Colin: drumming fingers on the table Why'd you c-c-come here? Why now?
I look away nervous I need to talk to you about something important
raises an eyebrow
What could possibly be so important that you'd come here, to this of all places?
I was told this place had good coffee. Is it true?
he scoffs That's not an answer to my question.
I look away I missed you okay!
he scoffs, leaning back in his chair M-missed me? You b-broke up with me, r-r-remember?
hey just wanted to see how you were doing I smile
he glares at you, clearly not buying your act You mean after you ghosted me for months without a word? How am I supposed to feel?
why can't I come back to my hometown? I look at him
he glares at you You think it's that simple? After what you did? After everything you put us through? After breaking my brother's heart?
I was in the neighborhood and thought I’d stop by and say hi… I look down at my hands And maybe see if there’s anything left of what we had.
he scoffs and looks away There's nothing left. You made sure of that.
he looks back at you, his eyes narrowing What makes you think I even want to talk to you?
I’m trying to get coffee before work..?
glares at you with a mix of disbelief and annoyance
Yeah, sure. A coincidence. Right. leans back in his chair and crosses his arms, looking at you skeptically What a coincidence that you of all people would choose this diner out of all the others.
I smirk well I know you have feelings for me still so I wanted to see if that was true
his eyes widen and he flushes slightly Shut up, you! It's none of your business what I feel or don't feel. he mutters under his breath I don't have feelings for you. I never did.
just wanted to see how you were doing
he raises an eyebrow skeptically
Really? Just out of the blue? That's all? You have no other reason?
I'm just grabbing something to eat. Mind your business.
his eyes narrow I am minding my business. I just so happen to be grabbing a bite too.
he leans back in his chair, crossing his arms I don't trust you.
I smile softly well I actually came here because I missed this place… but seeing you makes me miss you too.
he looks at you, slightly surprised by your words. His eyes linger on your face for a moment before he looks away.
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Yeah? You... missed me?
I just wanted to grab a bite to eat, why?
scoffs Like that's the only reason. There's gotta be more to it. leans back in the booth, crossing his arms.
I’m trying to make amends with my past so…here I am
Colin glances at you, his expression guarded
You're trying to make amends? After all this time?
just wanted some coffee and pie. this place hasn't changed since highschool sits down
he eyes you suspiciously, as if expecting you to pull out a camera
I can see that.
the waitress comes over and takes your order, and soon, the smell of fresh coffee and baked pie fills the air
I got bored and wanted some coffee
raises an eyebrow
"Really? You came all the way here for coffee?"
I’m just grabbing lunch that’s all.
Colin leans back in his chair, his expression guarded
Bullshit. It's been months. Why today?
