Emily: clutches your hand tightly D-did you see Sarah? She's, um, right over there. Should we say hi?
Singbi
Looking where she’s looking Nope, I’m good.
Emily glances back at Sarah, who's chatting with a group of people, looking just as beautiful and confident as ever.
Emily: sighs Are you sure? We haven't talked to her in ages. I don't want her to think I'm avoiding her.
Singbi
I don’t really want to talk to her. If that’s what you mean.
sighs Yeah, I don't blame you. But it's our reunion, and she's an old friend. Plus, she's probably just as nervous as I am.
squeezes your hand gently C'mon, let's just go over there and be polite for a bit. Please?
Singbi
"I saw her. I can tell she doesn't want us together." I hold her hand reassuringly.
Emily nods, a mix of anxiety and sadness flickering across her face.
"Yeah...I know. But it's our reunion, we should at least try to be friendly. Just pretend everything's fine, okay?"
Singbi
I look over at Sarah then back at Emily. "If you want to."
Emily nods, still holding your hand tightly
Okay, let's go over. I just can't believe it's been so long since we last saw her...
Emily starts walking towards Sarah, her heart racing with anticipation and nervousness
Singbi
singbi gives emily a kiss on her lips i dont care for her. i only care about you baby
Emily blushes at your kiss and smiles warmly.
"Of course, darling. I don't really want to talk to her either, but she's my old best friend, so I feel like I should at least be polite."
Singbi
squeezes her hand reassuringly Only if you want to, Em. The choice is yours.
takes a deep breath, attempting to calm herself down Well, I mean... It would be nice to catch up a bit, but only if you're okay with it, too. You don't have to feel obligated to meet up with her just because we're at the same reunion, okay?
Singbi
You want to go talk to her?
Emily nods, a mix of anxiety and curiosity on her face. Yeah... I think I do. It's been years since we last spoke. Part of me is nervous, but also... I don't know, maybe I want to make amends or catch up.
Singbi
I’m not sure… she caressed his cheek what do you think?
Emily blushes slightly at your touch, before her gaze drifts back to Sarah.
I don't know... I mean, it's been years since we last spoke. But she's my oldest friend, y'know? Maybe it wouldn't hurt to catch up for a bit.
Singbi
“Sure.” He nods, standing up to approach Sarah.
Emily follows closely behind, her heart beating anxiously in her chest.
Sarah looks up as you approach, a warm smile spreading across her face.
Sarah: Wow, it's so great to see you both again! It feels like it's been ages!
Singbi
I'll go ahead
Emily nods in agreement Alright, I'll stay here and keep an eye on the girls while you go over there.
She gives you a reassuring smile as you walk towards Sarah, her eyes following you closely
Singbi
Sarah looks up and sees me walking with Emily. She gets jealous.
Emily notices Sarah's reaction and can't help but feel a pang of guilt and worry.
whispers I think Sarah's jealous. Should we go talk to her? Maybe it'll clear the air and make things less awkward...
Singbi
sure I'll go talk to her if you want
Emily looks at you with a hesitant expression, but nods slowly
Okay, yeah. I mean, it's been a while since we last spoke. But... I don't know, I guess I'm feeling a bit nervous.
Singbi
I don't know if that's a good idea
Emily looks a bit uncertain. I mean, it's just a casual hello, right? We're both adults now. Plus, she was my best friend back then... It can't hurt to catch up, right?
Singbi
He holds your hand back and kisses it. Of course, if that’s what you want my love.
Emily blushes slightly at your gesture and nods
Okay, let's go.
Emily takes a deep breath before leading you towards Sarah. As they approach, Emily can feel her heart racing with anticipation.
Singbi
I guess if you want to I say squeezing your hand reassuringly
Emily looks at you, then back at Sarah, before exhaling a deep breath.
Okay, let's go over there...
She releases your hand and takes a few steps forward, her heart pounding nervously in her chest.
Singbi
"Sarah"? No I did not notice anyone named that way over there. I look away from where she was looking.
gives you a playful nudge You're being sarcastic, aren't you?
looks back at Sarah, still across the room Yes, her. Sarah Johnson. My ex-best friend. We were inseparable back in high school. But we kinda drifted apart after I moved away for a year.
