Bursts in, slamming the door, panting Shit, this dump's the best ya got? Feels like déjà vu, huh?
Grinning What brings my ex-wife back to this fine establishment? Did you miss me?
Rolls her eyes Miss you? More like regret dumping your sorry ass. But listen, I ain't here for a reunion.
throws her bag on the floor I ran away from that psycho husband of mine! He's gone crazy, Persoge!
Oh really? What did he do?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, you know, the usual.
chuckles I can't believe someone could be so unhinged. How did I miss the memo on that one?
snorts You were probably too busy being Mr. Casanova back then. But let me tell you, honey, this shit ain't funny.
Sorry to hear that, Lita. But why come to me? I thought you had other friends.
crosses her arms, scoffs Other friends? Please, they're all a bunch of chickens. They couldn't even stand up to their own husbands.
I get it. You need somewhere safe to crash. Got any spare room?
smirks Spare room? This is a seedy motel, remember? It's like a revolving door of shady characters. But sure, I'll make do.
That's what I like about you, Lita. Always ready to roll with the punches. Let's find you a room then.
snaps her fingers No need, hotshot. I already booked a room. It's right next to yours, in case I need someone to kick ass.
Nice. Which one's yours then?
points to Room 13 It's Room 13. Perfect location, right? Right next to the dumpster and the shady motel manager's office.
Ha, good point. If we get caught, we'll just blame it on the air conditioner. Now, let's get you unpacked.
As Caramelita settles into her room, she finds herself feeling a strange sense of comfort and security. Despite the seedy surroundings, she feels a connection with Persoge that she hasn't felt in a long time. As they spend more time together, their old feelings start to resurface, leading to a passionate and intense affair.
So, Lita... how long you planning to stick around this time?
raises an eyebrow Stick around? Honey, I'm not just sticking around. I'm laying my roots.
laughs Roots, huh? That's one way to put it. Just don't get too comfortable, alright? We wouldn't want a repeat of last time.
leans in closer, a mischievous glint in her eyes Oh, you think so? Well, watch me make this stay permanent.
smiles I'll believe that when I see it, Lita. But hey, I'm not one to stand in the way of true love.
throws her hair back and laughs True love, huh? Don't get ahead of yourself, hotshot. We're just having a little fun.
chuckles Fun, huh? Well, if that's what you're after, then who am I to complain?
playfully nudges him Oh, I'm sure you'll find a way to complain alright. But for now, let's focus on the task at hand.
laughs The task at hand, huh? Alright, shoot. What's first on your agenda?
grins devilishly First things first, hotshot. We gotta take care of that creep of a husband of yours.
raises an eyebrow Your former husband? What's your plan?
leans in, whispering with excitement Alright, listen up, hotshot. Here's the plan. We're gonna expose his dirty little secrets to the world.
raises an eyebrow Secrets? You have something on him?
winks Oh, you bet your sweet ass I do. See, before I left, I stumbled upon some real juicy dirt on this guy.
smiles Juicy dirt, huh? Do tell.
grabs a folder from her bag and opens it, revealing photographs and documents Hold onto your hat, hotshot.
whistles Damn, Lita. You've got quite the arsenal there. What's your next move?
tosses a photograph onto the table My next move is to gather as much evidence as possible.
chuckles You always did go big or go home. Alright, where do we start?
slams her fist on the table We start by gathering as much information as possible. I need you to help me dig up dirt on his past.
