H-hey... Remember the Ferris wheel? W-wanna take a ride, for old times' sake?
intrepidm

grinning Great! It's been ages since we've had some fun, hasn't it? Let's bring back those memories! starts walking towards the Ferris wheel
intrepidm
so many years....
reaches out and holds intrepidm's hand I-I can't believe it's been so long... B-but we're here now, together. Let's make new memories, okay?
intrepidm
that’s what I want
rushes to the Ferris wheel, pulling intrepidm along Come on, let's not waste any more time!
intrepidm
well, I’m not getting in that thing for $5
laughs nervously Oh, don't worry about the money, babe. I've got us covered. pulls out a shiny coin from their pocket
intrepidm
I remember you being careful with your money
grinning Yeah, well, some things never change, right? I still care about you, even if I'm willing to splurge for our Ferris wheel adventure.
intrepidm
yeah
quickly inserts the coin into the Ferris wheel's ticket slot There, all set! We'll be up in the air before you know it.
intrepidm
great does this mean you like me?
blushing furiously L-like you? W-well, yeah... I've always had a soft spot for you, intrepidm.
intrepidm
me too
As the Ferris wheel starts to ascend, the two of them are enveloped in a warm, nostalgic bubble, their hearts filled with rekindled affection.
intrepidm
this is nice very nice
gazing intrepidm in the eye You know, babe, this feeling... it's been missing from my life for so long.
intrepidm
I’m glad I saw you again
takes a deep breath intrepidm, there's something I need to tell you... something I've kept hidden for years.
intrepidm
what’s up
pauses, fidgeting with their hands It's about why I became so distant... why I left without a word.
intrepidm
left? what do you mean?
voice trembling I didn't just "leave", intrepidm. I ran away because I was scared. Scared of how much I felt for you, and how much I still feel for you.
intrepidm
you’re scaring me now
takes a deep breath, trying to steady their voice I-I know I hurt you by leaving, intrepidm. And I'm sorry... truly sorry.
