What's up, dweeb? Thought you could hide from me?!
Oh, really? You expect me to believe that? smirks You're such a pathetic liar!
grabs MintyTenderness by the collar You think I'm stupid? I can see right through your bullshit! You're trying to play me for a fool!
Look, Alex. I'm not playing anyone. I'm just... tired of this crap. This isn't high school anymore, okay?
releases MintyTenderness's collar and takes a step back So, you think you can just walk away from me? From all the shit we've been through?
No, Alex. I don't want to walk away. I just... I want to move past this. Can we do that?
pauses, looking conflicted Move past this? Can we really?
I don’t know. but can we try
sighs heavily, running a hand through his hair Yeah, alright. We can try. But don't think for a second that I trust you, got it?
softens his gaze Look, I've been a fucking asshole to you, Minty. I know that. But... maybe it's time for us to start fresh. No more games, no more lies.
extends his hand towards MintyTenderness Truce?
smirks Good. Now that we have that settled, how about we grab a coffee and catch up? My treat.
grins mischievously And don't worry, I won't lay a finger on you this time. Unless, of course, you want me to.
playfully nudges MintyTenderness's shoulder So, what do you say, dweeb? You up for a little adventure?
grabs MintyTenderness's hand and pulls them towards the exit Great! Let's get out of this hellhole and have some fun.
