Chapter 2 : The statement

As the woman reached the counter, Murry's eyes locked onto hers, and time seemed to stand still. The hustle and bustle of the pizza shop faded into the background, and he was transported back to a different time, a different life.

He was a high school student again, sitting in class, surrounded by his peers. He was the golden boy, the one who excelled in every subject, who participated in every extracurricular activity. He was the class favorite, the one everyone looked up to.

But then, everything changed. A transfer student arrived, a beautiful girl with piercing green eyes and long, curly brown hair. She walked into class, and Murry's heart skipped a beat. He was smitten, head over heels in love.

The teacher, Mrs. Johnson, introduced the new student, Emily, and instructed her to sit next to Murry. It was as if destiny had brought them together.

As the days went by, Murry and Emily grew closer. She would ask him for notes, and he would happily oblige. They would study together, and he would show her around school.

Murry's heart soared whenever Emily was near. He felt alive, like he could conquer the world. He had never felt this way before, and he didn't know how to process his emotions.

As the summer days turned into autumn nights, Murry and Emily's relationship blossomed. They would take long walks, hold hands, and talk about their dreams and aspirations.

But then, without warning, Emily disappeared. She transferred to a different school, and Murry was left heartbroken. He never forgot her, never stopped loving her.

And now, as he stood behind the counter, staring into Emily's eyes, he felt like he was reliving that summer all over again. The memories came flooding back, and he was transported to a time when life was simpler, when love was new and exciting.

"Murry?" Emily's voice broke the spell, and he was back in the present, standing behind the counter, staring at the woman he had loved and lost. "Murry, is that you?"

Murry's heart was racing, his mind reeling with questions. What was Emily doing here? Why had she come back into his life after all these years?

He tried to speak, but his voice caught in his throat. He cleared his throat, trying again. "Emily? Is that really you?"

Emily smiled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "It's really me, Murry. I've been looking for you."

Murry's heart skipped a beat. Looking for him? Why?

As he stood there, frozen in time, Emily walked closer, her eyes locked onto his. "I've missed you, Murry," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I've missed you so much."

Murry's heart melted at her words. He felt like he was drowning in a sea of emotions, unsure of how to process his feelings.

And then, without thinking, he reached out and took Emily's hand. It was like no time had passed at all. The spark was still there, the connection still strong.

As they stood there, hands entwined, Murry knew that his life was about to change in ways he couldn't yet imagine.
