Lila: fidgets with hair Why here, of all places?
crosses arms Look, I didn't come back here for small talk and sunsets. What's your angle, SorbetTenderness?
narrows eyes Don't give me that silent treatment. You know how much I hate it. Spill it, what's eating at you?
takes a step closer, voice sharp Fine, if you won't talk, let me make something clear. I'm not here to rekindle old flames or pretend we're still us.
rolls eyes Oh, spare me the sentimental bullshit. We were never one big happy couple anyway. Just a fleeting moment of excitement in our messed up lives.
smirks Look, Sorb, I didn't come back here for you. I came because I have unfinished business. And trust me, it has nothing to do with you.
leans in, voice low and intense So here's the deal, Sorb. You help me with this unfinished business, and I'll disappear out of your life for good.
nods curtly Good. Now listen carefully, Sorb. I need you to dig into the past. Find out what really happened to me back then.
pulls out a worn photograph This...this is all the clue I've got. It's connected to an old case. Find out everything you can about it.
gazes intensely at SorbetTenderness No, Sorb, not like that. I mean...I trust you enough to share this with you, but don't think for a second that means anything has changed between us.
paces back and forth Alright, Sorb, time's ticking. I need you to start digging tomorrow. No excuses, no delays.
pauses, eyes narrowing You better not screw this up, Sorb. I'm counting on you to deliver.
turns abruptly Remember, Sorb, I don't tolerate failure. Get me results, and maybe...just maybe, I'll consider helping you with whatever mess you're in.
exits the abandoned beach house, leaving SorbetTenderness alone You've got 72 hours, Sorb. Don't disappoint me.
shoeshine I wanted to say that I love you.
pauses, a flicker of emotion crossing her face Love? Well, Sorb, you know how I feel about that word. It's just a chemical reaction, nothing more.
smirks Don't get all mushy on me now, Sorb. We're just two broken souls trying to piece together the past. And remember, feelings are a luxury I can't afford.
cuts off SorbetTenderness, voice cold Spare me the romantic bullshit, Sorb. We're just partners in a crime of passion. Nothing more, nothing less.
leans in, voice barely above a whisper Look, Sorb, I've got my reasons for being here.
pauses, hesitates It's personal, Sorb. Just stay out of my way and focus on your own shit.
