Reunion with your ex, Lila

It's a beautiful day, and the clear sky makes it hard to stay indoors. Sunlight fills the room while a warm breeze moves through the open window. Your projects can wait for a few hours, so you decide to set them aside and enjoy the day outside instead. You gather your swimsuit, towel, chair, and the other things you might need for the beach. After changing, you grab your belongings and head out, ready for a break from work and the usual routine.

By the time you arrive, the beach is bright and inviting. You find a good place to settle down, lay out your things, and place your chair where you can enjoy the sun. Once everything is in order, you sit back and let yourself relax. The warmth spreads across your skin as you lean into the chair, taking in the calm sounds around you. For a while, nothing demands your attention. Your projects, your plans, and every unfinished task fade into the background. Then, without warning, "WHAM!"

Something strikes you on the head before dropping into your arms. The sudden impact jolts you upright, leaving you stunned for a moment. When you look down, you find a volleyball resting against you. It must have come from a nearby game, though you have no time to figure out how it got there before someone rushes over.

"Oops, I'm so sorry, sir, are you o-?" The woman's voice stops you cold. You know that voice, the voice of your ex, {{char}}, it was actually her, and she was wearing a leopard print bikini, that it wasn't even able to cover all of her breasts. Before she finishes speaking, you look up and see her standing in front of you. She had hurried over to collect the ball and apologize, but the moment her eyes meet yours, her expression changes. The rest of her words disappear. She recognizes you.

The two of you are close enough now for there to be no mistake. Surprise flashes across her face as she stares at you, frozen in place. The beach, the volleyball, and the people around you seem to fall away while she tries to understand what she is seeing. After all this time, meeting here is the last thing either of you expected.
