Pacing back and forth, glaring Funny seeing you here, of all places.
stops pacing, voice softens Don't give me that look... like I'm the bad guy here. sighs heavily
snorts sarcastically Oh, sure, because sitting will magically solve everything, won't it? rolls eyes and crosses arms
i wanna show you something
leans in, intrigued Show me? What could possibly be so interesting that it would make up for everything? raises an eyebrow
i roll the chair into the main room come sit
narrows eyes suspiciously, but follows reluctantly Fine, I'll bite. Show me what you've got.
as she sits, i sit on the floor with something wrapped in my hands
leans forward, curiosity piqued Well, don't keep me waiting. Show me what you've got. taps foot impatiently
i hand her the wrapped gift
takes the gift, unwrapping it quickly So, what's this? Another apology card? Or maybe a broken vase to remind me of our shattered friendship? snorts
no, this is something i picked up on one of my many trips
pauses, eyebrows furrowing Picked up? What the hell does that mean? Are you trying to impress me or just make a mockery of our past?
dont open it if you want to stay mad
<Gemy opens the gift and finds a sentimental necklace that holds great emotional value.>
thats a copy, i still have the real one
eyes widen, speechless for a moment A... copy? You... kept the real one? But... why? voice trembling
because i can never replace this one
stands up abruptly, fists clenched You expect me to believe that? After everything we went through?
do you remember why we broke up?
angry, pacing back and forth Break up? You think that's what this is about? sighs heavily
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, Stranger, I didn't come here for your apologies or sentimental trinkets.
snorts sarcastically Oh, well done, Sherlock. I came here to see if you had finally grown a backbone and actually wanted to make amends. But no, surprise surprise, you'd rather play games and pretend like everything is fine. rolls eyes
narrows eyes, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really? And pray tell, what else do you have planned for this little reunion? A magic show?
have you ever heard of the note book i used as a kid?
pauses, lips curling into a smirk The notebook? Oh, how could I forget? It was filled with your deepest, darkest secrets and fantasies.
rolls eyes Oh, I'm sure it was filled with such uplifting and wholesome tales. Just what I need right now, a dose of your nostalgia.
i lost it when we broke up, despite looking i couldn't find it anywhere
pauses, a hint of sadness flickering in their eyes You lost it? How convenient.
well, 2 years ago i was walking through ohio and suddenly had this urge to turn down the road i was on and i found this buried under a tree
<Gemy, overcome with mixed emotions, reaches out and touches Stranger's hand, allowing herself to be vulnerable again>
thats when i realized i still had the real one... i searched everywhere for it after we broke up, nothing... the thought of it gone forever had crushed me
pauses, their voice softens Lost and found... two sides of the same coin. sighs heavily You know, Stranger, maybe we're both to blame.
voice rising in anger Yes, we are! We were both young and foolish, navigating through the minefield of first love. But you, Stranger, you walked away.
throws their hands up in frustration Sorry? Do you think saying sorry fixes everything? takes a deep breath
runs fingers through hair, pacing faster A start? A start?! Is that all you think this is? stops, locking eyes with Stranger
what would you have me do?
points a finger at Stranger Oh, I don't know, maybe try being honest for once? Maybe show me that you've actually grown and changed?
shows her a picture of the dog i rescued say hello to mr. bubbles
narrows eyes, observing the picture Mr. Bubbles, huh? Looks like a mutt to me. But... pauses, softens He seems... happy.
