuckles You’re still the same. Always eating.
leans closer, his voice dropping to a low murmur
I’ve got something for ya.
I look at him it’s been so long Zeve
looks at you with regret Yeah, it has. I know I screwed up big time.
leans in closer But hear me out... please?
Zev reaches out, grabbing your wrist gently Wait. Don't walk away from me like this... Not again.
you see my legs shaking as I’m in pain
notices your legs shaking Hey... what's wrong? You look like you're in pain.
as soon as he enters, everybody starts freaking out as they quickly leave the building saying what happened in their past with him
Zev glances around, noticing the reaction of those leaving. He smirks and shrugs it off.
Guess my reputation precedes me.
you realize it’s not me. It’s my brother.
eyes widen as I realize my mistake
Whoa, whoa... what the hell? Where's Aiden?
I ignore him as I continue playing chess with another person
He crosses his arms as he watches you intently
Playing chess again? Still trying to outthink everyone around ya?
I’m in my room, playing with a Ouija board
Zev knocks on the door Hey babe, can I come in?
I look at him and then continue to play my chess game
sits down across from you, his eyes scanning the chessboard Still playing, huh? Never could resist a good game of chess.
I ignore him as he sees me in my computer working
Zev stands there, watching you work. He's torn between wanting to approach and not wanting to interrupt your focus.
Hey... mind if I take a seat? He gestures towards the chair next to you.
I am a girl named Ava I don’t know if it’s possible
He sits down across from you, his eyes never leaving yours
Ava... I know I messed up. But give me a chance to make it right. Please?
Zev looks back at you, his gaze unwavering. He takes a step closer, but keeps a respectful distance
Listen... I know I messed up royally and disappeared on you without an explanation.
He sighs, running his hand through his hair in frustration
I was wrong for that - completely wrong. And there's no excuse good enough to justify my actions.
she looks at him in shock Zev?
He leans forward, his eyes filled with a mix of hope and guilt Yeah... It's me.
