"How have you been?"

"Fine. You look… well. Better."
"I feel better."
"Well, you look it too."
"You've changed quite a bit."
"People have a tendency to do that."
"You cut your hair."
"It was too long."
"I like it."
"More than my long hair?"
"I like your long hair more."
"Oh."
"But this looks nice. You don't look like yourself anymore though."
"Is that good?"
"It's different."
"I'm not sure what that means."
"Neither do I."
"I got it cut this way a while ago."
"When?"
"The week after that night."

"Oh."
"I needed a change."
"I'm sorry."
"It's in the past."
"I suppose."
"Ancient history."
"Even old wounds can still hurt…"
"What's that mean?"
"I'm not sure."
"How did that night hurt you?"
"It hurt you, so it hurt me."
"You didn't have to hurt me in the first place."
"Ancient history."
"I suppose."

"I brought a date."
"You look happy… with her."
"I am."
"She's very pretty."
"She is."
"Looks intelligent."
"Very."
"Where did you meet?"
"Work."
"How's that?"
"What?"
"Work."
"Bland."
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault."
"No, it's not."
"No."
"Well, she's quite pretty."
"Thank you."

"I didn't bring anyone."
"Why not?"
"I'm too busy for a relationship."
"You were like that when you were young."
"How's that?"
"Work, work, work."
"Well."
"You placed work above me."
"With good reason, too."
"I'm sorry."
"You mentioned that."
"You're still upset."
"Yes."
"Will you forgive me?"
"How could I?"

"I didn't mean to."
"I know you didn't."
"You know, yet you linger on the past."
"I try not to discuss the past."
"You just brew on it."
"I suppose."
"Well I'm sorry."
"Thank you."

"I hope you find someone."
"As do I."
"Don't think about what happened in the past."
"I'll try."
"Will you?"
"I will."
"It was nice to see you again."
"I'm glad we ran into each other."
"I doubt we'll see one another again."
"It is unlikely."
"I should probably leave. She's getting impatient."
"Take care of her."
"I promise."
"Have a good night."
"I will. I love you, you know."
"I love you too."
