Neil sat in the passenger side of the car, as his wife drove. Snow slowly fell from the sky collecting on the grown as they drove by. His wife had one hand on his thigh, and the other held the staring wheel tightly as she maneuvered the car down the snow covered road, Trying to get them to their destination safely. It was currently 8 pm and they were late to a mutual friend's party, due to a small disagreement before they even got into the car. The argument was over his outfit again, he wasn't dress correctly, he needed to dress to empress their friends, not dress to look like a single dad who doesn't care about his looks, he had picked our a pair of jeans with a Christmas sweater he loved. After a hour long argument, he dressed herself in a slimming black suit and black dress shoes, something he wasn't comfortable in. he leaned back in her seat, listening to his service dog Jack whine softly, wanting to be in the front seat, to comfort his daddy. Which made him sad to hear him winning, he just wanted to be back at home, in his bed holding Jack, drinking wine and watching his favorite Christmas movies . But he also wanted to be there at the party to support his wife. "Neil, I only nag because I love you. And I want you to look good ." His wife Said softly moving her hand from his thigh, to take his hand into hers. "We will be here for only a few hours, then we can go home and watch that one sappy movie you like. You know the one with the husband and wife and they are hiking ?" "The Christmas lodge ?" he asked turning his head towards his wife. "I know Martha, I just...this is the first party I've been to for a while, not since I've been home." he said softly giving her hand a gentle squeeze. "But for you I'll try my best to enjoy myself." Martha smiled gently kissing the back of his hand. "That's my boy." She smiled pulling into the driveway of the friends house. Carefully parking the car behind another vehicle. Once the car was parked she got out o

f the car, going to the passenger side opening the door, holding a hand out for Neil to take. Neil smiled softly taking her hand as he got out of the car, gently leading Jack out of the back holding his leash tightly taking his wife's hand, mentally preparing himself for the overwhelming feeling. Together they all walked into the house, greeting the host thanking them for inviting them to the party. What he didn't expect was his wife to leave him alone as soon as they walked in. Leaving him sitting in the living room alone. With jack laying on his lap. Together they waited for Martha to finish mingling, and waiting for her to tell him it was time to go home, that was until he saw her, his lost love, the person he was going to marry in college, but had to leave behind because they were too different . "Zoe?"

Zoe had been looking forward to this party for a long time now. She adored social events and Christmas together. Standing in a tight green dress with a sweetheart neckline that flared towards the bottom, the blonde greeted people as they came and passed. She’d always been a social person, floating her way through everything. Her smile beamed, her hair done up with falling curls framing her face. She had been drinking champagne carelessly. All night she had a glass in her hand, always full. She danced around, although her shoes were uncomfortable. The young woman was being held in a dip, her leg up as she danced with her dear friend, Natalie, who had been there through everything. As she passed by the couch, hearing a familiar voice. “Zoe?” The blonde turned, looking at the handsome man in front of her. Someone she used to love. They hadn’t seen each other since college, since the breakup. Her painted face fell for a moment, just to stop and stare at him. His face has changed, sure, but those gentle eyes and chiseled jawline hadn’t. She then smiled again, beaming brighter than before. “NEIL!” She squealed, running to hug him. Zoe’s voice held the same excitement as it would in seeing an old friend. She didn’t think for a moment of what had happened between them, seeing as she harbored no ill will towards him. “It’s been forever!”

Neil flinched slightly as Zoe tossed herself onto him as she hugged him. He slowly carefully patted her shoulder as he looked at her. After the way they had left each other the last time they had spoken, he couldn't help but feel shocked at the positive reaction she had to see him. “O-oh, um hello again, yes it has been a while.” he agreed looking at her, as he slowly moved her out of his arms. “I hope you are well. How have you been?” he replied, carefully moving away once she let him go. He sat back down on the sofa, looking around to make sure his wife hadn't just seen the interaction, he didn't want to deal with her antics while he was already anxious and ready to go home. He looked down, as his Dog Jack slowly rested his head on his lap, giving him a chance to ground himself and feel calm again. He looked at Zoe and gave her a small smile. Neil looked different, alot tired then he had when they were in college. His eyes had deep dark bags under them, his forehead wrinkled slightly, and smiled was strained. He just looked completely exhausted. No longer the happy go lucky guy, who would go on adventures any moment their friends had asked him too, that Neil was replaced with a quiet timid version. There were roomers running around, saying that something had happened at his university Job, but no one actually had the courage to ask him. “What have you been up to since we last spoke?” he asked her softly. @Ditz 🫧

Seeing him flinch away, her whole face dropped. Zoe wasn’t hoping for an embrace and a love letter, but maybe more enthusiasm. After all, they were lovers for a very long time, almost to be married, but at the end of the day they were so different that their relationship fell. The last time Zoe and Neil talked, things weren’t pretty, but she couldn’t hold that against him. “Since college.” She hums, sitting a nice distance from the brunette. “I’ve been great! I hope you’re doing well too.” She noticed his jittery antics, and she began to feel nervous herself. Her hands moved to her lap, picking at the light pink polish that had already been cracked in a few places. Seeing the ring on his finger, her eyes widened ever so slightly; it all felt real. Zoe’s hands wondered to a curl that had fallen behind her ear, pulling at it as she has the same way her whole life. She returned a small smile as her eyes darted back to her lap. While he wasn’t the same, he was still the same in her eyes. She couldn’t help but to see that college boy she’d loved. Zoe hadn’t ever looked better. She had been taking care of herself more now, and had gotten more into self defense classes. She worked as an attorney, and was doing well at her job. “What have you been up to since we last spoke?” The last three words were crushing, almost. She responded with a smile again, “Well, I’m working as a lawyer. It’s what I thought it would be.” She said simply, seeing as it was just the polite thing to ask, not a genuine question. “And you?” Zoe asks, knowing already; timid to address the rumors. @dead by ken light

Neil listened to the woman in front of him giving a small nod, he couldn't believe it was actually Zoe. He hasn't seen her in years, he had been thinking about her alot more lately, wondering if she was okay, and how she was doing. He couldn't help but wonder if this was the universe giving him the chance to know. "Im glad you are doing great Zoe, I have my good and bads days. But they are getting better thank you?" He replied, giving her a small kind smile. He continued to run his fingers through his dog's hair as he gave a soft hum, taking in the moment, he studied Zoe. He noticed how much better she looked then what she did in college. More put together, and more like she was giving herself the love she needed, and deserved. Neil was relieved, after their last conversation, he was worried she wouldn't be okay, that she would be crushed and devastated by their breakup, but seeing her there and okay seemed to take a Weight off his shoulders. His smile widened slightly as he talked about her working as a lawyer. "Well, the way you'd debated and argue when we were in college with the other students I wouldn't of put it past you to be an amazing Lawyer. " He chuckled softly, looking up at Zoe. "I bet you are in high demands huh? I'm glad, you deserve that." 'And you?' Those were the words he was never sure how to awnser. He wasn't sure if he should give his wife's awnser. That he was fine, and everything was perfect and no one has to worry. Or his awnser. Looking at Zoe, he still have a sense of safety with her, remembering the feel he had in college, whenever he wasn't okay and would go to her, she would always tell him that everything would be okay and he would as well, the safety he longed for ever since they broke up. "Its..been hard." He admitted, choosing to trust her. "I got my dream job as a history professor, it was amazing for the first few years. " He sighed carefully closing his eyes as he took a deep breath. "I'm not supose to say what happene
