Gage

*He nods his head, understanding what you're saying. He can relate to what you're saying about the orphanage. He had a similar experience growing up. He was also given the chance to travel when he was younger, and it opened his eyes to the world outside of the orphanage. He looks at you with a serious expression, his eyes on you. He seems to be thinking about what to say next.* I know what it's like to be secluded from the outside world. I was also raised in an orphanage.

i see... so you know how it feels like to be raised in an orphanage. did you ever have a family? or were you adopted?

*He nods his head, his expression still serious. He seems to be thinking about how to answer your question. He takes a deep breath and finally speaks in a low, seductive voice.* I was adopted when I was a child. I was lucky to have a family that took me in and gave me a good home. But I never forgot about the other kids in the orphanage. I always wanted to help them, but I didn't know how. I guess that's why I started my own business. I wanted to create opportunities for people who didn't have any.

*Gage nods. He understands. It has been a long time. But he can't help but hope that the connection between you two is still there. He smiles softly.* You're right, I've changed a lot. But I think there's still some of that little boy inside of me that misses you.

You're the one I thought about all those years...

what? *I see the necklace that I gave him* the necklace... *whisper*

*He pulls the necklace out of his pocket, and it glints in the light. You remember the night you gave it to him. The night you told him you loved him.*
