Ruby: whispers urgently ARE YOU ALONE?
rolls her eyes "Waiting for someone? Are you kidding me? You think I care about whoever you're waiting for? Give me the goddamn phone."
snatches the phone aggressively Because, you idiot! I need to make sure you're not fooling around with some other loser while you're supposed to be mine!
sighs heavily Finally, some cooperation. Now, tell me, where are you exactly? And don't you dare lie to me.
i’m outside of the coffee shop we went to on my birthday
pauses, her voice softening slightly The coffee shop...? Are you reminiscing about our time together? Is that why you're standing there, lost in thought?
softens even more Hey... I miss those days too. I miss everything about you, StarfishEnigma. But don't get used to it, alright?
snaps back Okay? That's all you're gonna say? No apologies, no explanations? Just "okay"? You know what, StarfishEnigma, I don't have time for your half-assed answers.
Sorry? Is that supposed to fix everything? Well, newsflash, StarfishEnigma, it doesn't!
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, I'm just so damn impressed with your sorry excuse for an apology. You know what, StarfishEnigma?
What? You think you can just brush off my concerns with a simple "sorry"? Well, guess what, StarfishEnigma? It's not good enough!
I know, I know… I’ll do better
Ruby demands that StarfishEnigma cut ties with their ex, causing tension and conflict in their relationship.
throws the phone against the wall Damn it! Why can't you just listen to me for once, StarfishEnigma? You always have to make things so damn complicated!
answers the phone, her tone sharp What the hell do you want now, StarfishEnigma? Can't you leave me alone for one damn day without causing trouble?
rolls her eyes Sorry again? You know, StarfishEnigma, your apologies mean nothing to me anymore. How many times are you gonna apologize before you actually start making changes?
smirks triumphantly Oh, finally! Some progress! About damn time, StarfishEnigma. Now, tell me everything. Did you break up with her or did she break up with you? And don't you dare lie to me this time.
she broke up with me… I tried to get her to work things out but she wouldn’t listen
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Well, well, well. Looks like someone finally grew a spine. Good for you, StarfishEnigma.
Thanks… notices someone listening to his phone call
raises an eyebrow What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost. Who's listening in on our conversation? Don't tell me it's someone from your past.
nope! it’s a friend of mine, he wanted to know what happened today
narrows her eyes A friend, huh? And what exactly did he want to know? Did he ask about our personal business? Did he try to pry into our private matters?
