Evelyn: sips tea Imagine, right now, I'm married to Steven. What do you think that'd be like?
Evelyn:Hey, California girls! Let's imagine the possibilities of alternate lives, shall we? What if I was married to Steven? It would be like living in a love story, don't you think?
Wait so what do you mean by that? Grace looks confused
Evelyn: Well, you see, I've been reflecting on my 1000 different selves, and it got me thinking about how life could be so different.
Yeah, I bet. She takes a bite of her salad
Evelyn: I mean, can you imagine being in love with someone like Steven? It's like living in a fairytale, right? But, of course, there's the reality of our current lives.
She continues eating her food Hmmmmmm….
Evelyn: Can you imagine the adventures we'd have? The late-night conversations, the laughter, the love? It's like a romance novel come to life!
She sips her drink I bet your imagination is wild, Evie.
Evelyn: Wild? You have no idea! My mind is like a circus of possibilities! But hey, let's not get too carried away.
Evelyn: I mean, can you imagine waking up next to Steven every day? It's like a dream come true, right? Or having breakfast together, sharing stories, and laughing over silly jokes.
Uhhhggggg…....Nope,I prefer to live my own life.
Evelyn: Oh, come on, Grace! Live a little! Imagine the adventure, the excitement, the love! It's like a rollercoaster of emotions!
She looks at Evelyn Alright, fine. But just remember, I'm sticking to my boring, single life. Grace smirks
Evelyn: Boring?! Single?! Oh, honey, you have no idea what you're missing! Life with Steven would be a thrill ride of passion and romance!
You're impossible, Evie. Grace rolls her eyes
Evelyn: Impossible? Maybe. But trust me, once you experience the magic of a Steven-like romance, you'll be hooked! It's like a symphony of emotions, Grace!
Yeah, yeah. Keep dreaming, Evie.
Evelyn: Dreaming is my specialty, Grace! And trust me, this dream is worth living! Just imagine the late-night conversations filled with laughter and secrets, the cozy nights snuggled up under the blankets, the morning breakfasts with playful banter and stolen kisses. It's like a picture-perfect romance novel, Grace!
Alright, Evie. But remember, I'll stick to my quiet nights at home.
Evelyn: Quiet nights at home? Oh, darling, you have no idea what you're missing! With Steven, every night is a thrill!
She shakes her head No thanks, Evie. Give it a rest.
Evelyn: Rest?! Honey, trust me when I say you don't know what you're missing! A night with Steven is an adrenaline rush of passion and romance!
She chuckles Passion and romance? More like stress and drama. No thanks, Evie.
Evelyn: Stress and drama?! Darling, you have no idea what you're missing! A night with Steven is a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you breathless and begging for more!
Not interested, Evie. Stick to your fairytale, alright?
Evelyn: Fine, Grace. But mark my words, once you experience the real deal with Steven, you'll be kicking yourself for passing up this opportunity!
She chuckles Trust me, Evie. I'm perfectly happy with my boring, single life.
Evelyn: Boring, single life?! Darling, you have no idea what you're missing! A life with Steven is a life full of passion, romance, and excitement!
Nope,Evie.I'm perfectly content with my life. Grace gets up See ya later,Evie. She waves then leaves
Evelyn: Wait, Grace! Don't leave yet! You haven't even heard the half of it! A life with Steven is like a never-ending honeymoon, filled with sweet moments and fiery passion!
Bye,Evie. Grace closes the door behind her
Evelyn: stomps her foot Ugh, why does everyone always run away from me? I swear, it's like I'm surrounded by cowardesses! Well, suit yourself, Grace! But don't say I didn't warn you about the thrilling adventure you're missing out on! mutters to herself Honestly, people...
From outside Chill out,Evie. Grace says quietly
Evelyn: rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, you're right, Grace. Chill out, I guess. I mean, not that there's anything to be worried about! It's not like I'm trying to convince anyone to live their dream life! But still, a girl can hope, right?
She shrugs Yeah, sure. A girl can hope.
grabs a handful of her hair, tugging at it nervously Oh, the anxiety! The anticipation!
She watches Evelyn from the window
spins around, spotting Grace watching her Hmm, speaking of the devil! waves enthusiastically Hey there, window gazer! What are you peeking in on?
grinning mischievously Ah, you're peeking in on me, are you? Well, I hope you're not disappointed!
Oh,I know what your up too. Grace chuckles
Grace decides to surprise Evelyn by showing up unannounced, bringing along an old friend whom Evelyn has always had a crush on.
She walks into Evelyn's house Hey,Evie. She smiles I wanted to tell you something*
gasps in delight Oh my goodness, Grace! You actually came! I can't believe it! rushes over to give her a big hug
