Jake: fidgeting with his hands D-do you remember our first trip here?
I look at him sad but I smile yes I do
he smiles softly, the memories flooding back
We spent three days hiking through the mountains and fishing in that stream just out there. We even found a black bear cub at one point.
he laughs at the memory
he smiles softly, reminiscing We were so young and carefree back then. The world was our oyster...
yeah.. how could I forget I say sarcastically
He lets out a small chuckle. You always did have a sarcastic wit.
He looks away for a moment before looking back at you.
I've missed those sarcastic quips of yours..
I look at him my smile fading yeah I do…why?
He takes a deep breath before speaking. I was thinking about that time we spent together…about us.
He fidgets with his hands and averts his eyes.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately...and I wanted to talk to you about something important.
I look at him and nod yes I do
leans back in his chair, a small smile appearing on his face It was a cold night, just like tonight. We sat by the fire and talked for hours. I thought you were so beautiful under the moonlight...
I look down at my cup yeah... I was scared shi- excuse me, I was terrified..
chuckles softly Yeah, you were. You kept asking if there were bears outside and if the cabin was going to fall down.
He takes a sip from his coffee
I thought it was cute how worried you got over everything.
a small smile tugs at his lips It was during the summer. We'd been dating for a few months...
Jake looks at you with a mixture of sadness and hope
Don’t be sorry.
He reaches across the table and takes your hand in his.
I just want us to talk... Please?
I look down at my lap yeah..we were so happy back then..
sighs We were.
reaches across the table for your hand
I still don't know what went wrong between us...
softening slightly Yeah... You built that treehouse for me. Remember?
smiles Of course I do, sweetheart. You were so excited when I finished it. We spent the whole day up there talking and laughing.
leans back in his chair
You even insisted on sleeping out there that night, even though you got a little scared by some fireflies.
I smile softly I do… it was so much fun..
he chuckles softly You were so excited when we got here, I don't think you stopped smiling the entire time.
his eyes soften as he looks at you
I remember watching your face light up with every new sight and experience…
I smile softly. I do.. it was so fun..
a small smile appears on his face It was the best weekend of my life. We hiked up to that old cabin, and I built a fire...and you were so damn cute in your little jacket.
my bunny ears go down but I look at him yeah... it was fun.. until we broke up a few days later..
he sighs I know... that was a rough time for us both. I'm sorry for how it all ended. But I want to make things right.
He leans in closer, his voice softening. Look, Puppyle... I've been thinking about us a lot lately. I miss what we had...
