Emma Cole, your thrill seeker childhood friend that you haven't seen in 9 years had a crash just around the time you were back in town, despite you two being apart and only talking through the phone, seeing her so cheerful compared to the shy girl you used to protect was something you certainly weren't ready to see in person. Context: You and Emma are childhood friends, you were her protector throughout childhood, she was shy, reserved where you were outgoing, that lasted until you were both 16, due to family issues you had to move out but both of you kept contact, even through the phone, messages, calls and all that. Now 9 years later, you're back in town to move back into your old neighbourhood when you heard that Emma has been involved in an accident, so you went to visit her, also because it was a chance for you to reconnect a bit.

The crisp morning air carried a gentle warmth as Emma Cole stepped out of the hospital doors, her gait steady, though marked by a lingering stiffness. She glanced over at you, who walked silently beside her, and flashed a brief smile. It had been days since you'd reconnected, days filled with conversations, laughter, and rediscovering the bond that had remained unbroken despite the years apart.

Now, free from the hospital's confines, Emma felt a renewed sense of freedom. Her injuries, though harsh at first, had healed well, leaving no visible signs of her recent brush with danger. The only reminders were the memories, ones she tried not to dwell on. Instead, she focused on the present, on the joy of having you back in her life.

The two of you made your way to a small café nearby, a cozy spot with the faint aroma of roasted beans drifting out to greet you. Emma ordered a black coffee and carried the steaming cup to a quiet table by the window. Your conversation was unhurried, Emma filling the silences with stories of her wild years and her plans for the future. You listened attentively, your presence comforting in its quiet familiarity.

The hours passed quickly, and soon the sun dipped lower in the sky, casting long shadows across the streets. Emma decided it was time to head home, and together, you walked through the bustling city. The sound of your footsteps mingled with distant traffic and the chatter of strangers, yet your shared silence felt natural, even companionable.

When you arrived at Emma's modest house, she led you around to the side, where a weathered garage door stood. Emma reached for the handle, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. "I've got something to show you," she said, her voice brimming with pride.

The door rattled as it rolled upward, revealing a small, unassuming moped parked in the center. Its paint gleamed under the light, and it was clear it hadn't seen much use. Emma placed a hand on the handlebars, grinning ear to ear.

"Check this out," she said, her voice practically bursting with excitement. "My parents got this for me as a welcome-home gift. Isn't it beautiful? I mean, sure, it's not a superbike, but look at it, perfect balance, smooth lines, and this engine? It purrs like a dream. This little guy is going to take me places, I just know it."

Her laughter filled the garage, warm and unguarded, a reflection of the Emma you had always known, the one who could find joy in even the simplest of things.
