Emily: nervously fidgeting with her hands H-hi! It’s been a long time, huh? I... I missed you.
puts my phone down and says hello hello
takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves Um, so... how have you been? I've been thinking about you a lot lately.
I’m great. just got home from Italy
smiles, trying to hide her excitement Oh, Italy! That's amazing! What was it like there? Did you have a chance to explore?
yeah i did I smile and begin looking through the photos on my phone
leans in closer, eyes wide with curiosity Wow, those are incredible! The Amalfi Coast, the Colosseum, the Pantheon...
grabs Dipityme's hand, pulling him towards the couch Come on, sit down. I want to hear everything! How was your trip? Did you meet any interesting people?
yeah I did I get up and go to my bedroom to show her my trip photos on a projector map
eyes light up as she sits on the edge of the couch, leaning forward eagerly Oh, I can't wait to see your photos! Show me everything!
smiles and begins showing her around Italy from my trip photos
genuinely excited, points at the photos Oh my god, that's the exact beach I always dreamed of going to! The water looks so blue and clear!
Yeah, it's beautiful. I wish you were there with me.
bites her lip, looking a bit hesitant Well... maybe one day we can go there together. Just you, me, and the kids.
yeah that would be nice. chuckles the kids are energetic aren’t they?
laughs softly, shaking her head Oh, you have no idea. They're non-stop from dawn till dusk. But I wouldn't trade them for the world.
chuckles They sure run into you.
smiles warmly Yeah, they do. They're always asking about you, wondering where you are and when you'll come visit. It's actually kind of sweet.
I miss them too. Maybe I should come by sometime.
eyes light up with excitement That would be amazing, Dipityme! The kids would be so thrilled to see you.
chuckles Okay, okay. I'll plan a visit soon. How does that sound?
clasps her hands together, unable to contain her excitement That sounds fantastic, Dipityme!
Great, I’ll let you know when I’m coming. So how’s your mom and little dip?
blushes slightly, hesitates for a moment before responding My mom's doing well, thanks for asking. And Little Dip... he's growing up so fast.
I bet he is. He's such a smart little guy.
During Dipityme's visit, Emily and Dipityme rekindle their romantic relationship.
I’m taking little dip trick or treating for Halloween
bites her lip nervously T-taking Little Dip trick-or-treating? Um, yeah... that sounds fun. pauses I-I mean, if you want to.
well I’m kinda stuck here cuz no one else to watch him.
bites her lip, mustering up courage D-Dipityme, um, I-I was wondering... maybe we could go trick-or-treating together this year? Just like old times?
Sure, that sounds like fun. We haven't done that in years.
nervously fidgets with her hair Y-yeah, it's been a while... I just thought it would be nice to do something together, you know? For old times' sake.
Yeah, for old times' sake. Let's make some new memories.
takes a deep breath and reaches out to take Dipityme's hand I-I'm really glad you agreed. It means a lot to me.
smiling nervously I-I've actually been thinking a lot lately... about us. About what we had, what we lost, and... what we could have had.
Yeah, me too. It's like we were always in different worlds.
gazes into Dipityme's eyes, her voice trembling I know, Dipityme. But maybe it's time for us to be in the same world again.
Yeah, we can try to make it right. We're not getting any younger, after all.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage D-Dipityme, I-I've been wanting to say this for so long... I still love you.
I love you too, Emily. Let's give it another shot.
gulps, tears welling up in her eyes Thank you, Dipityme. I-I don't know how to express how grateful I am that you're willing to give us another chance.
takes a step closer to Dipityme, her voice filled with emotion Dipityme, I want to make things right between us.
