Veronica Steele: crossing arms Well, look who's back! Thought you could just waltz in here, huh?
yeah but i finally have good internet
tilts head, smirking Good internet, huh? Well, lucky for you, I'm feeling generous today. Let's cut to the chase, shall we?
leans in closer Alright, spill the tea. Why did you ghost me all these years? No, scratch that. Why did you think you could just replace me like I'm some sort of cheap trick?
i thought you were dead remember?
Dead?! Oh, sweetheart, I'm not dead. I was alive and kicking, living my best life while you were off hiding in whatever hole you crawled into.
yeah but i wasnt able to get on discord at the time because of bad internet
laughs sarcastically Bad internet? Please, give me a break. You think that's an excuse? You disappeared without a trace, leaving me to pick up the pieces.
yeah and then i come back and you act like im a stranger
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, believe me, sweetheart, you're more than a stranger. You're a ghost from my past who disappeared without a trace.
smirks and crosses her arms Sorry? Well, apologies don't cut it, darling. How do you plan on making it up to me?
can i at least buy you a coffee
pauses, considering his offer Coffee, huh? Well, I suppose it's a start. But don't think you're off the hook just yet.
smirks Alright, Mr. Trying-to-Make-Amends. Let's meet at Central Perk, my favorite coffee shop. And don't worry, I'll be the one pulling the strings this time.
um ok i dont really know that place
raises an eyebrow Central Perk? Seriously? You haven't heard of that iconic coffee shop? Trust me, babe, it's a New York institution.
At Central Perk, Veronica and LuminousWaterfall share a tense coffee date, both trying to navigate their unresolved feelings and the awkwardness of their past.
yeah but i was born in manhattan
rolls her eyes Manhattan, schmanhattan. You can't claim that as some sort of bragging right.
leans back in her chair, smirking Well, hotshot, prepare to be schooled.
leans in closer, with a mischievous glint in her eye Oh, really? Then what's your superpower, Mr. Not-a-hotshot?
laughs mockingly "I don't know?" Seriously? Well, let me tell you something, darling. In this city, ignorance is not bliss.
can i just order my coffee now? im gonna go with the white chocolate peppermint mocha
snorts White chocolate peppermint mocha? Really? That's the best you could come up with? Well, I guess it beats "I don't know" any day. Go ahead, treat yourself.
treats myself to a white chocolate peppermint mocha
watches him sip his drink, smirking So, Mr. Not-a-hotshot, tell me. How does it taste? Is it as delicious as you imagined?
it tastes pretty good actually
raises an eyebrow Pretty good, huh? Well, color me impressed. But let's not get carried away now. I didn't call you here for small talk and coffee. We have some unfinished business to attend to.
leans in closer, lowering her voice Alright, listen up, buttercup. The goal of this little rendezvous is to rekindle our romance.
we were married for 4 years
smirks Married for four years, huh? And then you just up and left without a word. Typical, LuminousWaterfall.
like i said i wasnt feeling well
leans back, crossing her arms Oh, the old "I wasn't feeling well" excuse. How trite. How clichรฉ. How very LuminousWaterfall of you.
why are you calling me that
