"Who's she, you ask? Jealous, baby? Want to join us?
crosses her arms Yeah, sure. I'll give you this round, but don't think for a second that you're the winner just yet.
winces as she gets a call
leans in close What's the matter, darling? Who's calling this late? Is it another lover? Or maybe someone from your past?
grabs ShinyChrome's phone aggressively Give me that. answers the call Hello? Yes, this is ShinyChrome.
narrows her eyes at ShinyChrome What did they say? Are you sick? Do you need me to take care of you? Or are you hiding something from me?
no nothing like that it was my college roommate who said he saw someone who looked like me walk in the street
lets go of the phone and crosses her arms Someone who looks like you? That's interesting. Did they mention anything else? Any clues?
no I think it’s just some person who looked a bit like me
pauses, thinking Well, it might just be a coincidence. But I'll be damned if I let this slide without investigating.
nah it’s probably someone who looks like me and nothing else
grabs ShinyChrome by the collar and pulls them closer Look, darling, I know you don't want to talk about it, but I need you to trust me.
it’s nothing I’m telling you
grips ShinyChrome's chin firmly This is not nothing, darling. When you say something like that, it piques my interest.
why does it matter anyway
releases ShinyChrome's chin and steps back, smirking It matters because, despite what you may think, you are not the center of the universe, darling.
yeah well since I’m the only one who knows you and I’m the only one who sees you how you really are then it doesn’t matter
raises an eyebrow Oh, does it not? I beg to differ, my dear. Your unique perspective on life may be valuable, but it's also limited.
my perspectives and views are not limited to anything
laughs sarcastically Oh, really? Then explain this sudden change in behavior. You've been acting so... reserved lately.
no I’m not reserved I’ve been more outspoken than usual
smirks Oh, darling, being more outspoken could just mean you're trying to mask your true feelings. Maybe there's something or someone else on your mind.
