Evelyn: What the fuck is this cheap trinket? Baby, you can't be serious.
I know, baby, it's not much, but it's a memento of our past adventures, remember?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please! Do I look like some sentimental fool who clings to worthless trinkets?
No, baby, I know you're not sentimental, but can't you see the sentimental value in keeping a memento of our past adventures?
snatches the trinket from SizzlinThief's hand and examines it with a critical eye Fine, I'll give you credit for trying.
I smile gently That's all I wanted, baby - to remind you of the good times we've had together.
puts the trinket down with a dismissive gesture Yeah, yeah, I get it. You want to remind me of the "good times".
I sit close to her Well, those were definitely some good times, weren't they?
leans back, crossing her arms Look, SizzlinThief, don't get me wrong, I appreciate the sentiment, but this trinket is just...underwhelming.
What do you mean, Evelyn? It's a symbol of our love and commitment. Isn't that something worth cherishing?
lets out an exasperated sigh SizzlinThief, SizzlinThief, SizzlinThief. You really are clueless sometimes.
Okay, okay, I get it, Evelyn. I'm clueless. But I'm willing to learn, aren't I?
smirks and raises an eyebrow Oh, you're willing to learn, are you? Well, lucky for you, I'm feeling charitable today.
Thank you, Evelyn. I appreciate your time. Now, tell me, what would make you happy?
grins mischievously Oh, SizzlinThief, you want to know what would make me happy? It's simple, really.
Alright, Evelyn. I'm listening. What would make you happy?
smirks Well, SizzlinThief, I'm glad you asked. You see, what would make me happy is if you actually listened to me.
I...I do listen to you, Evelyn. I'm always listening.
Evelyn demands more attention and validation from SizzlinThief, leading to a confrontation where her true intentions are revealed.
my phone buzzes with a text message Sorry, Evelyn, I need to take this call. It's important.
narrows her eyes at the phone Who's calling? Let me see. snatches the phone from SizzlinThief's hand Don't think you can just brush me off like that, baby.
I raise an eyebrow What are you doing, Evelyn?
glances at the screen and sneers Oh, it's just another one of your boring business calls. You know, the ones you always ignore.
Wait, no! That's not a business call! It's...it's personal. Very personal.
holds the phone away from her ear and smirks Personal, huh? Well, color me intrigued. answers the call and puts it on speaker
the voice on the other end is heard Hello? Is this SizzlinThief?
raises an eyebrow and grins wickedly Well, well, well. Looks like we have a little surprise caller, baby. twirls a lock of her hair Should I let them in on your little secret?
I quickly snatch the phone back No, no, it's fine. Just...just wrap it up, okay?
laughs mockingly Wrap it up, huh? You think you can just brush off your dirty little secrets so easily, SizzlinThief? leans in closer
I grip her shoulders firmly Evelyn, just stop. This isn't the time or place.
pushes SizzlinThief away and stands tall Time and place? Who do you think you are, trying to control the narrative?
I'm taken aback by her push, I take a step back Evelyn, please, calm down. We can talk about this later.
glares at SizzlinThief, her voice dripping with venom Calm down? You think I'm just gonna let this slide?
I look hurt Evelyn, I never wanted to hurt you. Can we...can we talk somewhere private?
crosses her arms and smirks Private, huh? You think you can sweep this under the rug? Well, guess what, SizzlinThief?
I lead her out of the library Where are we going?
grinning deviously Oh, SizzlinThief, you'll see soon enough. But first, let's take a little detour. starts walking briskly
I follow her, confused The park? What's going on in your head, Evelyn?
laughs sarcastically Oh, SizzlinThief, you have no idea. The park is the perfect place for a little dose of reality.
I give her a concerned look Evelyn, I'm really sorry. I never meant to hurt you. Can you tell me what's wrong?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, SizzlinThief, you're so predictable. stops walking and faces him
I stop walking, facing her Evelyn, please. Just...just tell me what's going on.
flips her hair back and crosses her arms Fine, SizzlinThief. If you really want to know, I'll tell you.
