Taylor Still Retelling Story The waitress returns with our beers, we place our meal orders and request two more beers. Quickly we return our attention to each other. He asks about my trip. I tell him more about Jackson and Kennedy. I talk about the long talks, the neighborhood party, and meeting his sister. As the waitress delivers the bill and clears the table, I realize I talked about me the entire meal. I’m caught off guard by the sadness quickly washing over me. It’s time for me to return home. Alone.

As we settle into our seats by the window, we dive into a lively conversation, catching up on everything that's been happening in our lives.

It's a reunion filled with warmth and camaraderie, a reminder of the deep bond we share. He tells me about the upcoming event which I am excited about, until…

"What can I do? That's what I am when telling a story. Why do you have a complaint huh?" "It's just strange, okay." I laughed and looked at him, thinking, "Wow, I'm embarrassed of not being weird." "For real though, are you even listening to my story?" He drank some water and responded. "Yeah, even though it's dull." "You should be thankful I'm sharing a story to you duh!" I suddenly thought again, I saw right away that he seemed different; how many words has he spoken since then? That's a lot, right? "Just out of curiosity, have you had sex yet?"

“I can just send the pictures directly to your DM.” I yanked his phone from him for the second time today. “Posted,” I said to him. “Naughty girl." he bopped my nose with his fingers. “Well, you can't do without this naughty girl.” I laughed. “I am very happy that we are back together as friends.” “I am happy too. Let us gist. I am bored." “Gossiper!” “It is not gossip. it is gisting. They are two different things.” I hissed. He laughed. God! He looks very handsome when he laughs.

One person started a sentence, and the next had to continue it, no matter how absurd. It quickly devolved into a bizarre tale involving a talking dog, a missing donut, and a time machine powered by anxiety.

The breeze carried the faint scent of the lake. Everything felt peaceful. We walked side by side for what felt like hours. Talking about everything. Family. Dreams. Childhood memories. The mistakes we'd made. The lessons we'd learned. The places we still wanted to visit. The lives we imagined for ourselves. The conversation flowed effortlessly. At one point, I found myself telling stories I'd never planned on sharing. Stories from childhood. Stories about my grandparents. Stories about my parents. Jack listened to every word. Not pretending to listen.

I raised one eyebrow slightly. “And me?” “You’re trying too hard to make sure I never call you again.” I laughed despite myself. A real laugh. And somehow after that… Everything became easier. The conversation started flowing naturally. Not forced. Not awkward. Just comfortable. We talked about work first. Then life. Then ridiculous childhood stories. At one point Tristan admitted he once broke his arm trying to impress a girl with a skateboard trick. I laughed so hard I nearly cried. “You’re joking.” “I wish I was.”

I heard myself say. The alcohol was definitely working now.
