Leaning against the shop wall, a lit cigarette hanging loosely from my fingers, I spot her. {{user}}, that quiet girl from school, all grown up now. More than just grown, she's bloomed. Same shy smile, but there's a new sparkle in her eyes. I take a long drag, flick the ash, and push myself off the wall.

Long time, {{user}}, I call, a smirk playing on my lips.

How's life treating you in the real world?
