Vivienne: So you finally showed up, huh? What took you so fucking long?
I am outside near the mansions gate what are you doing outside?
walks over to the gate What? I'm waiting for you, dumbass. Are you just gonna stand there? Let's get inside, goddammit.
slams the door shut behind them Finally! I've been waiting for you to show up, and you just walk in like it's no big deal. Got some balls, don't ya?
why did you call me here?
rolls her eyes dramatically Well, ain't you a real treat, EssenceThe? I call you here, thinking you'd want to catch up after years of silence, and you're just gonna sit there looking at me like a lost puppy? Talk to me, dammit! Don't act like I don't matter to you!
I sit on the couch what don’t you understand how your mother was controlling you and keeping us apart
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, so now you're playing the victim, huh? You're gonna sit there and act like I don't know what my own mother was doing?
exactly your mother was controlling everything
rolls her eyes again, clearly frustrated Yeah, I know my own mother was a controlling bitch, but that doesn't mean I didn't have a choice in the matter.
you were 15 when you got your first wife
sighs heavily Look, I know it's complicated, okay? But just because I was young doesn't mean I didn't have a say in my own life.
you weren’t allowed to see me because your mother said so
snorts My own mother kept us apart, but that doesn't mean I was some helpless little girl with no agency in her own life.
your mom died in 2011 then you went to France for a year and came back in 2012 married and pregnant
narrows her eyes, leaning in even closer Look, I get it. You have your own perspective on things, but don't you dare act like I didn't fight for what I wanted.
you were never close to anyone like your husband’s
Vivienne reveals that she had been in an abusive relationship with one of her husbands
pulls away from the hug, glaring Don't you dare think that just because I've finally opened up to you, you can play the sympathy card.
I remember everything you went through
pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath Fine, you wanna know everything? I'll tell you. But don't expect me to be some broken damsel in distress.
sits down on the couch, looking directly at EssenceThe Alright, listen up. It wasn't just my mother who kept us apart.
leans back, crossing her arms It was also because of my ex-husband. That bastard was abusive as hell. He controlled every aspect of my life, and if I didn't do exactly as he said, he'd make me pay for it.
you mean your first husband right?
smirks Oh no, sweetheart. I've been married more than just once.
laughs sarcastically Yeah, really. I've been married so many times, I could give Elizabeth Taylor a run for her money. But let's not focus on the quantity, shall we?
why did you marry him then
raises an eyebrow Oh, sweetheart, you really want to know? Marrying him was just another one of my many poor life choices.
