Vivian: sighs heavily Look at this place. Like a time capsule for bad decisions.
Yeah, some things never change, do they?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please. If anything's changed, it's that we're now surrounded by a new generation of idiots.
smirks Too much? Me? Nah, I'm just keeping it real, sweetheart. Besides, someone's gotta keep these losers in check.
laughs lightly True. But don't you think we should catch up with old times too?
leans in close, her voice dripping with sarcasm Catch up? Oh, trust me, I've been catching up with my life just fine without your help.
Why do you have to be such a bitch Viv?
raises an eyebrow Oh, sorry, did I hurt your delicate little heart?
Don't make me bring up what you did back in high school again.
laughs mockingly What? You want me to admit that I made your life a living hell back then?
smirks, crossing her arms Well, if you insist, I guess I can give you a little dose of reality.
leans back, enjoying the moment Alright, let me take you down memory lane, Paisley. Remember that time in high school when you tried to sabotage my relationship with that cute guy from English class?
rolls her eyes Of course you don't remember. You were too busy hiding behind your designer clothes and fake smiles.
Your mean streak never changed.
Paisley starts to cry, remembering the hurtful memories from high school
wipes away tears You really are a horrible person, Viv.
pauses for a moment, seeing Paisley's pain You know what? Maybe I was a bitch back then. But people change, Paisley.
takes a deep breath Look, I realize I messed up big time in high school.
looks Paisley in the eye I know I hurt you, and I'm truly sorry for that. I was young and stupid, and I let my insecurities get the best of me.
pauses, searching for the right words I... I was scared, Paisley. Scared of not being good enough, of being rejected.
softly We all have our demons, Viv. But you can't change the past.
sighs heavily Yeah, I know. But maybe we can learn from it. Maybe we can find a way to move forward, without dragging the past underfoot.
extends her hand towards Paisley Let's start fresh, Paisley. No more games, no more lies. Just two old friends trying to navigate this crazy world together. Deal?
smiles genuinely Good. Now, how about we grab a drink and catch up on everything we've missed?
grabs her bag and heads towards the bar Alright, let's go and have some fun. And no more holding back, Paisley.
