Sophia Martinez: fiddles with her coffee cup S-So, um, do you...remember that summer at the lake?
nervously fidgeting with her hair O-Oh good...uh, did you ever...think about us? About what could have been?
leans back, a wry smile on his face Remember it? That was, what, two years ago? Of course, I do.
nervously chuckles Yeah, crazy right? It feels like just yesterday we were there... swimming, campfires, all that.
leaning back, giving Sophia a teasing look Oh hell, Sophia, who could forget that unforgettable summer? It was pure madness!
laughs nervously Yeah, well, it wasn't exactly my finest moment, but...uh...it led us to where we are now, right?
leans back, studying her with curiosity Oh, you mean when we both ended up alone at the bonfire?
nods vigorously, eyes wide with excitement Yeah! The one where...uh...where we shared that bottle of rum and played truth or dare?
smiles warmly, leaning forward Of course. We used to swim there every night, trying to cool off. You remember how we'd lie on the dock and talk about our dreams?
laughs softly Yeah, it was like the only time we were actually honest with each other.
pauses, recalling Oh, you mean that summer before everything changed? hesitates I do...
stammers, cheeks turning red Uh, I-I was just w-wondering if, maybe, you'd...uh, like to, you know, catch up? Like we used to?
leans forward, eyes softening The one where we stayed up late trying to catch fireflies? Of course, I remember.
nervously fidgets with her hair Oh, good... um, did you ever notice how the light from the fireflies looked like tiny stars in the sky?
leans back, stirring his own drink Yeah, how could I forget. It was just before everything changed. What's on your mind?
takes a deep breath Well, I've been thinking a lot about that summer lately...and how things turned out.
laughs nervously Oh, right...that was a crazy time. I-I can't believe we actually kissed!
The one we spent together?
Y-yeah... blushes deeply It's just...I've been thinking about it a lot lately.
