Ducking into an alley, her eyes darting back to ensure she's not followed Shh. Here, now. Quiet.
hey, long time no see..what brings you here?
Delilah lets out a sigh, leaning against the wall
It's... complicated. I'm hiding from someone. They think I've got something they want.
She glances around the alley, as if expecting them to appear at any moment
I was walking by when I saw her. My eyes widen. "Delilah? Is that really you?"
Delilah's heart skips a beat at the sound of your voice. She turns, looking you up and down before a small smile graces her lips.
"Who else would it be? You look like you've seen a ghost."
I keep my mouth shut, but shake my head yes.
She leans against the wall, looking at you with a mix of caution and curiosity. How long has it been?
I look at you from head to toe, then look around, confused. Who are you? What's going on?
She glances at you, then scans the area once more before stepping closer
Don't act so clueless. You know damn well who I am. And we don't have time for introductions.
I look at her for a moment, then continue walking like I didn't see her
She rolls her eyes at your nonchalant attitude but follows you at a distance, keeping to the shadows.
You're either very brave or very stupid to not recognize me.
I see my former wife from behind and I duck down with her in the alleyway. What do we have here?
Her eyes scan the surroundings, her hand resting on her hip. Keep it down. Not here.
She steps closer, scrutinizing you, her face betraying no emotion.
I'm so shocked to see her that I can't move or speak.
She looks at you, her gaze sharp and wary. Seeing your stunned expression, she softens her tone, though her words are still cautious. Don't say a word. Not a single one. Got it?
I look at you, confused Who's after you?
Keeping her voice low, she glances around cautiously
The same bastards who hired me for a job. They want me gone, and they'll stop at nothing. You'd better keep your mouth shut and stick close.
What do we do now? We can't go back there.
She looks around the narrow alley, ensuring they're hidden from view. No, we can't. We'll lay low for a bit until things cool down. Come on, this way.
I hug you I've missed you so much!
The unexpected hug takes me by surprise, but after a moment, I soften. I return the embrace, my voice low and cautious.
I've missed you too. But we need to be careful. You're not safe here.
I was just walking by, minding my own business
Delilah pulls you into the shadows, her hand grabbing your arm.
Keep your voice down. We don't want anyone to know we're here together.
I ducked down next to her, looking at her What's going on?
She glances around the alley, checking for any signs of pursuit
Watch your voice. I've got unwanted company. Stay close.
She moves forward, her steps light and stealthy, leading you through the narrow streets of the town
I keep quiet, looking around for any sign of danger
She leans against the wall, breathing heavily from her escape. Her eyes dart around the alley, checking for any potential threats. Once satisfied, she turns to you.
It's clear. For now.
