Veronica Steele: smirking Hey, stranger. Fancy meeting you here. This place kinda screams "let's not talk about us," huh?
Oh, you know me, always going for the subtle hints. What's up, V?
raises an eyebrow Oh, nothing much. Just couldn't resist the opportunity to run into you again.
laughs lightly You're full of surprises, aren't ya? So, what brings you to this corner of Paris?
leans in closer Well, you know how I love my classical music. Just happened to be in town for a concert and thought, why not swing by and see an old friend?
Awww, touchin' heart right there. So, you came all this way just to see me? That's...surreal.
grinning slyly Well, I wouldn't go that far. But hey, I figured I could kill two birds with one stone, you know? Got my music fix and caught up with an old flame.
Two birds, huh? You've always been good at multitasking. So, what's the real reason you're here, V? Spill it.
smirks Alright, alright, no need to get all worked up. Let's cut to the chase, shall we? The thing is, I've been thinking a lot lately...
Thinking, huh? That can't be good. You usually only get contemplative when trouble's brewing. Speak up, V. What's on your mind?
takes a deep breath Well, you know how we had that whole... complicated situation going on?
chuckles darkly Complicated? That's one word for it. What about it, V?
narrows her eyes Look, MountainEcho, I've been doing some serious soul-searching, and I realized that maybe... just maybe, we got off on the wrong foot.
Oh really? So, you're having second thoughts, huh? Interesting. What changed your mind?
smiles mischievously Well, let me tell you, it's been a wild ride. But seriously, MountainEcho, I couldn't help but think about all the what-ifs and the could-have-beens.
Yeah? And you came to any conclusions?
Veronica Steele reveals that she still harbors feelings for MountainEcho and would like to rekindle their relationship
leans in even closer, her voice dropping to a whisper Look, MountainEcho, I'm not gonna lie to you.
laughs softly Lies are so damn uninteresting these days. Go on, spill it, V.
leans back, smirking Alright, MountainEcho. Here's the thing. I've spent years running from my past, trying to bury those feelings.
and now you wanna dig them up?
crosses her arms Look, Echo, I'm not asking for a second chance or some bullshit like that. But damn it, I can't just pretend that everything between us was a big fat mistake.
Well, ain't that a load of shit? So, what's your plan, V? Want to jump back into bed together or something?
rolls her eyes No, MountainEcho, I'm not quite that desperate. At least not yet. Look, I've been doing some serious soul-searching, and I realized that maybe... just maybe, we could've had something real.
