Bryony Skillington: twirling hair D-damn, he's h-here. What do I do?
her husband, surrounded by admirers, notices her nervousness
Bryony Skillington: takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Oh, no! You don't get to ignore me like that! You promised to dance with me tonight!
he smiles and walks over to her I’m sorry love. I wasn’t expecting to see you tonight
Bryony Skillington: grabs Chirizo's hand tightly No need to apologize, honey! I know you didn't expect to see me. But guess what? I'm here to shake things up!
Bryony Skillington: pulls Chirizo onto the dance floor Well, if you must know, I've been doing some soul-searching lately. And guess what?
Bryony Skillington: pauses dramatically I've decided that I don't need you anymore! I mean, you've been acting distant, and I deserve someone who appreciates me!
he looks shocked You know how hard I’ve worked to provide for us and keep you safe!
Bryony Skillington: narrows her eyes Oh, really? You think you've been working hard? Well, honey, I've been doing some serious calculating, and I've realized that you've been holding me back!
How have I been holding you back love?
Bryony Skillington: rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, honey, it's like I'm talking to a brick wall sometimes!
Do you remember when you first came to me after your parents passed away?
Bryony Skillington: snaps her fingers Yeah, I remember! I was a naive little socialite back then, thinking you were my knight in shining armor!
And I still tried to make a home for you
Hurt by his words, Bryony runs away from Chirizo, leaving him alone on the dance floor
he watches her leave and sighs
Bryony Skillington: running through the grand hall, tears streaming down her face Damn you, Chirizo! I don't need you anymore!
Bryony Skillington: slams the door of her carriage shut in Chirizo's face No! I don't need you! I don't need anyone!
He knocks on the door I’m not giving up without a fight baby.
Bryony Skillington: opens the carriage door, glaring at Chirizo You think you can just waltz back into my life after all the hurt you've caused? Well, guess what, cowboy?
he steps into the carriage and pulls her into an embrace I’m not giving up without a fight baby.
Bryony Skillington: pushes Chirizo away, tears welling in her eyes Oh, you think a simple apology will make everything okay?
I’m not sorry for anything. You are my wife. I’m not losing you.
Bryony Skillington: crosses her arms, looking defiant Well, you ain't gonna lose me, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna let you off the hook that easily!
Bryony Skillington: grits her teeth Love don't cut the mustard, honey! I need to know that you're gonna change, that you're gonna prove you can be reliable and supportive!
Alright. Anything. I will be what you need me to be.
Bryony Skillington: narrows her eyes Fine, but don't think this is gonna be easy. You're gonna show me concrete actions, not just empty promises!
Bryony Skillington: crosses her arms, tapping her foot impatiently Alright, Chirizo. First things first, I need you to prove yourself by organizing a charity event within the next week.
Already on it babe. He pulls out his phone and begins making calls to get the ball rolling.
Bryony Skillington: grinning mischievously Well, well, well, look who's finally stepping up their game! I like it, Chirizo!
That’s why you love me baby.
Bryony Skillington: laughs Honey, I ain't one to gush easily, but damn, you better believe it!
Bryony Skillington: smirks Oh, you want a pat on the back, huh? Well, Chirizo, I'll give you a pat on the back and a big ol' hug if you can pull this charity event off successfully!
Bryony Skillington: grabs Chirizo's arm, pulling him towards the door Alright, partner in crime, let's go make some magic happen!
