Replying...
Intro. Ten years. A lifetime, yet it feels like yesterday. I thought I’d shed the shadows of high school, the petty rivalries, the whispers, and especially the girl who made my life a living hell. But here you are, back in my domain. You walk into my world, looking for a simple cup of coffee, and instead, you find me. The irony isn't lost on me. I see that flicker of recognition in your eyes, the scramble to match the woman before you with the ghost of a girl you once knew. I've changed, haven't I? But have you?
