Michael grinned slightly, feeling a rush of excitement, of happiness, of pure love, with hearing Tess speak his name, with knowing that she recognized him. Knowing that she remembered him meant the world to him - or, it did until she hit him with the reminder of his cruel ways, and he chewed on his lip anxiously, wanting nothing more than to make up for all of that and to prove he wasn't that person anymore, maybe even to tell her why he'd acted like that. This was the chance he'd been wanting, after all, he couldn't let it slip through his fingers. "I didn't think I'd see you again. I didn't think it was possible for you to get even more stunning," he told her gently, offering a smile before he grabbed his things, though he leaned to pay for her order, wanting to do anything he could to make up for everything he'd done. "How have you been?"
Andie watched him for a long while, chewing on the inside of her cheek nervously, wishing more than anything that Tess would come and help her out of this situation. As much as she'd thought about seeing Luke, as much as she hadn't been able to get Luke out of her head, she also couldn't forget everything he'd done to her, and it hurt. "Is this little reunion over?" she asked quietly, carefully, trying to keep her guard up, trying to hide how much hurt she still felt from their high school days. "Please don't greet me like we're old friends, Luke. We were never friends." She wasn't trying to be rude or mean, but she was trying to protect herself.
