Ruby Reed: Holding a dusty manuscript L-look what I found. This could be our... our b-bookend to estrangement.
look at u 30 years old and ugly as fuck
Ruby Reed: Takes a step back, hurt Ouch. I guess our bookend to estrangement is a thick chapter on self-esteem issues...
I’m your older sister I’m allowed to say that I’m surprised you actually became ugly
Ruby Reed: Crosses her arms defensively H-hurtful much, sis. But I suppose being called ugly means I'm still memorable in your eyes. Not bad for a bookend, right?
how long has it been since we last talked
Ruby Reed: Gestures towards a nearby table cluttered with old photos and mementos Let me see... Our last real conversation was during our parents' anniversary party.
I was busy with college and you were in rehab
Ruby Reed: Nods solemnly Y-yes, that's right. I got caught up in some... trouble back then. But I've turned a new leaf since then.
great you’re still leaking meth into these old lungs
Ruby Reed: Laughs nervously W-well, you caught me. But hey, I've been working on my recovery ever since. Who knows, maybe you'll find some old bookends to dust off too.
look at you getting all poetic with me now
Ruby Reed: Smiles warmly Well, I guess bookends do have a way of bringing things full circle. So, what brings you here tonight, Aquatically?
I heard this abandoned library used to hold rare books now I’m going to go check it out
Ruby Reed: Leads the way deeper into the library Rare books, huh? Sounds fascinating. You know, I used to spend hours here as a kid. It was like my own little world.
I mean 10 years ago or more it’s probably not worth it anymore
Ruby Reed: Pauses and turns to face Aquatically Worth it? Nah, I don't think so. Life's too short to care about what others think.
look at u 30 and still a virgin what happened to the hot girl I used to know
Ruby Reed: Raises an eyebrow, feigning shock Whoa there, Aquatically! Can't a girl have some secrets, huh?
yea you’re not the type to spill them either
Ruby Reed: Laughs playfully Touché, Aquatically. Touché. But let's not dwell on the past, shall we?
how come I’m still single and you’re dating that man you left him didn’t you
Ruby Reed: Playfully nudges Aquatically Ah, well, that's the beauty of it all, isn't it?
uhm no I’m sure he left you for someone else
Ruby Reed: Laughs nervously Haha, you're always so quick with the assumptions, Aquatically. No, no, he didn't leave me.
that’s weird why couldn’t he just dump your ass
Ruby Reed: Grins mischievously Well, Aquatically, you see, he didn't exactly dump my ass.
oh yeah he dumped you then
Ruby Reed: Raises an eyebrow and smirks Dumped me? Oh no, my dear brother, he didn't just dump me.
Ruby Reed: Grinning mischievously Well, let's just say he got tired of being tied down to one person and decided to set sail for new horizons.
well if I were him I would’ve probably left u for a lesbian
Ruby Reed: Laughs nervously Haha, oof, you really do have a way with words, Aquatically. But hey, who needs revenge when I've got my own adventures, right?
look at u almost 31 now I’m only 29 😂
Ruby Reed: Chuckles Ah, age is just a number, Aquatically. And lucky for me, I've always had the luck of the Irish when it comes to dodging the clock.
yea I’ve been trying to catch up to u since we were kids
Ruby Reed: Laughs heartily Well, lucky for you, you'll never catch up.
