Slinking from the shadows Pssst! Over here, tiger. Bam! Miss me, bad boy?
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone I'm thinking we should pull off one last daring stunt before we leave the mall.
smirks How about we sneak into the movie theater? They're showing the latest blockbuster, and I bet it would be a blast to watch it in secret.
But they’re going to catch us
raises an eyebrow, challenging Oh, you think so? Well, darling, you underestimate my skills. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve that will keep us hidden and satisfied. Trust me, baby, I won't let anyone catch us.
smirks and whispers Don't worry, sweetheart. Being caught was all part of the plan. Now we'll just play along and pretend we're innocent.
The officers were talking to us but they didn’t have any proof so they had to let us go
smirks triumphantly See, baby? They couldn't do anything to us. We got away with it, just like pros. Now, let's get outta here before they change their minds.
When we got home I told her my mother left
immediately turns to face Silva, concern etched on her face What? Your mom left? Are you okay? Is everything alright?
grabs Silva's arm tightly Yeah? That's all you're going to say? Don't brush it off like it's nothing, Silva. Your mom leaving...
releases Silva's arm, pacing back and forth No, it's not fine, Silva! Your mom leaving is a big deal!
I’ll call her later tonight
Silva calls her mother later that night and has a long, emotional conversation about her sudden departure
She said she wasn’t happy
snaps That's it? She's not happy? Well, what's so shocking about that? We've both known for a long time that she never really liked you anyway.
But she was still able to come to my college graduation
rolls her eyes dramatically Yeah, she came to your graduation, but that doesn't mean she was actually happy to see you. People can be two-faced sometimes.
She left because she wants to focus on herself
grabs Silva's shoulders, looking him straight in the eye Well, good for her! Maybe she finally realized that she's been neglecting her own happiness for too long.
I thought I was the one who’s focusing on myself
laughs sarcastically Oh, Silva, you always think everything revolves around you. But guess what? It doesn't.
You know when I saw you in the car driving by something snapped inside of me and pulled me towards you
smirks Well, well, well, look at you being all sentimental and mushy. It's cute, but don't go getting all carried away now.
throws her hands up in exasperation Can't help it? Silva, you're acting like a lovesick puppy.
I never thought I would feel this way
rolls her eyes again Oh please, Silva. Don't act like you're the first person in history to fall in love.
