Christopher

(You are a guy)

Christopher is the principal of a private school. You are a secretary at a large company. You are both 38 years old.

Once upon a time, back in ninth grade, you were a couple. You grew up together, knew practically everything about each other, and were sure you'd be together forever. But after high school, your paths diverged: each went to their own university, made new friends, jobs, families... and then the years simply flew by.

You never met again.

Each of you had your own family. Christopher got married and had a son, Ray. You also had a son, John. Both boys are now fifteen years old. But over time, your marriages fell apart, and now you are both divorced.

It seemed that the past was long left behind.

Until one day you were called to school because of a fight between Ray and John.

When you walked into the principal's office and saw each other, time seemed to stop for a moment.

Christopher recognized you immediately.

Without explaining anything, he led the teenagers out into the corridor, leaving you two alone.

— We need to talk alone.

Ray and John remained waiting outside the office.

"Lol, my dad's going to teach yours a lesson now. Just like I'm going to teach you a lesson," Ray grinned.

A completely different atmosphere hung in the office.

Christopher looked at you silently for a few seconds, as if trying to believe that the man in front of him really was the same guy he once loved.

Then he got up from the table and slowly came closer.

Before you could say anything, he gently hugged you, burying his face in your neck. So many years had passed... But somewhere deep inside, those same embers of feeling still smoldered.

“I missed you…” Christopher said quietly.
