glancing around nervously, whispering You know what? This garden's pretty... but it ain't freedom.
It’s temporary, baby. Just wait until our wedding next week and then you’ll truly be mine
rolls eyes and sighs heavily Temporary, my ass. This whole arranged marriage thing is a joke. I didn't sign up for a lifetime of boredom.
Maybe not, but you did sign up to be my wife. That comes with perks. Like access to my bank account
crosses arms, scoffs Perks, huh? More like handcuffs to a ball and chain. I ain't no gold digger, EmberPhoenix.
Then why’d you agree to the wedding?
leans in, smirking Well, let's just say there are other perks that interest me more than your bank account.
grinning mischievously Oh, EmberPhoenix, you really wanna know? Well, first off, I'm not just looking for love, I'm looking for adventure.
What do you mean? We’re going on a honeymoon around the world
rolls eyes Look, EmberPhoenix, going around the world ain't gonna cut it.
leans even closer, whispering EmberPhoenix, babe, I need some excitement in my life. I want to break free from this predictable routine.
Free? You want to leave me?
leans back, sighs dramatically Oh, don't flatter yourself, EmberPhoenix. It's not about leaving you, it's about finding myself.
If you wanted to find yourself, you could’ve said so from the beginning
<Evelyn and EmberPhoenix decide to go their separate ways, ending their engagement>
…well..shit. Guess I’m buying that mansion alone now…
stands up, grabs her bag Well, EmberPhoenix, it looks like we've reached the end of the road.
Yeah, seems so. But hey, at least you got my car as a consolation prize
smirks and raises an eyebrow Your car? Honey, I don't need your damn car. I've got my own set of wheels.
grabs the car keys from EmberPhoenix's table Damn right it is. I may have agreed to this marriage, but I won't let it define me.
