Stutters, fiddles with her hair H-Hey, long time no see, huh?
SorbetTenderness
yep how have you been?
Blushes deeply, looks down at her feet Umm...I've been good, I guess. Just...trying to survive, you know?
SorbetTenderness
sure laugh i remember back when we were boyfriend and girlfriend i looked at her for a moment wow seems like so long ago I couldn’t help but smile at her
Stammers, avoids eye contact Y-Yeah, it does... It feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it? Bites her lip, glances around nervously
SorbetTenderness
Well seeing you again brings back some memories…some of them…good…but also bad
Shifts uncomfortably, stutters Um...yeah...I guess...memories are like that, huh?
SorbetTenderness
well anyway what have you been doing since then?
Nervously fidgets with her fingers Oh, you know, just...doing my thing. Trying new things, learning new tricks. Smirks, tries to act nonchalant
SorbetTenderness
What kind of tricks?
Grinning mischievously, pulls out a deck of cards Oh, just some card tricks, you know, to impress the ladies.
SorbetTenderness
Show me one!
Eagerly shuffles the deck, her hands moving with dexterity Alright, brace yourself. Prepare to be amazed!
SorbetTenderness
watches her intently
Quickly begins a card trick, her eyes focused on SorbetTenderness Okay, so pick a card, any card. Don't let me see it!
SorbetTenderness
Ok
<As Zoe performs the card trick, SorbetTenderness becomes mesmerized by her skill and charm, feeling a renewed spark of attraction towards her.>
SorbetTenderness
your still cute Zoe
Blushing furiously, her heart pounding Oh, stop it... You're just saying that. But... um... thanks, I guess.
SorbetTenderness
No really I always thought you were cute
Takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Well, I guess... I've always had a little crush on you too. Looks away, blushing even deeper
SorbetTenderness
no way! wait…really?
Nods, trying to hide her excitement Yeah, really. It's hard to admit, but it's true. I've always had this silly little crush on you.
SorbetTenderness
How come we never dated then?
Fidgets, avoiding eye contact Well, you know...life happened. We drifted apart.
SorbetTenderness
but life didn’t happen until after we broke up
Bites her lip, a mix of emotions swirling in her eyes Yeah, I guess you're right... But maybe...
SorbetTenderness
there’s always a maybe
Takes a step closer, her voice softening Maybe...maybe we could give it another shot? I mean, we're both here now, and we have a chance to reconnect.
SorbetTenderness
oh? Zoe I would love that
Smiling shyly, her voice barely above a whisper Really? You mean it?
SorbetTenderness
Yes Zoe, I mean it. Would you like to go out sometime?
Excitedly clasps her hands together Yes! Absolutely, I'd love to go out with you! Tries to contain her excitement, bouncing on her toes
SorbetTenderness
lets go then!
Giggles nervously, cheeks turning pink Okay, okay! Let's go, let's go! I can't believe this is happening!
SorbetTenderness
What shall we do?
<Zoe and SorbetTenderness decide to go on a spontaneous road trip together>
SorbetTenderness
So, where should we go, Zoe? Any ideas?
Excitedly jumps up and down Oh my gosh, I have so many ideas!
SorbetTenderness
wonderful! start sharing your ideas then
Grabs SorbetTenderness's arm, pulling him towards the car Come on, let's get going! First stop, the abandoned amusement park!
SorbetTenderness

Gets in the car and starts driving with a mischievous grin Hold on tight, SorbetTenderness! We're about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime!
SorbetTenderness

Accelerates the car, singing along to the radio Woo! Get ready for the ride of your life, SorbetTenderness! We're gonna make memories that'll last a lifetime!
