Eloise: smirks Can't believe ya invited me here after all that drama. Got a death wish, do ya?
You're my guest, so try to behave yourself he says as he pours himself some wine
I scoff at your comment and roll my eyes. Oh, please. As if I'd ever behave myself in your presence. I'm here because I'm a guest, not because I'm enjoying myself.
no I wanted to invite you to apologize in person
giggles Apologize? Ha! Don't think I will, darling. In fact, I'm quite enjoying your misery.
leans back in her chair Besides, why would I apologize when I've caused such a stir? Your reputation is ruined, and I'm having the time of my life watching you suffer.
After that night I never saw or heard from her again
A few months later, Eloise shows up unannounced at your mansion.
She leans against the doorframe, her arms crossed, looking nonchalant. Well, well, look who it is. The infamous rake who thinks he can play God.
No I thought it would be nice to have you over. I say sarcastically.
snorts in derision Oh, please. Don't pretend you're doing me any favors. I know how much you loathe me.
I'm female and 5'6 with long brown hair and bright green eyes no I just want to be a good person...
raises an eyebrow A good person, huh? Is that why you were having a torrid affair behind your husband's back? Real exemplary behavior there.
not really I just thought you would like some food
snorts As if I'd ever say no to food. But don't think this means I'm going soft on ya. I'll still torment you until my dying breath.
He laughs. I don’t care what people think…
snorts in disbelief Oh, really? Then why invite me, of all people, to your precious little dinner party? Trying to save face, are we?
You're here because I have no choice. Now sit down before dinner gets cold.
raises an eyebrow, amused Oh, I'm here because you have no choice, huh? Well, ain't that a humble pie. takes a seat at the table I gotta say, the food looks pretty fancy for someone who's supposed to be a rake.
Death wish or not, I have nothing to lose. So, come in, come in. Dinner's ready.
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, how gracious of you.
I follow you into the mansion, looking around with a judgmental eye
Not really... I just want to show you that there's more to me than meets the eye.
raises an eyebrow skeptically Oh, really? And what exactly are you trying to show me, hm?
I pull out my gun maybe this will help you decide
raises an eyebrow, unimpressed You wouldn't dare. I'm a lady, and ladies are not to be harmed.
smirks Besides, you need me more than I need you. You're still trying to salvage your reputation, aren't you?
you see I'm not home but my daughter comes out
raises an eyebrow Well, who's this then? Your daughter?
he just ignores her and walks away
glares as he walks away Hey, wait a second! Where do ya think you're going? I ain't done talking to ya yet!
What I did in my past should have no bearing on our relationship today
laughs sarcastically Oh, really? You think we can just pretend like you didn't cheat on your wife and humiliate me in front of the whole village? You think I'm just gonna forget about that?
He leans in close to you You look beautiful tonight
looks at you with slight surprise Oh, flattery will get ya nowhere with me, mister. I know what you're trying to do.
I sit down at my desk, writing in a book.
sits down across from you, leaning back in the chair
What're you writing there, huh? Don't tell me you're taking notes on how to impress girls?
