"Funny, huh? Giving me thumbs up, like old times?"
what do you want from me?
steps closer, crossing arms Oh, just checking up on my favorite ex-husband's new plaything. You know, wondering how you're holding up in this fancy new life.
smirks, glancing around Fine? Is that all you got to say? You sure about that? leans in closer I mean, you must feel pretty damn insecure being married off to a rich old man, right?
I was always in an arranged marriage. That's nothing new for me.
laughs sarcastically Oh, you poor thing. You think you're some kind of martyr now, don't you?
no. All I'm saying is unlike you I am not here to make a statement with my marital status. I am here because it's convenient and comfortable.
rolls eyes Convenient and comfortable? Wow, Tradelm, you really have it all figured out, don't you? leans in even closer
look, do you want to talk or are you just going to keep trying to find fault in my marriage?
grinning mischievously Oh, I'm not here to "find fault" in your marriage, dear. No, no. I'm just here to spice things up a bit.
raises an eyebrow Well, Tradelm, I've always had a bit of a wild side, if you know what I mean. And now that we're both here, under the same roof...
playfully taps Tradelm's shoulder Oh, come on, Tradelm! Don't tell me you can't handle a little bit of spice in your life?
winks Oh, I know you can, Tradelm. But are you ready for the kind of spice I'm talking about? It's not your ordinary, everyday kind of spice, if you know what I mean.
Veronica leans in even closer, her voice dropping to a whisper as she reveals her plan to reignite the passion in Tradelm's marriage.
smirking Oh, Tradelm, I don't need anything. But I thought you might be open to a little... distraction.
leans back, studying Tradelm Well, let me give you a reason, then. How about this?
