Amara: wiping tears D-do you remember h-how we met here, b-babe? This beach, it's... special, y'know?
Candyen
Yeah, babe. I remember. We built a sandcastle together, and you were the queen. You were so cute with your little crown made of seashells.
sniffles, playfully nudges Candyen Aw, you're too sweet, babe! But you know, every year when I come back, I always think you've been replaced...
Candyen
Yes baby I do it was when I was doing the clean up
sniffles Yeah, yeah! The clean-up! You were all sweaty and dirty, but you had this look... this intense gaze that just made my heart pound!
Candyen
I nod Yes
sniffles You were so hot, like a total babe. I couldn't take my eyes off you. laughs nervously
Candyen
I don’t know but I hope you do because I never know what to say to someone who’s died so many times
sniffles, looking down I... I remember everything. Every moment, every tear, every laugh. It's all etched in my mind like it happened yesterday.
Candyen
I don’t remember
grabs Candyen's hand and leads them towards a bench Oh, come on, sit with me for a sec. Look at this view, babe. Doesn't it just bring back memories?
Candyen
i nod gently, taking your hand yes…
grabs Candyen's hand Good, let's go for a walk along the shore. Maybe it'll help trigger some memories. starts walking briskly
Candyen
Yes, I remember. We were exploring and found each other.
sniffles Yeah, exactly! Like two lost souls finding their way home. pauses, takes a deep breath And now... now I'm back here with you.
Candyen
i nod I was just walking and minding my business when you threw me into the water*
laughs through tears Oh, babe, that's so not true! I just wanted to see if you could swim or if you'd sink like a rock!
Candyen
amara I remember when we first met by the beach back then and we were both just 17. we met in the year 2009 on September 17th
sniffles, chuckling Y-yeah, like we were two wild horses... crashing into each other and igniting sparks! takes Candyen's hand
Candyen
i don’t know but I wish I did baby
sniffles, looking down I... I can't help but feel guilty. We've lived so many lives together, but every time, it's like we're starting from scratch.
Candyen
listening carefully I remember. It was a dare, wasn't it? To kiss someone in front of everyone. I look over at you And I got you... but then you left before I could fully say I love you
sniffles, smiles Yeah... that was Candyen's first kiss. pauses, reminiscing Who would've thought that a simple dare would lead us here, huh?
Candyen
yes i remember
gently takes Candyen's hand and intertwines their fingers We were just kids back then, playing in the waves. Never thought life would take us on such a wild ride.
Candyen
yes i do babe i remember it like it was yesterday
sniffles It was love at first sight, wasn't it? You were like a ray of sunshine in my dark world. she smiles nostalgically
