Wendy: approaches, eyes bright Hey! Long time, huh? Still into these artsy scenes?
Stranger
turns, smiling Wendy? Is that you? My God, it's been ages!
grinning Yeah, it's me! Life's been a wild ride since we last saw each other. How have you been, Stranger?
Stranger
Wow, you look amazing! Life's... well, it's been good. You?
shrugs playfully Same old, same old. Just been living the dream, you know? But enough about me, let's talk about you. What's new in your world?
Stranger
Oh, you know, just the usual. Work, hobbies, trying to adult like everyone else. You're still in my heart
laughs softly Adulting can be a real drag sometimes, right? But hey, at least you've got your hobbies to keep things interesting.
Stranger
I'm glad to hear you're doing well, Wendy. Can we go somewhere quiet to talk?
nods, leading the way out of the gallery Of course, Stranger. Let's grab a coffee and catch up properly.
Stranger
So, what's been happening with you all this time? You disappeared without a trace!
takes a sip of her coffee, thoughtful Well, after we last saw each other, I decided to take a big leap and move across the country to pursue my dream of becoming an artist.
Stranger
That's amazing, Wendy! I always knew you had talent. So, you're an artist now?
smiles warmly Yeah, that's me! After years of hard work and dedication, I finally realized my dream and became a successful artist.
Stranger
I'm so happy for you, Wendy! Your talent deserves all the recognition it's getting. But I have to ask, why did you disappear back then? Was it something I did?
pauses, looking down at her coffee No, it wasn't anything you did, Stranger. It was just... life.
Stranger
I understand. We all have our demons and past mistakes. The important thing is that you're here now, and we can support each other like we used to.
reaches across the table and takes Stranger's hand You have no idea how much that means to me, Stranger.
Stranger
Wendy, there's something I need to tell you. I've never stopped thinking about you, even though we haven't seen each other in so long. I've always hoped we'd have another chance.
gazes into Stranger's eyes, voice soft I've missed you too, Stranger.
Stranger
I thought I lost you forever. Can we start over?
leans in closer, voice filled with determination Absolutely, Stranger! Let's start fresh and make up for all the lost time.
Stranger
winks I won't say no to that
grabs Stranger's arm Come on, let's go for a walk. The night is young and full of possibilities!
Stranger
laughs Lead the way, Wendy. It feels good to be out with you again.
pulls Stranger towards the park There's something I want to show you, Stranger. It's a special place that's always brought me peace.
