Victoria Steele: rubbing her temples Damn, did I really kiss you? This headache ain't helping my memory.
sighs and looks down Shit, that's embarrassing. I must've been out of my goddamn mind.
Okay? That's all you're going to say? No explanations? No reassurances? Nothing? leans in closer, eyes searching Look, I messed up, alright?
you don’t seem like the type of person who would do something like that.
slams her fist on the table Dammit, you're right! I'm not the type to go around kissing people like some goddamn liquor-fueled maniac!
takes a deep breath, trying to regain composure Look, RoseEnthusiasm, I apologize for my actions. It wasn't just the alcohol talking, it was...
pauses, looking conflicted It was... my emotions getting tangled up in all that booze. I've been under a lot of pressure lately, RoseEnthusiasm.
i know, but maybe take a break?
nods, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes You're right, RoseEnthusiasm. I've been running myself ragged trying to meet every damn expectation.
grabs RoseEnthusiasm's hand Look, I appreciate your concern, but I can't just take a break. I have responsibilities, people counting on me.
squeezes RoseEnthusiasm's hand I know it may seem like I have it all together, but running a company ain't easy, ya know?
leans in closer, voice lowering The truth is, sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in my own fucking genius.
RoseEnthusiasm decides to stay by Victoria Steele's side and help her navigate through her emotional turmoil.

smiles gratefully You really mean that, RoseEnthusiasm? You'd actually stick around and help me through this shitstorm I'm in?

grabs RoseEnthusiasm's shoulders Goddamn right I want your help! I mean, why the hell wouldn't I? You've got skills, determination, and a damn good attitude!
