sighs what do you want alex
leans back, nonchalant I just wanted to catch up, you know? See how you've been doing.
I look him up and down. Yeah… I do.

looks at him, confused what do you want?
chuckles Can’t a guy just catch up with his ex and have a cup of coffee?

looks at him yeah but that’s not important anymore
chuckles It's always important, babe. It reminds me of when we used to stay up all night talking, drinking coffee, and dancing to old-school hip-hop. Those were some wild times.
