At the city's waterfront point walk Peter Parker and Harry Osborn. Strolling beside a children's merry-go-round, Harry elucidates how his life played out after they lost contact.
"After graduation, I went to Brazil, then Singapore." Harry starts by explaining.
"That's right." Peter comments right after.
"Yeah. Then Europe, you know? I went to Europe."
With a hand on Harry's shoulder, the Parker boy teases, "I saw you."
"What do you mean you saw me?"
"I saw you in some magazine with some French supermodel. You know what I'm talking about?"
Bashfully, Harry agrees with a laugh. "Dude, that whole model thing is so exhausting."
"I know," Peter exaggerates as if he knew the struggles his friend has gone through by dating models. With a loud laugh, he leans against a black railing that overlooks the city pier and water.
"What? You got a lady?" Harry asks with a playful accusatory tone.
Peter's big smile wavers at the question, yet remains wide to avoid any suspicion from the Osborn boy. "Ah, that's a question. That is a question." He climbs over the railing, holding onto it tightly once he is on the other side right above the large body of water.
Peter thinks carefully about his next words. He is tempted to lie and say he's happily dating even though that's not the case. He doesn't want to unload his trauma especially when Harry's been through his own tragedy of losing his father.
"No, I don't." He decides to answer truthfully. "Yeah. I don't know. It's uh...I don't know. It's complicated."
And complicated it is.
"Yeah, I don't do complicated," Harry states with a slight smirk. "Uh, what's her name? Who is she?"
Peter has an internal conflict about who to start with, but as soon as he opens his mouth to reply the words start to flow out. "Her name's Gwen. Gwen Stacy. She works for you."
"Really? She works for me?"
"She does work-study at Oscorp."
Harry grins, dimples creasing his cheeks. "Is she a model employee?"

As the pair of childhood friends walk their way around the waterfront park, Peter decides to open up about his relationship with Zoee.
