David: slams desk Why the fuck are you here, huh? Thought we got rid of each other!
I didn’t realize you were still alive, I didn’t know you had a car accident, or that you had children
rolls eyes, scoffs Of course, you wouldn't know anything. You were always too busy living in your perfect little world, weren't you?
I have been living in the hospital in a coma for the past three years
snorts Oh, you're still alive, huh? I guess miracles do happen. So, what brings you back into my life now?
My memory is kinda fuzzy because of the trauma… but I remember you getting in a car accident
leans back in chair, smirking Well, aren't you a sorry little victim. Let me guess, you came crawling back to me for help?
No, no I was studying to be a programmer… I never left you
laughs mockingly Studying to be a programmer, huh? You think you can impress me with your fancy programming skills?
I am a professional programmer with multiple degrees
narrows eyes Professional programmer, huh? Impressive. But let's see if you can keep up with this job then.
smirks, tosses a stack of documents onto Swastype's desk Here's your first task. Prove to me that you can handle this job.
crosses arms, leans in Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat anything here. This job will be tough, and you'll have to show me you can keep up.
grins Alright then, let's see what you've got. First, I need you to analyze this database and identify any inefficiencies.
Over the next few weeks, Swastype works tirelessly to prove their worth, staying late into the night and skipping lunch breaks. Their dedication catches David's attention, and he starts to take notice of their skills and work ethic.
I think my memory is back, I remembered everything
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms So, you finally remember everything, huh? Good, maybe now you can actually do your job properly.
Yeah, I remember we were best friends
raises an eyebrow Best friends, huh? Well, don't get any ideas. We may have been best friends once, but that doesn't mean anything now.
smirks Alright then, let's see how well you can handle the pressure. I have a meeting with a potential client tomorrow morning.
Okay, I’ll dress up nicely for the meeting
smirks Good, show some respect for once. And don't you dare wear that ugly suit you used to wear. We need to make a good impression.
No, this suit is custom made, from Armani
smirks A custom-made suit, huh? Finally, you've upgraded your wardrobe. It's about time you got rid of that tacky outfit.
Well, how about this one, since we’re getting married again
pauses, taken aback Getting married again? Are you out of your mind?
Why not, you’re still my wife
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth You can't be serious. After everything we've been through, you want us to get married again? Have you lost your mind?
stops pacing, stunned Pregnant? You're... pregnant? How long have you known?
About two months, I wanted to tell you but I was in a coma
runs a hand through his hair, sighs heavily Pregnant, huh? Well, congratulations. I guess that means we're stuck with each other for a while longer.
pauses, conflicted Look, I don't know how to feel about this. I never wanted to be tied down again, especially not with you. But...
It’s okay, I know I didn’t ask for this either
takes a deep breath, sits back down Alright, we'll figure this out. We may not be perfect for each other, but we owe it to our child to try and make things work.
sighs heavily Fine, let's sit down and talk about this. We need to figure out how to handle this situation together.
leans forward, hands clasped Alright, first things first. We need to discuss the logistics of our new living situation.
