  Hey, come on in. I can't believe it's been so long. You look exactly the same, but also completely different. Does that make sense? I mean, it's you. Of course it's you, but you've changed. In all the best ways. It's kind of surreal, right? Sitting here with you after all these years in the house where we used to, I don't know, make mud pies and run around up and down the stairs. I've missed you. How have you been? Fair, it's a hard question to answer after all this time. Me? I've been all right, you know? Some good, some bad. Mostly just surviving. But I was really looking forward to this. I am so, so glad you called. It's nice to see you're back in town. What did you say it was for? Oh, right. Yeah. The reunion. That makes that makes sense. Oh, yeah. I mean, I forgot that it was even happening this weekend. I wasn't really planning on going, because what's the point of a reunion when I never left this town? No, I know, it's nothing to be ashamed of, and I do love this house, the one I grew up in,

  that is, um, we started off on heavy conversation, and I would love to relive back. Let's, um, let's sit down and grab some tea and, uh, reminisce. Here you go. Do you remember the first time we met? I think about it sometimes. We were just kids, and gosh, it feels like a lifetime ago. You were such a rascal. So full of energy, always running around and getting into trouble. Not bad trouble, just the fun kid kind. Like the time we tried to build that treehouse in your backyard. You were so determined. I don't even think we had a plan. Just a pile of wood and some rusty nails. Yeah, we definitely stole those from your dad's garage. I don't think he ever knew. He probably would have been pissed. Yep, and we got about- two, maybe three boards up. And you stepped on it and it just broke. Yeah. And we just laughed and laughed like it was the funniest thing in the world. Honestly, I don't even know if I've laughed that hard since. Those were the good days, right? Life was pretty simple back then. Just you and me and whatever crazy thing our little kid brains came up with. Sometimes I think about that. Just the idea that all those adventures we had as kids, just the silly little ones of making a really poor treehouse or thinking that we were going to find some secret land in the forest and claim it as our own are just the idea. that we could have an adventure. We don't get that anymore, you know? Sometimes I really, really miss thinking that I was gonna have one more big adventure. One more big, I don't know, rush of excitement. I don't feel like that anymore. I feel like everything is set for me. Even if I found a partner, I bet it would be some boring person I met at work. And we formed a casual relationship out of convenience. And... Eventually, years down the road, I'd marry them out of obligation because we'd been together for so long, and they asked, and my parents want me to be married. I know, I know, it's stupid to think like that, it's all made up in my head, but how am I gonna make an adventure, you know? I work all the time, and... I live in my parents'old house. I don't know if it was being a kid that made me feel so alive and so like every day was an adventure, or if it was being with you, you know? Because it wasn't just the adventures. It wasn't just running around in the forest. It was also... It was also the way you always looked out for me. Like that time in middle school, when those older kids were giving me a hard time. You didn't even hesitate. You just... Stepped in. Like it was... the easiest decision you've ever made to protect me honestly sometimes sometimes i think you weren't just my best friend you were my hero do you remember that summer that we spent by the lake. We'd ride our bikes every morning and just stay out until the sun went down. Just us, skipping rocks and talking about everything and nothing. I've never felt so free, uncumbered. The way I did that summer. I think that was the first time I started to feel different about you. Not that I really understood it back then. You were just you, my favorite person. My best friend, is that silly to admit after all this time that I felt much stronger about you than either of us realized? I don't know if I even realized it. Now, until you walked in the door, until I saw you again, and I just, I got hit in the face with the way I used to feel about you. And it is so notably different than the way I feel every day. Is this ridiculous? Stop me if I'm making a fool out of myself. Okay. It's just, sitting here with you now, it's like no time has passed at all. And yet, like, lives have passed. We've both grown up. We've gone our own ways. Lived our own lives. But having you sit in my living room again, sipping tea, talking like this, it feels right, like this is where we're supposed to be. I've always wondered about you, you know? where life had taken you, if you were happy, if you ever thought about me. I sound ridiculous, don't I? Like some character in a cheesy romance movie. But it's true. I've thought about you so many times over the years, it's... It's natural. It's like breathing. It's like every other routine I have. I brush my teeth. I think about if you're happy. I go to bed every day. You know, it's just one of those things I do. One of those things I've always done since I was a kid. Can I... can I say something? Something I've... I've never said out loud before. I... I think I've always had feelings for you. Even when we were kids, there was something about you I just... You always drew me in, but I never said anything. I've never known how. We were friends and I never ever wanted to chance ruining that, because you've always been such an important part of my life. And then life happened. And we grew up, drifted apart, but those feelings, they never really went away. I'll still see something that reminds me of you, a song we used to sing, a place we used to go. And all those feelings just come rushing back. I probably sound ridiculous right now, don't I? But I just... I needed you to know. I'm not expecting anything, and you don't have to say anything. I just wanted to get it off my chest. And I wanted to be honest with you. I felt like, like you deserve my honesty. After everything we've been through, and how much you've always meant to me, the least I could do is be honest. You've always meant- so much to me. And I guess a part of me has always hoped we'd find our way back to each other. I'm already embarrassing myself, so I may as well say it. I always thought that we were cosmically meant to be together. Like I would always end up with you somehow. even when we hadn't seen each other for years. I thought that maybe you think about me the way I think about you, and the moment we saw each other again, we'd just, we'd just click, and we'd be together. And now that I'm saying it, I feel stupid and so presumptuous, because that's the way it What? You... you feel the same way? Really? Wow. I, um, I don't even know what to say right now. I'm so glad I told you. So what do we do now? I don't know what this is going to look like, but if you're willing, I'd really, really like to find out together. Who would have thought, hmm? Two kids from the same neighborhood, sitting here years later, finally figuring this out. Life is weird like that, huh? Thank you for letting me say all that and... for listening, for being you. I've missed you so much. Mm. Mm. Here is to new beginnings, to old friends.
