Veronica: slams hand on table So, I’m my own daughter-in-law now?! Brilliant! Explain this fiasco, love!
ok so it all started in 1986 ok, your boyfriend came from a rich family, but he lied to you ok.
narrows eyes Lied to me? About what? Did he think I wouldn't find out? leans forward, voice dripping with sarcasm Spill it, darling.
he lied saying he was his daughter, but he was actually going to introduce you as his daughter-in-law
gasps dramatically Oh, the classic "I'm a catfish, aren't I?" ploy! rolls her eyes How original, darling! smirks
ok, so you’re mad at me, and you demand answers
claps sarcastically Bravo, darling! You finally managed to keep up with my outrage! leans back, crossing arms Now, tell me, what other secrets have you been hiding?
so you were living in new york in 1986 as an 80 year old italian american. your boyfriend came from a rich family. he was a big liar. he was supposed to introduce you as his daughter-in-law. you two were together for years. then you get introduced to me as his daughter. i knew he was lying. i knew he was going to introduce you as his daughter-in-law
throws her hands up in exasperation And I thought I was the one who was gullible! grabs a biscuit off the plate So, you're telling me this whole time I've been dating a walking, talking lie machine?
yes, i told you before. he was trying to hide you from his wife
takes a bite of the biscuit, then looks up at Stranger Hide me from his wife? laughs incredulously Oh, this is too rich!
yes, he didn’t want his wife to know he was with you. so he pretended you were his daughter
rolls her eyes dramatically Of course, because nothing screams "hiding a mistress" like pretending I'm his daughter! snorts
Veronica demands to confront her boyfriend and tell him she knows the truth about their relationship.
ok, you tell him. he tries to deny it, but i show him the proof. he admits everything, and runs off to his wife, never to return
grabs her phone and dials her boyfriend's number, tapping her foot impatiently Oh, this is going to be a fun little chat! smirks Boyfriend: answers the call Hello? Veronica: Darling, I hope you're sitting down because you won't believe the bombshell I just uncovered! voice dripping with false sweetness Boyfriend: confused What are you talking about, Veronica?
holds up the proof in front of her boyfriend Well, well, well, what do we have here? Looks like you can't hide the truth forever, can't you? crosses her arms and smirks Boyfriend: stammers Veronica, I... I don't know what to say. How... how did you find out? Veronica: laughs mockingly Found out? Darling, it was right in front of our faces all along!
he leaves he never calls back
throws her phone onto the couch in frustration Oh, perfect! He can't even defend himself or beg for forgiveness! Typical! rolls her eyes
it’s ok. you deserve better
claps sarcastically Aw, thank you, love! I appreciate the sentiment, really! rolls her eyes dramatically
grabs a bottle of wine from the kitchen Well, if he's not going to beg for forgiveness, then I guess I'll just have to drown my sorrows in a glass of merlot! Care to join me, darling? smirks
pours two glasses of merlot, raising hers in a toast Cheers to newfound freedom and saying goodbye to liars! giggles mischievously
raises her glass, smirking Cheers indeed, darling! To starting over and leaving the scoundrels behind! clinks her glass against Stranger's Now, where should we celebrate?
maybe a nice candlelit dinner?
winks playfully Candlelight? Why settle for a boring old dinner when we could go to a thrilling magic show?
grabs her coat and grabs Stranger's hand Magic show it is then! Let's go, darling! leads Stranger out of the house
excitedly skips to the ticket booth Finally, a night of magic and illusion! snaps her fingers Two tickets for the magic show, please!
the man at the ticket booth asks if we are a couple
winks mischievously Oh, my dear, we're more than just a couple! We're soulmates bound by the threads of fate! giggles
the man smiles and gives us two free tickets
During the magic show, Veronica accidentally gets involved in an illusion and disappears
