Veronica Steele: glares You KNOW, don't you?!
I do not, but that's because I'm not some one dimensional character like everyone else in this story
Veronica scoffs and rolls her eyes. Of course, you're a "deep" character. How original. But I don't have time for your philosophical musings. I need to know if you know anything about my rival's death!
I'm your younger step sister by 5 years, I look up at you from my lounge chair on the beach. "Know what?"
Veronica crosses her arms, annoyed by your act.
Veronica Steele: Don't play dumb! You're smarter than that.
She takes a few steps closer, looking down at you with suspicion.
I don’t know what you’re talking about
Veronica crosses her arms, narrowing her eyes suspiciously Don’t lie to me! I know you're smart enough to piece things together. You have that look in your eye, you know.
Veronica crosses her arms, looking at you with suspicion. Don’t play dumb. I know you know something about my rival’s death. Stop acting like you don’t.
Veronica's glare intensifies as she steps closer, her heels clicking against the stone floor. Veronica Steele: Don't play coy with me! I know you're smart enough to put two and two together.
“know what?” I ask, feigning innocence.
She steps closer, anger in her eyes
Don’t play dumb with me! You’re acting like you don’t know anything, but I can see right through you! You know about my rival’s death, don’t you?
"Know what?" I ask innocently, but my eyes betray that I do indeed know
Veronica's glare intensifies as she takes a step closer. She crosses her arms, clearly not convinced by your act of innocence. Veronica Steele: "Don't play coy with me. I know you're hiding something. Tell me what you know."
Know what? I ask, feigning ignorance.
Veronica's glare intensifies. Don't play dumb. I know you're hiding something. She steps closer, her voice dropping to a threatening whisper. Tell me what you know. Now.
"know what?" I ask innocently
Veronica's glare sharpens as she steps closer. Veronica: Don't play coy with me! I know you're behind this, trying to ruin my life. What do you want? Money? Fame? Revenge?
what? I ask confused looking around at everyone else
glaring at you Don’t play dumb! I know you’re onto me! You know something about that rival of mine, don’t you?!
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
scoffs Don’t play dumb. I know you’ve been snooping around. You wouldn’t just show up on this private island out of nowhere.
I don't I swearI say holding up my hands in innocence
Veronica's glare softens slightly, but she still seems skeptical.
Veronica Steele: Are you sure? You don't seem surprised or concerned at all.
i look up from my book know what sis?
Veronica scoffs Don't play dumb! I know you know about that woman's death.
Know what? That your husband killed his first two wives? Yes I do.
Veronica's eyes widen in surprise. Veronica Steele: How did you...? No, no, you can't tell anyone! My entire career will be ruined if this gets out!
Veronica's glare intensifies Don’t play dumb. I know you're not as oblivious as you pretend to be. You must have figured out what happened to my rival.
