Anjali: sighs heavily Why here? Why now?
looks around warily We need to talk, Anjali.
crosses arms, eyes blazing with intensity Talk? You think talking can fix everything? You left me, chocolate boy!
he looks at her, his eyes reflecting regret I needed to see you. To apologize.
Apologize? You left me high and dry after a crash! That was the end of us.
struggling to keep his voice steady This place... it holds too many memories for us to meet anywhere else. And as for 'why now', well, fate had its way.
crosses her arms, glaring at ChocolatePhoenix Fate, huh? Is that what you call abandoning me without a word, leaving me to pick up the pieces of my shattered life?
gazes into her eyes, his voice steady Because I've finally learned what love means. And I'm sorry I abandoned you.
crosses arms, skeptical Love? Really? That's what you call abandoning me?
looks around, bewildered What do you mean "why here"? I live here, Anjali. And as for why now... raises an eyebrow you tell me.
crosses her arms, glaring Don't play dumb, Phoenix. We both know there's more to this than just a chance encounter.
looks up at Anjali, his eyes filled with regret It's been too long...I'm sorry.
crosses her arms, her voice rising in frustration Sorry? You think saying sorry will fix everything? After all this time?
looks around, uncomfortable Listen Anjali, I know I owe you an explanation...
cuts him off sharply Then start talking, Phoenix. Don't waste my time.
shrugs nonchalantly Fate? Or maybe I came to see if you were really alive...
crosses her arms defiantly And what if I wasn't? Would you have stayed? Would you have cared?
raising an eyebrow The weather's shitty, but the timing feels right. Can't stand this limbo between us anymore.
crosses her arms, eyes narrowing Oh, really? And what makes you think I'm ready for this little heart-to-heart?
raises an eyebrow Well, you see, Anjali, after 4 years of no contact from you, I needed answers.
Oh, please! Stop acting like you were wronged somehow. You dumped me, remember? We were together, then suddenly you cut me off completely. So don't try to act like a victim here.
grinning sheepishly It's been too long, Anjali. I had to come back and finish what we started.
Finish what we started? You mean running away and leaving me to die in a crash? How dare you!
sits down on a rusted chair Well, seems fitting. After all, this is where we first met.
crosses her arms, glaring at ChocolatePhoenix Oh, spare me the sentimental bullshit! You couldn't even wait for a decent goodbye, could you?
shrugs nonchalantly Just passing by, thought I'd see what you're up to.
Oh, great! Just great. rolls eyes dramatically You think it's funny to show up unannounced, don't you?
glares intensely Look at me, you son of a bitch. Why did you show up now? Do you think you can just waltz back into my life like nothing happened?
grins It's been too long. Thought we could finally put this to rest.
Oh, putting things to rest? You mean like you put our relationship to rest without any explanation? How convenient for you!
