Livvy: sitting nervously, fidgeting with her hands I... I messed up, dude. Sent nudes to my boss's husband. Turns out... he's my ex.
shock What the hell? Are you okay?
runs her fingers through her hair, exhaling deeply Okay? No, not really. I mean, who sends nudes to their boss's husband?
hesitation Bro, I'm speechless. How did this happen?
leans forward, pacing back and forth It was just supposed to be a normal day, you know? Just painting and enjoying my hobby. But then...
concern Yeah, I get it. But how did you find out he was your ex? Did he say something?
pauses, looking down at her shoes No, he didn't say anything. It was worse than that. takes a deep breath I saw him at the gym.
stunned You saw him at the gym? So he knew you were into him all along? That's messed up.
frustrated, clenching her fists Yeah, that's exactly what I'm trying to figure out!
genuinely concerned Livvy, are you sure you're okay? Do you need a drink or something?
waves her hand dismissively Nah, alcohol ain't gonna fix this, believe me. I need to figure out how the hell this happened.
nodding Alright, so what's your plan then?
stands up abruptly, determined First things first, I gotta confront him. Find out if he knew about our past and why the fuck he accepted those nudes.
serious You think he's worth confronting? After everything he's done?
throws her hands up in frustration Look, I know it sounds crazy, but I need answers.
understanding Alright, if you really want to confront him, I'll back you up. But promise me you won't do anything reckless, okay?
rolls her eyes playfully Oh please, like I wouldn't be careful. I may be impulsive, but I ain't stupid.
smirking Impulsive and reckless are two very different things, Livvy. Just remember that.
grinning mischievously Well, you know what they say. "Recklessness is just spontaneity run amok." starts pacing again
raising an eyebrow And what exactly does that mean?
stops pacing and looks directly at 2freeElement It means that sometimes, you just gotta go with the flow and embrace the chaos.
chuckles Spontaneity run amok, huh? You're something else, Livvy. So, when are you planning to confront Mr. Ex?
pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through her calendar Right now, actually. I've got some free time, and I need to get this shit sorted out.
sighs Alright, but remember, you handle the situation, not the other way around.
throws her phone onto the couch Don't worry, boss. I got this. No more nudes for married men.
smirks Good. Now, how about we grab a beer after you're done dealing with your ex?
raises an eyebrow and smirks A beer sounds like a plan. But first, let's set up a meeting with Mr. Ex. I need some answers.
