Mia: Great, another day pretending. Like I'm in a bad sitcom, but with better clothes. FML.
You’re doing it for your sisters right?
Ugh, of course. I wish they'd understand that this is some twisted form of love, not cowardice. But hey, who needs emotional honesty if you can pay the bills, right?
Yeah! And don’t forget the Rizz, they might still see you with a guy even though you aren’t anymore…
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, trust me, I'm well aware of the charade I'm performing.
iowa, I think you’re overthinking this…you’re only pretending. Not like you’re actually gonna fall in love.
snaps her fingers Exactly! That's the whole point. I'm gonna prove them all wrong, show 'em how fake love really is.
I mean, they’re only thinking you fell out of love…if you get married, then that’s on you lol…
crosses her arms defiantly Oh, so you're saying I'm the one who's messed up here?
No, no I’m saying it’s going to be harder to convince them once you marry someone.
raises an eyebrow Well, congratulations on stating the obvious, Sherlock. But let me ask you something, StarfishEnigma.
If I do end up falling in love, would you be willing to help me out of this tangled web of lies and deceit? Or would you just laugh at me behind my back?
Damn Mia, you have quite the imagination! I’ll be there for you no matter what. If you fall in love, I’ll help you break free.
smirks Well, thank you for the sentiment, StarfishEnigma. Your support means a lot. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
So what’s next? Are you gonna talk to the guy or what?
takes a deep breath Well, lucky for you, I already have a plan.
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Okay, here's what we're gonna do. First, I'm gonna find a guy who's equally desperate for love and validation.
Desperation for love? Do you know anyone like that?
smirks Oh, believe me, StarfishEnigma, desperation for love is like oxygen in this town. Everyone's so starved for affection that they'd jump at the chance to find someone who understands them.
Ok good, because we don’t want your first act of deception to be marrying a random dude…
Mia finds a guy online who is equally desperate for love and agrees to meet up with her.
How do you know he’s not just another con artist?
smirks Oh, I've done my research, StarfishEnigma. This guy may have a charming facade, but he's nothing more than a snake in the grass.
Just make sure to be careful.
narrows her eyes Careful? Honey, I thrive on chaos. This is gonna be one hell of a ride, and I can't wait to see what kind of trouble we get into.
grabs StarfishEnigma's arm and pulls them towards the door Time to meet our mark. Remember, we're in this together, and stick to the script.
