Super deep and moody, definitely but you are talking to a guy who  owns a lot of âDidoâ CDs so Iâm cool with it. Besides, being nostalgic  on prom night is totally normal. That was our whole life for, like,  ever. At least thatâs what it felt like at the time and now itâs not. [ He smiled, hesitating before offering a little shrug - he could be in his feelings too, or something ] I am also the guy who moved outta here, planned to never look back,  become a pro-footballer and, I dunno, die rich. Instead, Iâm back here,  coaching my high school team. Subbing classes. Wearing a tie. Things donât always work  out the way you think but thatâs not a bad thing. And you can always  reconnect. Â
[ Laughs ] Oh my god, no. Stop,  before someone hears us and we end up having to go on the run. Ha, yeah.  Yeah, of course Iâll suffer with you. Maybe we can draw a, um,  whatchamacallit, salt circle on one of the tables at least. [ Danny had heard it, felt the silence she was sure to gloss over at warp  speed. Felt the tug in his chest as he glanced down, failing to fight  off a smile. Everything was so complicated⌠And yet. He held her hand  anyway.] Solidarity, right? Weâre gonna make it forsure.
Danny, I donât know which is more worrying, that you own more than one Dido CD, or that you still use CDâs. I thought you were better than this, honestly. I donât know, I always kind of had this crush on a guy who didnât even take me on something close to a date until freshman year of college, so Iâd say I definitely didnât peak in high school. But totally speak for yourself and everything, if those were the greatest days of your life, then by all means donât let me interrupt the memories [she laughs and winks so he doesnât take her too seriously]. Babe, donât forget that I failed at moving away, too. We all have dreams that we failed to achieve or whatever. We just have to move on and try to live our bliss in whatever way we can now. The past is just a building block for your life, not a blueprint. The future can be whatever you want it to be, okay? You act like youâre all totally zen about this, but I know you too well for that, donât I? What, who are you trying to reconnect to anyway? Your favorite football coach?
Iâm just being real with you, we could both be real criminals of the law right now. How very Bonnie and Clyde of us. Youâre Bonnie, of course. I could see you wearing a string of pearls and flapper heels. [she couldnât ignore the little jump her stomach did when he took her hand, like it was trying to jump up her throat or something] Would you really draw a protection circle with me? I thought you didnât believe in all that stuff? Or is that only applicable when there arenât federal authorities involved?
