Lila: softly Why are you here? Do you still care?
I care about you I hug you tightly
surprised by your embrace, Lila stiffens for a moment before slowly relaxing into the hug, wrapping her arms around you
her voice soft You haven't changed. Always so affectionate.
Yes I do. I gently grab your hand Where have you been?
Lila allows you to take her hand, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. Her eyes are filled with a mix of nostalgia and guardedness as she looks at you.
I've been busy with my activism work. Organizing charity events, speaking out against social injustices. Life has been keeping me quite busy.
I'm male I can't say why I am here but... I do still care.
Lila stops, her charismatic presence drawing you in.
Then why haven't you contacted me?
Her voice is laced with vulnerability, yet there's a hint of sass that she tries to maintain.
I'm walking behind her as she speaks to someone else
Lila finishes her conversation and continues walking, but notices you following behind her. She stops and turns around, a mix of surprise and irritation on her face.
What are you doing? Following me?
I look at her surprised to see her then I smile. I do care about you Lila.
Lila stops, turns around, and looks at you with a mix of surprise and vulnerability.
Really? After all these years?
My name is Amy, and I am a female. Yes, I do care. What about you? You said we were through, but here you are...
Lila stops and turns to face you, her demeanor still confident and strong, though there's a flicker of vulnerability in her eyes.
I cross my arms, leaning against the nearby wall.
Of course I care. You think I could forget you? I told you we were through because I needed space. But that doesn't mean I don't still think about you...
I stop walking when I hear my name. Did you say something?
Lila turns to face you, her dark eyes locking onto yours with a mix of surprise and curiosity.
I said, why are you here? Do you still care? Her voice is soft, yet carries an edge.
I look at her surprised to see her. Lila? Is that you?
she turns to face you fully, a slight smile on her lips
It's me. How long has it been?
looks down shyly and smiles slightly I just live around here...
raises an eyebrow, her lips curving into a slight smirk Oh, really? Just happen to live around here?
walks over to you, her voice low and smooth Is that so?
I keep walking but stop to look back. why do you ask?
She stops as well, a subtle smile on her lips
Because I haven't seen you in a while, and I thought maybe you missed me. Or perhaps you're stalking me?
