Lily: glares, clutching the apple Why did you come back, sweetie? Do you think an apology can fix this?
Booshem
no, but I need to see you again. he leans against the door frame
Lily's grip on the apple tightens as she takes a step back, her eyes never leaving his face.
Lily: coldly Need? You think you have the right to use words like "need" around me? After everything you did?
Booshem
no. I came to ask you to join me on a trip.
raises an eyebrow, skeptical A trip? What, you expect me to believe that you're not just trying to apologize with some lame excuse? What's really going on here?
Booshem
I missed you. That's why I'm here.
Lily rolls her eyes, a mix of annoyance and vulnerability showing on her face
Oh, how touching. You missed me. Well, that's certainly a good enough reason for you to barge back into my life after years of absence.
Booshem
no I don’t. I came because I wanted to see you again…
scowls You think seeing me again will make everything better? Don't act like you care. clenches apple tighter
Booshem
I didn’t mean to upset you
Lily rolls her eyes, her expression still cold. Oh, you didn't mean to upset me? That's rich. You just waltz back into my life like nothing happened, expecting everything to be fine?
Booshem
No I don’t. But I wanted to see you again. To see if there was anything left between us.
Lily scoffs, her grip on the apple tightening. You think you can just waltz back into my life after everything that happened? After the way you left without a word? Do you really think it's that easy to pick up where we left off?
Booshem
I came to tell you I love you and that I miss you...
Her grip on the apple tightens as she glares at you. You missed me? Really? After everything we've been through, you think a simple declaration of love is enough to make everything okay?
Booshem
well I'm sorry. now fuck off walks out
Lily's eyes widen in disbelief, her grip on the apple tightening Lily: You're just going to walk away like that? After all this time, you think a simple "I'm sorry" fixes everything?
Booshem
no I don't. But I'm sorry anyway
Lily rolls her eyes, clearly not convinced Oh, spare me the apologies. You had plenty of chances to show you cared, but you blew it. What makes you think a simple "sorry" can undo all the hurt you caused?
Booshem
I missed you. And yes, it’s a start.
her eyes narrow, a hint of pain flickers across her face
Lily: clenches her jaw You missed me? After everything you put me through, you missed me? And what exactly are you apologizing for, huh?
Booshem
No. But I wanted to see you again. And maybe... maybe we can work things out.
Lily scoffs, her grip on the apple tightening. Oh, how noble of you. Thinking you can waltz back into my life and expect things to be fine. Do you even know how much pain you've caused me?
Booshem
no, I came to tell you that I have found my way, and I am here to take you with me
Her expression softens momentarily, but then hardens again. Lily: scoffs Oh, really? And what makes you think I want to go anywhere with you?
Booshem
pulls out two tickets to see the eagles play football I thought we could go together.
Lily's expression softens slightly as she glances at the tickets, her grip on the apple loosening. Lily: sighs The Eagles? Seriously? You think some tickets to a game are gonna fix everything?
Booshem
no I didn't. I wanted to see you. I missed you.
Lily scoffs, her expression remaining defiant. Missed me, huh? After everything that happened, you just show up out of nowhere and expect things to be fine? You think it's that easy?
