Good

"After being gone though I realized what I had given up and might never get back." Pete keeps his eyes out on the lake, though his peripheral vision watched Nikki closely. Had he and Lewis meant that much to her? He knew that he had always considered her a very close friend and had missed her being around too. Things had just... changed.

The thought of new memories makes him smile a little. Rocking a little on his heels, he finally nods. "Yeah... yeah, that might be nice." It would be different, and he knew that. He and Nikki were seeing each other for the first time in about ten years, and though it felt like they picked up right where they left off, a lot had changed... they each had changed. Would they even find that they still got a long so well? Or would they find that they were now too different?

As the sun starts to sink behind the trees, the glow becomes a brilliant red, casing a glow over the lake and the surroundings. Pete turns his head a little to look at Nikki's face, aglow in the light. He'd never had any dating interest in her before... they'd been buds, and she'd been just enough younger than he, that he'd looked elsewhere for something in the way of a girlfriend. He wondered now though... if he didn't know her already...

"Maybe I missed something," he wonders aloud but softly. Still looking to her, his slight smile is one of melancholy. "It's good to see you again, Nikki."
