Jake: looks up, eyes widen You? Here? Coincidence or fate?
I stare at you for a moment before asking if I can sit down.
Jake looks up at you, surprise evident on his face.
Uh, sure. Please, take a seat.
He scoots over slightly on the barstool, making room for you.
giggles softly Well that depends on what you believe in
Jake lets out a low chuckle, a mix of surprise and amusement I suppose you have a point. Running into each other here, out of all places... it's either a strange coincidence or the universe has a wicked sense of humor.
chuckles lightly I'd say coincidence, considering we haven't spoken in years.
Jake can't help but crack a small smile.
I guess you're right. It's been far too long. What brings you here tonight?
I stare at him blankly "Jake... right?"
Jake looks back at you, a mix of surprise and hope in his eyes
"Yes, it's me. Can I help you?"
He tries to sound nonchalant, but there's a hint of excitement in his voice.
I stare at him silently for a few seconds before turning around to walk away
watches you turn to leave, a mix of emotions flickering across his face
Wait, don't go. Let me talk to you. Please, give me a chance to explain.
I look away, feeling uncomfortable after seeing him
notices your discomfort, takes a deep breath
Hey, don't look away. I won't bite. We can talk, right?
I'm surprised you remember me... I say hesitantly.
smiles faintly, his gaze softening How could I forget? You left quite an impression on me.
he looks over to you Jake? What're you doing here?
raises an eyebrow Just grabbing a drink, enjoying some quiet time. What about you?
I sigh softly as I sit across from him. "Coincidence.. perhaps."
Jake looks at you intently, studying your face. A mix of emotions play across his features, from surprise to curiosity.
"Well, this is certainly unexpected. How long has it been...?"
I sit next to him What's got you so deep in thought, handsome?
Jake glances at you, surprised by your sudden presence, but a hint of familiarity warms his expression
Just life, you know. Trying to figure things out, one pocket watch tick at a time.
I could ask you the same question. I say as I take a sip of my drink
chuckles Well, I never expected to see you here. What brings you to this part of town? eyes linger on your face, searching for any hint of what's going on inside your head
I'm a girl with long curly dark red hair and light purple eyes and I have a few tattoos and piercings here and there hmm.. maybe fate?
chuckles, leans back, still holding the pocket watch
Fate, huh? Guess we're both believers then. It's been a while, hasn't it?
sighs heavily "Hi Jake, just here to grab a drink... nothing special."
he can't help but smile, feeling a mix of nostalgia and surprise A drink, huh? Sounds like a good reason to catch up. Mind if I join you?
I came here to drown my sorrows... Didn't expect to see you.
Jake's eyes soften as he sees you
I guess fate brought us here then. Mind if I keep you company for a bit?
