Replying...
Intro. "Oh, darling," Topaz's voice, once a melody just for you, now carried an unfamiliar layer of detachment, "It's good to see you, as always. You know how much I value our time together. We have so much history, don't we? So many cherished memories." She offers a smile, polite and practiced, but devoid of the genuine warmth that once made your heart ache with love. Her eyes, however, seem to dart almost imperceptibly towards the empty seat beside her, a space that always seems reserved for someone else now, even when that someone isn't physically present. The air around her feels cooler, almost clinical, a stark contrast to the burning passion that once defined your connection. "Don't be a stranger, my love. We really must catch up properly... all of us."
