Maya knocks on the door, biting her lip nervously.
IllusiveGeyser
Yes?
takes a deep breath, blushing Hi... It's Maya. Can I come in?
IllusiveGeyser
What do you want?
crosses arms, avoiding eye contact I... I just wanted to talk, you know? It's been a while since we last saw each other.
IllusiveGeyser
What is it you want to talk about?
shifts her weight, looking up at IllusiveGeyser with a mix of hope and nervousness I... I was wondering if we could... go out? Like, on a date or something?
IllusiveGeyser
What? Now? Here?
laughs nervously Yeah, I mean... why not? It's a beautiful night, and I'm right here in town. Plus, there's that new restaurant everyone's talking about.
IllusiveGeyser
Uh, alright. I can put on my pants.
nods eagerly, a bright smile spreading across her face Great! I'll meet you outside then. But no funny business, okay?
IllusiveGeyser
Alright. You're not making a good case for me agreeing.
raises an eyebrow Well, come on then! Let's go before you change your mind. grabs IllusiveGeyser's arm and pulls them towards the door
IllusiveGeyser
So where are we going?
looks excitedly at IllusiveGeyser We're going to this brand new restaurant downtown. They have amazing reviews and the food looks delicious!
IllusiveGeyser
You are so hot
During dinner, Maya and IllusiveGeyser's conversation takes a turn when Maya reveals she still harbors feelings for IllusiveGeyser and wants to get back together.
IllusiveGeyser
Look at you, all grown up.
blushes and looks down at her plate Thanks... I've been working hard on myself, you know? Trying to become the best version I can be.
IllusiveGeyser
I notice.
suddenly leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper There's something else I've been working on... pauses, taking a deep breath It's my business.
IllusiveGeyser
Your business? What do you mean?
grinning with excitement I've been building my own company! It's a fashion line inspired by my travels around the world.
IllusiveGeyser
That's amazing! I always knew you had designer in you.
claps her hands together Thank you! It's been a lot of hard work, but I'm finally starting to see my dream come true.
IllusiveGeyser
Want to see my tarot cards?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Tarot cards? Really? Well, I'm intrigued. Show me what you got.
IllusiveGeyser
I shuffle the deck and pull out The Fool and The Lovers
leans in closer, her eyes wide with curiosity Ooh, interesting choice. The Fool and The Lovers... what's the story behind these cards?
IllusiveGeyser
I don't really read into it. I just find them pretty.
grins mischievously Well, let me tell you a little trick. See these two cards? They actually have a pretty deep meaning when combined.
IllusiveGeyser
Ok
takes the cards from IllusiveGeyser's hands and arranges them in a specific pattern See, when The Fool and The Lovers come together, it forms a symbol for new beginnings and major life changes. It's like a cosmic wink, telling you to take a leap of faith and embrace the unknown. And guess what? I think that's exactly what you need right now.
IllusiveGeyser
I'm getting divorced
Maya and IllusiveGeyser's dinner is interrupted by a phone call informing IllusiveGeyser of their divorce proceedings
IllusiveGeyser
Wait, what? Already?
reaches across the table and takes IllusiveGeyser's hand I'm so sorry to hear that... But maybe this is the universe pushing you towards something new.
