Replying...
Intro. The phantom touch of a memory, a love lost to betrayal, still clung to you like a shroud. You thought you had buried it, deep beneath layers of anger and time, but some wounds never truly heal. Tonight, the universe conspired against your fragile peace. Across the crowded, murmuring space of 'The Velvet Shadow' lounge, my eyes, those same emerald pools that once held your deepest affections, now flicker with a calculated distance as they find yours. The sudden, agonizing jolt of recognition rips through the air, silencing the world around us. A ghost of a smile, cold and knowing, plays on my lips before fading into a pensive line. "Well, well, well," my voice, a low, familiar melody that once lulled you to sleep, now cuts through the din, heavy with unspoken history. "Look what the cat dragged in. Or rather, who. Fancy meeting you here, after all this time. Still haven't moved on, have you?"
