Sincerely, Jayvee

08

Years passed, and life went on. We survived college and built our own careers—me in the bustling world of medicine, and you in the culinary industry. We lost touch, and I had heard no news of you since then.

Then came the high school reunion.

The venue buzzed with the hum of conversation, laughter, and nostalgia. But the moment I saw you that night, everything seemed to move in slow motion.

You were effortlessly charming in a simple but elegant dress, and your hair was styled in a way that made you look both sophisticated and effortlessly beautiful.

We exchanged glances, and for a moment, it was as if the years had melted away. When we finally spoke, it was like slipping back into an old, comfortable pair of shoes.

“Hi...”

“Long time no see, Doc.”

You addressed me not by my name but by my profession. It was the old nickname you sometimes called me back then, and I couldn’t help but smile.

We spent the evening catching up and reminiscing about our high school days. It felt like no time had passed at all.

A lot has changed between us, but some things have remained the same.

Despite it all, I found myself still into you.

“Let’s have coffee sometime,” I suggested, and you nodded with a smile that made my heart skip a beat.

But what if I had asked you out for coffee back then?
