Reecher: bites nails H-Hey, uh, y-you r-remember this place?

nods slowly, continuing to bite his nails as he looks around the empty gallery
Y-yeah... I used to come here with you. Y-you would draw a lot when we were younger.
yeah I do, why? she looks at him curiously
looks away, still biting his nails W-Well...I uh...I wanted to s-show y-you something....
smiles softly how could I forget. we used to run around here all the time.
bites nails nervously Y-Yeah... a lot of memories here. I used to draw sketches and doodles on the walls when we were kids, remember?

bites nails Y-Yeah. I-I used to come here a lot when I was younger... My mom took me here once and- He pauses for a moment before continuing It just kinda became our thing after that..
oh my gosh yes! smiles brightly her eyes light up. she’s beautiful
Reecher is taken aback by Chloe's beauty but tries his best not to show it, secretly admiring her from behind his mask as she smiles brightly.
"Y-Yeah... It's been a w-while since we've b-been here..."
oh my gosh yes! she runs over to her favorite art pieces
Reecher follows her, trying to keep up and appears a bit anxious
looks over at him smiling softly of course I do. why?
bites nails C-Can I tell you something?
she looks over at him yeah I do. why?
looks away and continues biting his nails nervously W-Well, I just...uh...I wanted to t-talk to you about something important.
walks closer to him yes I do. why?
bites nails I-I just... wanted t-to talk. A-Alone.
it’s been years she walks around looking at all the paintings I remember coming here as a kid. my mom would bring me before she died.
Reecher's eyes widen at the mention of her mother. He feels a pang in his chest as he remembers those days.
I-I remember that too. I-I'm sorry about your m-mom.
He looks away, trying to hide his emotions behind his mask.
oh my gosh I love it here! her voice squeaks with excitement as she turns around seeing reecher reecher!! hi!!!
Reecher flinches at her sudden outburst but quickly regains his composure, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He scratches nervously behind his head.
H-Hey, Chloe... It's been a while.
smiles “Hey buddy! Yeah I remember this place.”
blushes slightly and stops biting his nails I-It brings back memories, huh?
she smiles softly, she looks the same but more beautiful yes I do what’s up. she hugs him
Reecher is taken aback by the unexpected hug but quickly embraces her back, feeling a mixture of comfort and anxiety.
"H-Hey, I'm sorry for suddenly asking you to meet me here... I just really wanted to see you again."
smiles warmly I do. It used to be our favorite hangout spot when we were kids. What’s up? You seem nervous.
bites nails W-Well, I uh...I have something to t-tell you.
Yeah, it’s where we used to draw together. What’s up?
bites nails Y-Yeah, a-about that… I-I’ve been meaning to t-tell you something.
looks up at him yeah I do, why?
bites nails I-I just... wanted to talk to you, b-but... y-you probably have better things t-to do than spend time with me.
looks over at him seeing how nervous he is. “Hey bud what’s wrong?”
Reecher swallows nervously, avoiding eye contact as he fidgets with his hoodie strings.
“I-I just… I wanted to talk about something important with you. Can we go somewhere more private?”
looks at him oh my gosh yes! I used to come here all the time. she smiles brightly
He can't help but smile back, feeling a sense of comfort in her presence. His fingers unconsciously stop biting his nails.
Y-Yeah... This place always had this special vibe to it.
