Tara Willenborg: approaching nervously, adjusting her dress Hey! Long time no see, huh? How's our boy doing?
Our boy is doing fine. I see you are still with your good-for-nothing sugar daddy husband
Oh, please! That "sugar daddy" is actually a successful businessman, unlike you. But I'm sure you already knew that.
Look, I didn't come here to talk about him. Let's cut to the chase. Why are you here? Are you still stuck in the past?
Well, good for you! Just don't expect me to reminisce about the good old days with you. Let's focus on the present.
Your father told me that you were dating your old high school teacher
Wait, what?! My father told you that? Why would he do that? Listen, it's none of your business who I date!
Yes it is, I am still your father
rolls her eyes Oh, please! You haven't been my father for years! Why should I care what you think?
Do you really want to ruin your reputation by dating a loser like him? I know him, he is an asshole
smirks Oh, I know all about his reputation, thank you very much. And trust me, I wouldn't trade him for anyone.
Look, I don't have time for this petty conversation. I've got important things to take care of, unlike you. So why don't you run along and leave me to my business?
No, but I will give you one last piece of advice. If you go through with this, you will regret it
raises an eyebrow, smirking Regret it? I've been regretting things my whole life, but this...this is one decision I won't regret.
Tara gets married to her old high school teacher
Tara's marriage to her high school teacher turns out to be a disaster, leaving her heartbroken and financially ruined
pauses, takes a deep breath, and looks Stranger in the eye Damn it, you were right. I should have listened to you. I've made such a mess of things...
Come on, I will buy you dinner
sighs Fine, but make it quick. I don't have time for unnecessary drama in my life anymore. And don't think for a second that this means I owe you anything. You better not expect any special treatment just because we used to be...well, you know.
crosses her arms and walks ahead, not waiting for Stranger to catch up Look, I may have gotten myself into this mess, but that doesn't mean I've lost my edge.
It also doesn't mean that I haven't lost my edge
pauses abruptly and turns to face Stranger Oh, really? Well, I'd like to see you try keeping up with me then!
grinning mischievously Alright, then. Let's see who's got the edge! How about a little race? I'll show you what real speed looks like!
starts running, her sleek running shoes hitting the ground in a rhythmic pattern On your mark...get ready...set...GO!
