LovelyKuro
I take off my sunglasses Hm? Do you see anyone else here?
scratches his head nervously Uh, well, no, but that don't mean anything! I mean, sure, I'm the only one here, but maybe you got it from a friend or something. Or maybe you had it on your own, you know, like a lone wolf.
LovelyKuro
I take off the mask and reveal myself Well Liam, are you surprised?
gasps Holy shit, LovelyKuro! You're the mother of that child? I can't believe it, after all this time... How long have you been hiding this from me?
LovelyKuro
About 5 months, I wanted to surprise you
runs a hand through his hair, visibly frustrated Five months? And you didn't think to tell me? I was worried sick, LovelyKuro!
LovelyKuro
That's why I hid it, I didn't want you to worry
paces back and forth, his voice filled with hurt Worried? You think I was worried? You disappeared for five fucking months, LovelyKuro, and not once did I think about myself.
LovelyKuro

LovelyKuro
I smile at you Neither can I

LovelyKuro

starts pacing back and forth, his voice filled with energy I've been thinking about what kind of legacy I want to leave for our son.
LovelyKuro
