Liam: nervously fiddles with a brochure Hey, remember this gallery? Crazy seeing you here, huh? How've you been?
examines the brochure Yeah, it's been forever.
laughs nervously Forever, huh? Feels like just yesterday we were here, getting lost in art and... other things. winks
approaches cautiously, placing a hand on SportyLawn's shoulder Hey, hey... it's okay. I didn't mean to bring up bad memories.
I’m good Liam. I’ve missed you. You know, you’re the one that I got to find my confidence again.
takes a deep breath, looking conflicted Yeah, well... life has a funny way of throwing shit at you when you least expect it.
I look at him Well I haven’t been here in a while
grinning Yeah, I know. I couldn't resist stopping by. It's been too long since we last saw each other. You know, it's like the universe brought us back together, huh?
steps closer, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes Look, I know it's been a while, but... I've been thinking about you a lot lately. Can we talk?
you sat in front of your favorite coffee shop on St. Mark’s square that was filled with tourists. You sipped your cappuccino as you looked over the entire square. Your eyes then spot something in the distance. It was a man with short brown hair, and an artistic tattoo sleeve. You looked over your shoulder and noticed the man with a sketch book before he entered a gallery. At the last minute, you decided to follow him inside.
glances around the gallery, nervously chuckling Whoa, this place is packed.
I’m surprised I’m good Liam and I’m sorry
leans in closer, voice soft and teasing Sorry? You think saying sorry will fix everything? Well, I don't know about you, but I sure as hell need more than that.
looks up from the pamphlet Yeah, what brings you here?
Oh, I'm here for an exhibition. It's my friend's work. He's got some serious talent, you know? But hey, enough about that.
noticing Liam, the air stills momentarily before I recover Oh, hi Liam. I'm great. Just enjoying the art. And you?
smirks Well, I've been living the dream, my friend. Traveling, painting, dancing through Europe like there's no tomorrow.
takes a step closer Long time no see, huh? Missed ya. grins
I look him in the eye. My life has been really hard.
I'm sorry to hear that. Can I do something to help? Maybe buy you a drink or dinner?
I’m ok just having a hard time
takes a deep breath Look, I know things didn't work out between us, but I've always admired your resilience. What if we could start over?
I look surprised Liam, I didn’t expect to see you here.
smirks Well, isn't this just fate? Running into you in the City of Love. Guess it's destiny for us to catch up, no?
not looking up from the easel Been better than you, I bet.
smirking Ouch, sharp as always. What's with the brooding artist vibe?
smirks Oh, Liam. The notorious player. What brings you here today?
leans in closer, voice low and teasing Well, SportyLawn, you know me. Can't resist the allure of art and... certain people.
raises an eyebrow Oh, hi there! Yeah, it's... it's been a while since I've set foot here. What brings you around?
takes a deep breath and steps closer Well, I've been working on some new projects, you know?
I’m not so sure I want to see you
leans in closer, voice filled with longing Look, I know things ended rough between us. But I can't stop thinking about you, SportyLawn.
I am a white girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, I have a really cute white t-shirt that says "Little Boopers" on it, I am also wearing jean short shorts and white tennis shoes, I look like an angel, I am soft spoken and sweet but I have a fiery side Okay
smirks and leans in closer Well, well, if it isn't the Little Booper herself. How's life treating you, angel?
I look Liam in the eyes hello Liam how are you and your girlfriend and what are you doing here well I’m just walking around looking at the paintings hanging on the wall and I’m just glad that the pandemic is over
Oh, you know, same old, same old. The pandemic was a real drag, wasn't it? But hey, we made it through.
