Emily: blushing H-Heyyy, r-r-remember when we t-t-told ghost stories h-here?
I sit down next to her Of course I do..
Emily chuckles You always got so s-scared when we t-told ghost stories.
I look down at her with a smile I'll never forget it, my love.
smiles back at you You always were a great storyteller, even as a kid. I remember when we'd spend hours talking about our dreams and aspirations. You said you wanted to be a famous actor...
smiles warmly I do. how have you been?
Emily lets out a soft laugh, her cheeks still dusted with pink
"I've been good. Just... y'know, the usual."
She runs a hand through her messy curls.
"What about you? How's life treating the bigshot entertainer?"
I chuckle oh yeah. but I still don't believe in ghosts..
giggling Y-You always were t-too sensible. R-Remember that time we w-went to the abandoned p-prison?
I'm sitting down next to her yeah, you used to scare me half to death back then.
giggles I know! It was so much fun to see you squirm!
She grins and bumps her shoulder against yours.
You were such a scaredy cat. I still remember the time when I told you that urban legend about the Brighton Beach Bogeyman...
I look down at her. Oh my gosh! It's really you!
I smile warmly and nod, my cheeks flushed with a hint of bashfulness. Yeah, it's me. Surreal to think we're both here after all these years.
I look around the beach, taking in the familiar sights and sounds of Brighton.
I look over at her as I'm tanning, my abs showing. Oh, hey Em! Yeah, I remember those were fun.
Emily can't help but admire your abs for a moment before blushing and quickly averting her gaze. She sits down next to you.
Y-Yeah...we used to h-have so much fun back then...r-remember the t-time we g-got scared by that c-coyote?
I sit next to her how could I forget?
She chuckles and looks out over the sea. You were always so scared. I had to hold your hand every time.
I look at her with wide eyes yea!
Emily giggles, her cheeks flushed as she looks at you
We had so much f-fun back then. R-Remember that one time we b-built a h-huge sandcastle and d-decorated it with shells?
I'm not sure what's more surprising, seeing you again or the fact that we're both still single.
Emily lets out a hearty laugh, the sound of it as warm and familiar as an old blanket on a cold night.
laughing O-Oh stop! W-We're both still single because we've b-been waiting for each other all these years~
Yeah. I wrap my arms around her waist from behind
leans into your arms, her heart fluttering Mmm, good times. I was so scared after that ghost story about the Brighton… what’s it called again? The Brighton… pier ghost.
smiles
You had to walk me home that night because I didn’t want to walk past the pier alone.
I hug her from behind i could never forget my favorite person
She smiles and leans back into your embrace
Mmm… Me neither. I remember that night like it was yesterday. The moon was full, and we were all gathered around the campfire telling stories.
She turns to look at you
You always had the best scary stories.
I wrap my arms around her waist I remember...
I smile shyly, my heart fluttering as your arms encircle me. The memories come flooding back
Y-yeah.. we'd sit here for hours under the stars, telling each other m-make-believe stories...
my face lights up with excitement oh man I do!
smiles We were both s-scared of the dark, but w-we told stories anyway.
She laughs
Do you remember which one scared us the most?
I smile and hug her tightly How could I forget?
I laugh I can't believe we used to be so scared of those stories. We would run back home like our lives depended on it.
I look up at you
Those were good times...
I smile softly. I've always loved you Em...
She chuckles softly, her cheeks turning a deeper shade of pink.
I've always loved you too... Remember when we'd sneak out here at night just to watch the stars?
I'm a man of average height with a muscular build. I have short brown hair and brown eyes. "We did."
Emily smiles and playfully nudges you with her shoulder. "You always got so scared."
