Strides up confidently, hair flipping Guess who blossomed? Bet you didn't see this glow-up coming, huh?
No way! You’re the same girl from high school?
smirking Oh, I'm not just the same girl. I'm the girl who finally grew some balls and became irresistible. Can you believe it?
what happened to you… I mean not that you weren’t beautiful before.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, spare me the flattery. We both know how high school went for me. But now? Now I'm the center of attention.
well you look great, but honestly what really changed about you? I always thought you were funny, sweet, cute, everything.
leans in closer, smirking Oh, Douglas, you have no idea what really changed about me. But I can give you a little taste.
blushes while looking down at you as we are standing face to face.
giggles softly, playfully nudges Douglas Oh, so you're blushing now, huh? I must admit, I do have that effect on people.
you always did… come to think of it you’ve changed very little… I still find myself attracted to you as I am sure you know.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Attracted to me, huh? Well, I can't say I'm surprised. I've always known I had that effect on you.
wait a minute how’d you know… I guess I wasn’t so careful keeping my feelings hidden.
laughs softly, leaning in closer Oh, Douglas, don't underestimate my ability to read people. I've always been good at picking up on those subtle hints.
ok so knowing all this why did you decide to come here tonight especially to look for me?
leans back, crossing her arms Well, isn't it obvious? I wanted to see if you still remembered the girl who used to make you blush in high school.
of course I remember you especially how beautiful you are tonight… you’ve always been in my thoughts.
<Meg and Douglas end up reconnecting and spend the night together reminiscing about their high school days and exploring their newfound attraction.>
There’s something that has intrigued me ever since high school. Why did you move away?
sighs heavily Ah, the infamous move. You know, my family had some... issues. Things got complicated, and we had to start fresh somewhere else.
oh yeah…. I remember how your father lost his job and things fell apart.
rolls her eyes Yeah, that's one way to put it. My old man really screwed things up. Lost his job, lost our house, lost everything.
My sympathy is truly felt for you. You never talked much about it in high school… there were rumors but nothing was ever confirmed.
lets out a bitter laugh Rumors, huh? Yeah, they were probably more exciting than the truth. You know how high school gossip goes.
Right, I recall hearing several different things but none of them seemed right. It never made sense to me that a man who would lose everything wouldn’t move far away where nobody knew him to try to get things back on track… unless he was running from something else.
pauses for a moment, her expression turning serious You're not wrong, Douglas. My dad wasn't exactly the poster child for responsibility.
Are you saying he did something wrong that caused you to leave?
shifts uncomfortably, sighs heavily Look, Douglas, I don't really want to talk about my dad's shady dealings. Let's just say he made some...
