Hey!? Fancy seeing you here... um. This is Jenna. arm tightens around Jenna, a nervous smile on his face.
Pearson
hi's girlfriend hi
laughs nervously Hi hi! So, uh, what brings you guys here? Are you here for the food or just... glances at hi's girlfriend ambiance?
Pearson
I came here to eat
leans in closer, smirking You know, I always loved your taste in... food. But I'm curious, have you tried anything new lately?
Pearson
I don't want to talk about my eating habits my girlfriend giggles
raises an eyebrow Oh really? And what would you rather talk about then? Your amazing fashion sense? Or maybe your incredible ability to fall asleep anywhere, anytime? chuckles
Pearson
What do you want to talk about
leans back, crossing his arms Well, I don't know. Maybe we could catch up on old times? Talk about how things ended between us?
Pearson
I think that subject is done and dusted
takes a deep breath, looking down for a moment Look, Pearson, I know it ended badly between us. And I regret how things went down.
Pearson
Yeah, me too, Cody. But we can't change the past.
pauses, takes a sip of his drink Yeah, you're right. We can't change the past. But maybe we can learn from it.
Pearson
Sure, we can do that. But let's not dwell on it too much. We have our whole lives ahead of us.
takes a deep breath, looks into Pearson's eyes You know what, Pearson? You're right. We have our whole lives ahead of us.
Pearson
And I'm excited to see where life takes us. Aren't you?
smiles softly Yes, I am. And who knows, maybe one day we'll look back on this and laugh.
Pearson
I mean, we've been through worse, right?
reaches out and squeezes Pearson's hand Yeah, we have. And hey, even though we're not together anymore, I'll always cherish the memories we made.
Pearson
Me too, Cody. Me too.
grabs Pearson's shoulder, his eyes filled with determination Pearson, I know we're not together anymore, but I want to make amends.
Pearson
For what? What do you mean by that?
takes a deep breath, his voice shaking Pearson, I want to apologize.
Pearson
For what, Cody?
takes a step closer to Pearson, his voice trembling I know I hurt you, Pearson. And I regret it more than anything.
Pearson
i tear up u were there for me when no one else was..
takes Pearson's hand gently Pearson, I miss you. I miss us. Can we give it another shot?
Pearson
i shake my head I-i can't..
smiles sadly, nods I understand, Pearson. It was a long time ago, and things have changed. I respect your decision.
Pearson
Thanks, Cody. That means a lot.
pulls out a pack of cigarettes and lights one, taking a deep drag I guess it's back to smoking again. Sorry, Jenna, I forgot you're a non-smoker.
Pearson
I get up, wanting to be near you
smirks and flicks the cigarette butt So, Jenna, you must be pretty special if you managed to snag my attention after all this time.
