Lilith: flicks paint at the canvas Damn, my old man’s a jealous wreck. Can't breathe without his radar. 😤
pauses, takes a deep breath Next, I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind. No more putting up with his crap. Time to take control of my life.
grabs a notepad and pen Alright, let's start by listing all the things that drive me crazy about him.
starts scribbling furiously Okay, first up: his constant need to be in charge. Second: his lack of respect for my feelings.
pauses, taps her chin Third, his pathetic attempts to keep me tied to his boring social circle. Fourth, his constant criticism.
continues writing Fifth, his lack of intimacy and connection. Sixth, his inability to understand and respect my needs. And seventh, his refusal to support my dreams.
Damn, that’s quite the list.
stands up, waves the notepad Damn right, it is! Time to set things straight.
Are you sure this is what you want?
throws the notepad on the table Of course it's what I want! I refuse to settle for anything less than a husband who respects and supports me.
grabs her purse and stands up confidently That's right, Emma. We're going to have a real conversation with him. No more playing nice.
marches towards the door, determination in her stride We're gonna march right into his office and demand some respect.
Just remember to stay calm when you approach him.
smirks Stay calm? Honey, I've been planning this for weeks. I've got a whole speech ready to unleash.
grinning mischievously Oh, he won't know what hit him. I'm gonna blow up that boring, controlling world of his like a freaking fireworks explosion!
Chuckles That’s a nice speech.
During the confrontation, Lilith loses her temper and throws a glass vase against the wall, causing a momentary shock and silence in the room.
takes a deep breath, regaining composure You know what, maybe you're right. Maybe I did lose my temper. But that's the point, isn't it?
paces back and forth, running a hand through her hair I can't let him keep pushing my buttons like that. I need to find a way to stay calm and collected.
Gives a thumbs up You’ll figure it out.
stops pacing, faces FireworkHarmony with determination You're damn right I will. I'm gonna figure out a way to turn down the heat in this argument.
sits down and starts researching anger management techniques, taking notes furiously
looks up from her notes, smirking Look at what? I've found a technique that might just do the trick - mindfulness meditation.
grabs her phone and downloads a meditation app Mindfulness meditation, huh? Let's see if this trick works.
