she released me from her tight hug but kept her hand on my right shoulder and said "It's been so long. How are you? What have you been up to?"  
"I'm great, haven't been up to much just one really important task" I replied
"ooo" she cooed "how exciting. And what is this task?"
I fumble a little trying to find the right words "I've been searching for somethings I lost." I mumble
"And what may those be?" she asks with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
I keep my head bent avoiding her gaze but then I look her dead in the eye and say "My voice, My confidence and Myself." ~ expert from a book I'll never write
