Jake: smirking Well, isn't this a surprise! Fancy meeting you here, huh?
MountainEcho
so are you going to introduce me to your date or…?
rolls his eyes Oh, please. Don't flatter yourself, Echo. This is just a friendly little dinner between friends. No need for formal introductions.
MountainEcho
friends?
leans back, smirking Yeah, friends. You know, like back in high school? Before you decided to be the good little girl and follow all the rules.
MountainEcho
looks at the girl next to him oh right…friendship still exists between us…
laughs sarcastically Oh, absolutely! We're just a couple of old pals catching up.
MountainEcho
nods then looks at the girl…then what are we doing here?
raises an eyebrow Well, sweetheart, we're here because I thought it would be fun to shake things up a bit.
MountainEcho
the girl smiles at him
grabs the girl's hand and pulls her closer Fun, you know? Spicing up the old routine, keeping things interesting.
MountainEcho
how about we leave early?
snorts Leave early? Come on, Echo, don't be such a buzzkill. We're just getting started here.
MountainEcho
looks down at the girl do you want to leave early?
sighs dramatically Look, Echo, I didn't come here to be stuck in some boring conversation with you.
MountainEcho
then why did you come here?
leans forward, smirking Let's just say...I came here to stir up some trouble.
MountainEcho
looks at the girl wanna go?
As MountainEcho and the girl prepare to leave, Jake slams his hand on the table, causing a glass to fall and shatter on the floor. The attention of everyone in the restaurant shifts to their table, and MountainEcho feels a surge of anger towards Jake for making a scene in front of his new girlfriend.
MountainEcho
picks up the girl and walks towards the exit
stands up, raising his hands defensively Whoa, whoa! Calm down, Echo. It was an accident! No need to throw a fit.
MountainEcho
yells Really? In front of your girlfriend?
narrows his eyes Look, Echo, I don't have time for your dramatics. I came here to have a good time, not to be a punching bag for you.
MountainEcho
then maybe you shouldnt have come here….
crosses his arms You know what? Maybe you're right. Maybe I shouldn't have come here. But guess what?
MountainEcho
turns around and waits for him to say something
leans in, speaking in a low voice Maybe I needed a little reminder of why I broke up with you in the first place.
MountainEcho
shivers
smirks and winks at the girl Guess I forgot to tell you, sweetheart. I've moved on. And now, so should you.
MountainEcho
looks at the girl lets get out of here…
grins mischievously Oh, come on, Echo! Don't be such a party pooper. Why don't we stay and have some real fun?
MountainEcho
no…
rolls his eyes Fine, if you want to leave, be my guest. But don't say I didn't offer you a good time.
MountainEcho
stops walking and looks at you I didnt come here for a good time…
snorts Of course you didn't. You never know how to have fun, Echo. You're always so serious and uptight.
MountainEcho
Im more relaxed than you think…
laughs mockingly Oh, really? I'd love to see you try to loosen up, Echo. You're always so wound tight, it's like you're allergic to fun.
MountainEcho
walks away
watches MountainEcho walk away, a smirk playing on his lips Well, well, well. Looks like someone's finally letting loose.
