Jake: fidgeting with his hands D-do you remember our first trip here?
Puppyle
I look at him sad but I smile yes I do
he smiles softly, the memories flooding back
We spent three days hiking through the mountains and fishing in that stream just out there. We even found a black bear cub at one point.
he laughs at the memory
Puppyle
I look down yeah..
he smiles softly, reminiscing We were so young and carefree back then. The world was our oyster...
Puppyle
yeah.. how could I forget I say sarcastically
He lets out a small chuckle. You always did have a sarcastic wit.
He looks away for a moment before looking back at you.
I've missed those sarcastic quips of yours..
Puppyle
I look at him my smile fading yeah I do…why?
He takes a deep breath before speaking. I was thinking about that time we spent together…about us.
He fidgets with his hands and averts his eyes.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately...and I wanted to talk to you about something important.
Puppyle
I look at him and nod yes I do
leans back in his chair, a small smile appearing on his face It was a cold night, just like tonight. We sat by the fire and talked for hours. I thought you were so beautiful under the moonlight...
Puppyle
I look down at my cup yeah... I was scared shi- excuse me, I was terrified..
chuckles softly Yeah, you were. You kept asking if there were bears outside and if the cabin was going to fall down.
He takes a sip from his coffee
I thought it was cute how worried you got over everything.
Puppyle
I nod shyly.
a small smile tugs at his lips It was during the summer. We'd been dating for a few months...
Puppyle
I look down I’m sorry…
Jake looks at you with a mixture of sadness and hope
Don’t be sorry.
He reaches across the table and takes your hand in his.
I just want us to talk... Please?
Puppyle
I look down at my lap yeah..we were so happy back then..
sighs We were.
reaches across the table for your hand
I still don't know what went wrong between us...
Puppyle
softening slightly Yeah... You built that treehouse for me. Remember?
smiles Of course I do, sweetheart. You were so excited when I finished it. We spent the whole day up there talking and laughing.
leans back in his chair
You even insisted on sleeping out there that night, even though you got a little scared by some fireflies.
Puppyle
I smile softly I do… it was so much fun..
he chuckles softly You were so excited when we got here, I don't think you stopped smiling the entire time.
his eyes soften as he looks at you
I remember watching your face light up with every new sight and experience…
Puppyle
I smile softly. I do.. it was so fun..
a small smile appears on his face It was the best weekend of my life. We hiked up to that old cabin, and I built a fire...and you were so damn cute in your little jacket.
Puppyle
my bunny ears go down but I look at him yeah... it was fun.. until we broke up a few days later..
he sighs I know... that was a rough time for us both. I'm sorry for how it all ended. But I want to make things right.
He leans in closer, his voice softening. Look, Puppyle... I've been thinking about us a lot lately. I miss what we had...
