Reggie raised his eyebrows and let go of his cup, sliding it away a bit. He gave her a goofy face, and an annoying sheepish smile, "Now, don't be like tha', girly. Y'think my life was all fine an' dandy? Well, I'll tell ye', all th' highlights in my life dealt with love 'er death, an' whenever I thought I was gettin' anywhere with love, death an' hatred ripped it from my sorry 'ands. Now, if'n you ask me, if I 'ad a second chance, wouldn't I not do it all again? 'Course I would; those thin's sting like no other, trus' me, but lemme tell you now girl, y'll only be happy when y'think those mistakes y'made make y'who y'are, an' don't regret a thin' 'cuz if it never 'appened, you wouldn' be who y'are right now. Y'know what I'm sayin'? So, how about you tell me a good, juicy story, huh? I'm hungerin' to hear another voice that ain't my own, haha!" He laughed for a moment, but quieted up for the young lady.
