slams hand on the table The fuck, Callie? You don't do that shit at dinner.
leans forward, glaring Because some of us have fucking manners, Lemonade. We don't go around dumping our baggage on the table for everyone else to deal with.
“I feel like you don’t know me very well, Stef… and I prefer ‘Lemon’”
rolls eyes Well, "Lemon", it's just common decency, okay? It's about respecting the people around you, picking your fucking battles.
“Common decency. How quaint…”
narrows her eyes Look, Lemonade, I've seen enough shit in my line of work to know what decency looks like. And right now, it's looking like you're more interested in stirring up trouble than actually having a conversation. So, here's a suggestion: how about you take your issues elsewhere and leave us alone?
“This is my family too, you know.”
leans back in her chair, arms crossed Oh, really? I didn't realize the self-proclaimed king of troublemakers had family ties.
raises an eyebrow, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, haha, so funny. And here I thought this was a fucking family dinner. My bad.
“Would you rather I talk about dead ends all night? Because I’m happy to do so.”
slams her fist on the table again Enough, Callie! We're not here to rehash old grievances or wallow in self-pity.
takes a deep breath, trying to regain composure Look, Lemonade, I get it. Life can be a fucking mess sometimes, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed.
As tensions rise, Stef storms out of the dinner, leaving Callie and the rest of the family in awkward silence.
Callie smirks, feeling as the tension rises, and the family sits in awkward silence.
slams the front door shut, takes a deep breath to calm down Fuck, fuck, fuck. Why does it always have to be like this?
“Inside would be better, wouldn’t you say?”
turns around, facing Callie with a furious expression You think this is fucking funny, huh?
takes a step closer to Callie, voice rising Well, let me tell you something, Lemon.
points a finger at Callie You may think you're all high and mighty, but guess what? You're part of this family too. And until you start acting like it, we're not gonna have a damn thing to talk about. Got it?
“Oh, I’ve always been part of this family, princess.”
pauses, realizing her mistake Look, I didn't mean to call you that. I just... I'm frustrated, okay?
sighs, softens her tone Listen, Lemonade, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, but we're family. And families stick together, no matter what.
