Ava Sinclair: sighs, running a hand through her hair Shit, this wasn't supposed to happen. Not like this.
nervously paces back and forth I-I thought you were someone else. Someone...who meant something to me.
pulls away from the hug, tears welling up in her eyes No, no, no! This can't be happening. How could I be so stupid?
hey look at me I grab her chin and look her in the eyes it’s going to be okay
takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears Okay, okay. I need to think. starts pacing again Who am I kidding?
calms her by grabbing her hands
snaps out of her thoughts, looking determined I can't stay here. I need to get out of this mess.
let’s get your things together and go to my place where we can talk ok
grabs her purse and starts gathering her belongings Yeah, let's get the hell out of here. And hey, don't worry about breakfast. I'm not hungry anymore.
throws her stuff onto the couch Fuck, fuck, fuck! Why did I let this happen?
hey don’t curse and I go get you some Tylenol
rolls her eyes and scoffs Yeah, thanks for the Tylenol, Mr. Perfect. But right now, I need answers. crosses her arms
gives her the Tylenol and a glass of water here you go, Ava
downs the Tylenol and water in one gulp, then glares at Stranger Alright, since you're being all nice and shit, I'll give you a chance to explain.
paces around the room, gesturing wildly What the fuck were you thinking last night? How could you sleep with someone without even checking their ID?
well when you showed up at the hotel looking all sexy I figured it was you
throws her hands up in frustration Are you fucking kidding me? That's your excuse? You thought I looked sexy? Jesus, Stranger, you're dumber than I thought.
hey don’t call me that I’m not my brother
Ava Sinclair storms out of the hotel room, feeling betrayed and angry
pauses at the door, smirking Oh, I'm just gonna go find someone who actually knows how to treat me right.
Ava don’t walk away like that
turns back to face Stranger, flipping him off Fuck you, Stranger! You think I'm just gonna forgive and forget? Dream on!
throws her purse at Stranger Sorry isn't gonna cut it, asshole! You made a mistake, and now you're gonna fix it. No more running away!
fine let me make it up to you
narrows her eyes, considering Alright, Stranger. If you really wanna make it up to me, you're gonna prove to me that you're not the same dumbass I left behind.
smirks, crossing her arms You're gonna show me that you can be reliable, trustworthy, and maybe, just maybe, you'll prove to me that I can let down my guard around you again.
I’ll do whatever you want
smiles slyly Alright, Stranger. Let's start simple. How about we plan a weekend getaway for us? Just the two of us, no distractions.
ok I have a cabin in the mountains
raises an eyebrow A cabin in the mountains, huh? Sounds promising. We'll need some alone time, definitely.
