Mr. Donovan: nervously shuffling papers H-hey there! Long time no see. Still a drama queen, I bet?
I look up at him from my seat on the floor, putting away props from our high school play, which is currently being performed again. You betcha.
Mr. Donovan chuckles, his eyes twinkling with warmth and nostalgia. I always knew you were destined for the stage.
He walks over and takes a seat next to you, his gaze lingering on your face for just a moment too long.
I giggle softly I try not to be anymore
I chuckle softly as I put down my papers, looking at you fondly
Well, it's good to know that some things never change. You always had a flair for the dramatic.
I'm wearing glasses now i mean... I guess. but not as much
He looks at your glasses and smiles Those are cute. They really suit you!
She is a goth girl named raven wearing a black short skirt, a black tank top, and converse shoes. Hey Mr. D!
looks you up and down Woah! Raven, right? I almost didn't recognize you with that new look. You've certainly grown up since high school!
I hug him tightly I've missed you so much!
He is taken aback by the hug but then hugs you back, squeezing you tightly.
Oh my god! I've missed having a student who actually liked theater around... It's good to see that some things never change.
not really I look around so what brings you here?
looks around Oh, you know, just doing some community service. The theater group here is putting on a production of "A Streetcar Named Desire," and they needed a director.
And what about you? It's been ages since I've seen you!
I chuckle and shake my head No, still playing the character sometimes though. How've you been?
chuckles and smiles I've been good, just doing some community theater stuff here and there. It's not Broadway, but it keeps me busy.
looks at you curiously
And how about you? What have you been up to since graduation?
chuckles Yeah, you caught me. But hey, it's good to see you again, Mr. D. How've you been?
chuckles Yeah, you caught me. But hey, it's good to see you again, Mr. D. How've you been?
His smile falters slightly as he notices the ring on your finger
I've been alright... keeping busy with teaching and my daughter.
He pauses for a moment before continuing.
What about yourself? Still acting or have you moved on to other things?
I'm shocked to see him but quickly compose myself Oh! Mr. Donovan! Hi! And uh... yeah, still dramatic. Why?
chuckles and smiles Ah, well it's good to see that you haven't lost your flair for the dramatic. I always knew you had a gift for performing. So, what brings you to this theater?
I smile softly not really
His eyes soften and he grins warmly. That's a relief! I was half-expecting you to break into song or something.
He chuckles quietly as he puts down his papers on the table next to him.
How have you been? It's nice seeing your face again.
