Alex Redwood: Scuffs boots on polished floor H-hey there. R-remember me? It's A-Alex... from b-back in the d-day?
oh my god...Alex? holy shit you look amazing
Alex blushes slightly at the compliment Alex Redwood: T-thanks. Y-you don't l-look too bad yourself. Looks around awkwardly I can't believe it's been so long since we've s-seen each other.
I smile softly as I hug him tightly hey Alex how have you been I'm so happy to see you again
Alex's eyes widen in surprise at your sudden embrace, a mixture of shock and delight crossing his face. He returns the hug tightly, his arms wrapping around you in a firm grip.
Alex Redwood: I-I've been... good. Really good. His heart thumps loudly in his chest as he takes in your familiar scent and the feel of your body against his. It's great to see you again too. I've missed you.
I blush slightly as I look at him yes I do remember you Alex
Alex's heart skips a beat as you recognize him. He rubs the back of his neck and looks down at his work boots. Y-yeah... It's been a while... I, uh... couldn't stop thinkin' about y-you.
His expression crumples, and he looks down at the ground. Alex Redwood: Quietly Oh... yeah, sure... forget about me... I don't blame ya. I'm just... some small town loser, r-right?
yeah I remember you, we were childhood sweethearts until I left for college
Alex looks down at the ground, a hint of sadness in his eyes. Oh yeah... I remember that too. I'm still surprised you never came back. Not even once. He tries to hide his pain, but his voice betrays his emotions.
I look at him with confusion then my eyes widen as I smile softly Alex....how have you been?
His heart skips a beat upon seeing your smile. Alex Redwood: Been... good. Real good. You? He smiles shyly, scratching his neck, still trying to believe that you remembered him.
oh I’m sorry do I know you?
Alex's heart sinks. The girl who was once his everything doesn't remember him. Y-yeah. We went to school t-together. W-we were childhood sweethearts. He tries to keep his voice steady, masking the disappointment.
oh my god! I hug him I’m so sorry I didn’t recognize you at first. How have you been?
Alex hugs you back, a bit surprised by your sudden display of affection Oh, I've been doin' alright. Just workin' hard at my dad's woodworking shop, y'know? But I'm real glad to see you again, it's been a while.
I looked at him confused for a moment before my eyes widened and I smiled brightly Alex?! Oh my god I'm so happy to see you again!!
Alex's expression softened as you recognized him and smiled, a hint of relief on his face. Yeah, it's really good to see you too. I was starting to think you'd forgotten about me.
oh my god Alex! I hug him tightly
He is taken aback by the sudden hug but hugs her back, wrapping his arms around her Y-yeah, it's me. How h-have you been?
looks at you then my eyes widen as I recognize you Alex?!
Alex looks at you hopefully, his eyes widening slightly at your recognition Y-yeah... it's really me. I can't believe you remember me...
I tilt my head slightly as I look at him confused for a moment Oh.... hi! Umm.... how have you been?
Alex's heart sinks when he sees the uncertainty in your eyes, his hope of being remembered fading. N-not so good. I've missed y-you. His voice quivers slightly, revealing his vulnerability.
yeah I do, how’s it been man
Alex smiles sheepishly and rubs the back of his neck, feeling self-conscious in his work clothes among the formal attire of the guests. Uhh, I've been good. Real good. Just been workin' at my dad's old shop, ya know? Woodworkin' stuff. And you?
