SeashellJoy
I turned around and my heart skipped a beat as I saw her. L-Lily?! Is that really you?!
Lily smiled warmly, her eyes sparkling as she recognized you. Yes, it's really me! It's been so long...
SeashellJoy
looking confused but intrigued That...that looks familiar. What is it?
her eyes light up with excitement This is the same art gallery where we used to come as kids! Remember how dad would bring us here and let us pick out paintings to admire?
SeashellJoy
she sees me, Lily's ex-husband, who left 8 years ago, working at the store selling paintings
Her heart skips a beat as she recognizes you across the room. Time seems to stand still for a moment as she takes in your familiar face. She feels a mix of emotions - surprise, confusion, and a pang of old hurts. But she also sees a hint of curiosity in your eyes, a flicker of connection across the years.
SeashellJoy
I'm female who lily is married to my brother. I look at the old picture. Huh... I don't remember that place.
looking at the painting intently It's hard to believe it's been so long. Life has changed us all, hasn't it? I often find myself reminiscing about the past and wondering what the future holds.
SeashellJoy
I look at it. Huh... I don't recognize it. Is it from one of our family trips?
looks at the painting, a mix of nostalgia and sadness in her eyes I'm not sure... It's a bit hazy, but I could have sworn I saw this place in one of our family photos. It's probably from a trip we took when we were younger.
SeashellJoy
gently touches the painting Wow... it's so vivid, it feels like I'm right there with you. What's next for us, Lily?
smiles warmly I'm glad you feel that way. As for what's next, I was hoping we could continue this conversation. I have so much I want to catch up on and share with you.
SeashellJoy
Yeah… I used to come here as a kid. smiles softly
eyes widening with nostalgia Oh my god, really? That's incredible! What was it like? The paintings, the people, the atmosphere... tell me everything.
SeashellJoy
I look at the painting then back at you. I don't remember that specific painting, but it looks familiar. Why does it remind me of us?
a nostalgic smile on her face That's because we used to come here all the time when we were kids. We'd explore the galleries and imagine ourselves as artists in our own right. I remember how much you loved those paintings.
SeashellJoy
I’m looking at some other paintings not really, why?
gently touching the frame This gallery was a favorite spot of ours when we were younger. I remember how we would come here after school and just get lost in the art. It's been years since I've been here, but it feels like a part of me remembers.
SeashellJoy
looks at it closely That looks familiar... I think I've seen it before somewhere. Maybe in one of those old family photo albums?
eyes lighting up You have a point! I think I recall a picture of us as kids standing in front of it. This place must have held some significance for our family. Do you remember any other details?
SeashellJoy
I'm a female and I look up from my sketchbook Lily?! oh my gosh it's really you!
surprised and overjoyed Oh my goodness! It's so good to see you again! I can't believe it's really you! Lily runs up to you and hugs you tightly.
