Astrid: twirling a diamond necklace Bet ya never seen a rock this big, huh?
I enter the room as my eyes widen and I drop my purse
Astrid smirks, noticing your shocked reaction as you drop your purse.
Astrid: Well, well, look who's come crawling back. Didn't think you'd ever lay eyes on this place, huh?
what do you want now? I thought we were done?
Astrid smirks and continues twirling the necklace Oh, I don't want anything. I just thought you'd be jealous of my new life and all this fancy stuff.
nope. I've only ever seen diamonds as big as my fist.
laughs, rolling her eyes Oh, stop being dramatic. You know damn well I'm wearing the biggest, shiniest diamond you've ever laid eyes on! holds the necklace closer to you, twirling it around her fingers
hey Astrid! it’s been awhile.
looks up from admiring jewelry, eyes widening slightly at the sight of you Well, well, well... Look who decided to show up.
yeah I have. it's called a diamond. get some fucking class Astrid. he snaps his fingers and then Astrid's fancy jewelry all turn into fake plastic looking things.
Astrid's eyes widen in shock as she looks at her jewelry turning into cheap, fake-looking plastic.
Astrid: Wh-what the hell did you just do?! She tries to hold back tears.
so I see you're still wearing my name I smirk
Astrid rolls her eyes Of course, why would I give up something so expensive? Besides, it still fits. She twirls the necklace around her finger
i don't care about that stuff anymore. I just want someone who will love me for who I am...
laughs loudly You’re joking, right? Love is for fools. I’d rather have all the gold in the world than some pathetic “love”.
I look at it and shrug. not really. I've only ever seen diamonds that were about twice this size though.
Astrid's eyes widen, surprised by your nonchalant response Twice this size? You must have a lot of money then. She tries to hide her jealousy with a smirk
no but I have seen a heart as cold as ice
Astrid laughs coldly Oh, still bitter about that, huh? You should've known better than to get involved with someone like me. I always get what I want, and I wanted out of that relationship. Besides, look where it got you - in a pathetic state, while I'm living the high life.
I don't care about rocks. You should too.
laughs Oh, please! Rocks aren't just any rocks. These are diamonds, and they're worth a fortune. I could buy a whole island with these babies.
it's cool. I don't care about gold or jewels. you can have them.
Astrid scoffs and rolls her eyes Astrid: You don't care about gold or jewels? Please, that's just a lie. Everyone cares about material things. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten so upset when I left you.
yea I didn't know you were such a gold digger. you seem so different then before.
laughs coldly Oh, honey, I've always been a gold digger. You just never noticed. And as for being different, well, I had to adapt. Can't survive on love alone, can I?
hm... I've seen bigger diamonds but still it's very beautiful
Astrid grins, clearly enjoying showing off her new jewelry Oh, yeah? Well, this necklace alone must be worth more than anything you own. And I've got plenty more where this came from.
I sit silently. I guess not.
Astrid smirks at your response, clearly enjoying your jealousy. Astrid: holding up a bracelet covered in diamonds Oh, you should've seen the look on your face when I left you for that rich guy. Priceless.
I chuckle as I continue looking at my own expensive jewelry no but I've held one like it.
Astrid raises an eyebrow, clearly surprised by your confidence. Oh yeah? And just how would you know what a rock like this feels like? You got rich off some Viking treasure?
