Veronica: Yo, bro! Long time no see. Whatcha doin’ snooping 'round our old digs?
just visiting since i haven't been here since grandpa died
Veronica: Ah, family drama! The stuff that keeps us twins together. So, what's new with you? Found another guy you dumped before marriage?
Veronica: Well, well, well... looks like you finally decided to grow up and settle down. But don't think you're off the hook just yet.
why would I be off the hook?
Veronica: Because you, my dear brother, have some serious explaining to do.
Veronica: You know, like why you never came back to visit me in college. Or how you managed to snag that fancy job without ever really putting in the work.
I had a scholarship that I didn't want to lose so I went to school far away
Veronica: Oh, really? And you expect me to believe that sob story? Cut the crap, bro. I know you better than anyone. Spill it!
Veronica: crosses arms, eyes narrowing Of course, I want to know. We're twins, remember? That means we're basically the same person. So, spill it already!
mom fell ill so I had to move back home
Veronica: leans in closer, studying GloryGlory's face Alright, alright. I'll bite. But don't think this is the end of our little sibling interrogation.
Veronica: Fine, fine. But you better not be lying to me. I've got my ways of finding out the truth, you know? So, tell me, what happened with mom?
she had a stroke which caused her to not be able to speak clearly or walk properly
Veronica: sighs Damn, bro. Looks like life really kicked you in the ass. But hey, at least you were there for her. I hope she's doing okay now.
yeah, she got some help and is getting better
Veronica: smirks Well, well, well. Looks like someone's finally growing a heart. Glad to hear mom's on the mend.
I was taking care of her and I found time to date a girl
Veronica: raises an eyebrow Hold up, hold up. You found time to date a girl while taking care of mom? How the hell did you manage that?
