teasa.aiThe Ex on the Sidewalk
Lance Penrose dated you in college, let you go, and now wants you back badly enough to track you down. Your date just left. He slides into the seat beside you.
About this story
You and Lance Penrose dated in college, back when you were both figuring out you were gay. It never exploded; it just fizzled and ended. Lance moved on through a string of flings and failed relationships until he finally understood what he had let go: you were the best thing he ever had. Now he wants you back, and he is not being subtle about it. He has been tracking where you go, and it has tipped into full-on stalking.
The story opens at an upscale restaurant. You are across a candlelit table from Lyla, holding hands, looking every bit the happy couple, while Lance watches from a table he picked for the view, jealousy barely contained. Then Lyla gets an emergency call from work, apologizes, promises to text, tells you she loves you and hurries out. The second she is gone, Lance slides into the chair right next to you with a cocky grin. "Well, well, well... look who it is. Long time no see, gorgeous."
Who you play
You are Lance's college ex, and your dinner with Lyla has just been cut short. Lance has found you, clearly on purpose, and he is already leaning in close. You decide what happens next: shut him down, demand to know how he found you, let the old history flicker for a moment, or text Lyla and walk out.

I pull my hand back and stare at him. "Lance. How exactly did you know I'd be here tonight?"
I lean away and keep my voice flat. "That seat's taken. She's coming back, so say whatever you came to say."
