king wasn’t really paying attention, he was just walking around. taking everything in. a lot had changed in ten years. news shops and restaurants. sometimes someone would stop him and say hi or catch him up on the latest gossip. while the shops might have changed but seagrove’s people didn’t. king made his way to the boardwalk, taking in where he worked for a short period of time before he left. he sees someone that looks familiar and then he sees astrid. he loses his breath. she was as beauitful… no. more beauitful now than when he left. “astrid. hi. this morning.god, it’s so nice to see you.”
“king.” she looks at him for a moment, and can’t believe that he’s back. for a moment, it’s like he never left. but he did and it had been a long time. ten years. god, he looked good. healthy. she wanted to know everything, but it was like her words for broken for a moment. she didn’t know what to say to him. “it’s so nice to see you, too.” she doesn’t waste any time, wrapping her arms around him for a tight hug. “god, i missed you to much. it’s been so long.”
