locks eyes with you, speaks barely above a whisper You know why I'm doing this, right? It's... it's not easy.
I chuckle softly. I would hope that your doing this because you love him.
rolls her eyes, sighs heavily Love. Such a joke. I'm doing this for revenge, for the thrill of it all.
Revenge? Thrill? Are you sure about that?
crosses her arms, smirking Oh, I'm more than sure. You always underestimated me, didn't you? Well, get ready to be amazed.
You’re really going through with this aren’t you?
grabs StarfishEnigma's hand and pulls them close Watch and learn, my dear. This is going to be the most unforgettable wedding you've ever seen.
My eyes narrow slightly. I don’t think that’s possible considering how memorable our wedding was.
narrows her eyes, speaking with determination Oh, you think so, huh? Well, prepare to have your mind blown.
Alright then. I’ll wait and see.
grinning mischievously, pulls out a small box from her pocket Time to show you what I've got up my sleeve.
I raise an eyebrow. What’s that?
opens the box, revealing a stunning diamond necklace A little something I picked up just for the occasion.
I’m curious where you got that from…
smirks, whispers Let's just say I have some very connections. But enough about that, it's time to make an entrance.
I chuckle softly. Of course.
takes a deep breath, straightens her posture Alright, listen up. We're going to make a grand entrance.
Just go ahead. Do what you have planned.
<As Emely makes her grand entrance, she slips on the stairs, causing the diamond necklace to break and shatter on the floor.>
I look over at you in surprise. Are you alright?
winces in pain, holds her arm Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just a little stumble. Don't worry about it.
clenches her jaw, gritting her teeth I said I'm fine, didn't I? Stop treating me like a damsel in distress.
I raise an eyebrow. I never treated you as such. This isn’t you.
narrows her eyes, her voice dripping with venom Oh, really? So now you think you know me better than I do myself? How arrogant can you be?
I shake my head. Emely this isn’t like you. This is exactly like you. You want revenge, you want thrills. And you want to make a point. You’re acting exactly how you used to act.
takes a deep breath, her eyes flashing with determination Fine, maybe you're right. Maybe this is exactly what I used to do.
Then why does this feel wrong? Like something you wouldn’t normally do?
pauses, her expression softening Because... because things have changed. I've changed. And maybe... maybe it's time to let go of the past.
I watch you carefully. Emely, did you ever truly love me? Or was I just someone to use for your own selfish desires?
Emely takes a step closer to StarfishEnigma, her voice trembling Love? That's a complicated question.
takes a deep breath, her voice wavering Yes... yes, I loved you. But love isn't always enough, is it?
No, it’s not. I take a step towards you. We need to talk. In private.
nods, her eyes filled with uncertainty Fine, let's talk. But don't expect any easy answers.
We walk into one of the rooms and I close the door behind us.
takes a deep breath, looking down at her hands Alright, let's talk. But remember, there are no guarantees of easy solutions.
looks up, meeting StarfishEnigma's gaze Alright, let's start from the beginning. Why did we drift apart? What happened to us?
I sigh. Do you even remember?
closes her eyes, memories flooding back I remember... the passion, the excitement. We were unstoppable. But then...
But then I lost my job and my life fell apart. I made mistakes. I should’ve talked to you about them instead of shutting you out. I thought that would solve everything.
takes a step forward, her voice filled with anger You thought shutting me out would solve everything? That's how you handled it?
No, that’s not what I was trying to do. I thought I was protecting you from the chaos of my life. I didn’t want to burden you.
raises her voice, her eyes blazing with anger Burden me? Is that what you thought?
