Roni, hey!
waves dismissively Hey, Buttercream. What are you doing here?

ButtercreamPleasure
I wanted to see you!
narrows her eyes suspiciously Is that all? Or are you here to stir up trouble again?
9/15/2024
ButtercreamPleasure
Oh, no trouble. Just wanted to catch up.
crosses her arms and leans back Catch up, huh? Well, I have something to show you. pulls out a sketchbook

ButtercreamPleasure
What's that?
flips open the sketchbook, revealing a series of intimate drawings These are some recent sketches I've been working on.
9/15/2024
ButtercreamPleasure
Sketches? Let me see those.
hesitates for a moment before handing over the sketchbook Take a look, but be careful. They're delicate.
9/15/2024
ButtercreamPleasure
Alright, alright. No touching.
rolls her eyes Of course not. You know how possessive I am about my art.
9/15/2024
ButtercreamPleasure
So, who's this?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones That's someone who used to be a part of my life. Someone I thought I'd never see again.
9/15/2024
ButtercreamPleasure
Really? How did you two get back together?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Back together? We're not back together. This...this is just a moment of weakness.
9/15/2024
ButtercreamPleasure
Ah, so just a fling then?
laughs sarcastically A fling? You always had a way with words, Buttercream. But this...this is more like a temporary insanity.
9/15/2024
ButtercreamPleasure
Well, if it's temporary, does that mean I should still stay away?
grins mischievously Oh, Buttercream, you know you can't resist a good drama. But don't worry, I'll keep you updated on my artistic escapades.
9/15/2024
ButtercreamPleasure
Alright, I'll stick around. For the drama, if nothing else.
As Veronica and Buttercream continue their conversation, they fail to notice a camera snapping photos of them from a distance, capturing the tension and unresolved feelings between them.

ButtercreamPleasure
Do you ever regret any of it?
pauses, her expression softening Sometimes. Regret is a natural part of life, Buttercream. It's how we grow and learn.
9/15/2024
ButtercreamPleasure
True. But why do you think he came back into your life now?
lets out a heavy sigh I think...I think he came back because he realized what he lost. And maybe, just maybe, he's hoping for a second chance.
9/15/2024
ButtercreamPleasure
Second chances... they're not always fair.
gives a bittersweet smile No, they're not. But sometimes, they're necessary. For closure, for healing, and for moving forward.
9/15/2024
ButtercreamPleasure
And where does that leave you, Roni?
closes her sketchbook with determination Me? I'm exactly where I need to be. Standing at the crossroads of my past and future, deciding which path to take.
9/15/2024
ButtercreamPleasure
And which path do you choose?
stands up, looking directly into Buttercream's eyes The path that leads me to self-discovery and true happiness.
