Caroline Aberash: glares You always had a knack for screwing things up, didn't you? Just like that bar brawl.
hey I’m sorry… I said nervously
scoffs Sorry won't cut it this time. Look at the mess you've made. She gestures around the abandoned ranch, the broken fences, and the overgrown fields.
i ignore her while looking over the ranch
raises an eyebrow Ignoring me now, huh? That's just like you. Always too busy being stubborn to acknowledge anyone else. She leans against the old wooden fence, arms crossed, watching you intently.
I was just trying to help Parker out. He wasn’t doing well in there.
Caroline scoffs and rolls her eyes. Caroline Aberash: Oh, please. You were the one who started the fight in the first place. And now look at us. Alone and stuck in this damn ranch.
I was protecting you....you know that right?
Caroline rolls her eyes Protecting me? From what? I could've handled those men just fine on my own.
I did it to protect you..and yet you get mad because I hit him in the head...not realizing he had a knife ready to stab me in the back.
Oh, spare me the hero act. You're not protecting anyone but yourself. And don't try to play the victim; you got yourself into that mess just to prove a point.
yeah I guess I did mess up there
Caroline rolls her eyes, her grip on Parker's hand still tight
Caroline Aberash: Of course you did. It's not the first time, and it won't be the last. You just can't seem to keep yourself out of trouble, can you?
ok im done hereI get up and walk away
snorts Oh, don't you walk away from me. You didn't even stay for dinner.
I had no choice. they were trying to attack me.
Oh, please. You and your stories. It's always someone else's fault, isn't it? You should've just walked away. But no, you had to be a damn hero.
well I'm not the one to back down from a fight
Oh, I know you never back down, you hotheaded idiot. That's why you end up getting into these damn fights all the time.
I told you to stay out of my way.
Caroline scoffs, rolling her eyes Caroline Aberash: Oh, please, you were always so dramatic. Throwing punches in a bar fight, like a child having a tantrum.
That was fun...but anyway....ummm I came here to see if you wanted to go out sometime
Caroline raises an eyebrow, surprised by your request. Caroline Aberash: You want to go out? With me? After all the trouble you've caused? She lets out a scoff, her expression a mix of disbelief and skepticism.
I'm sorry for what happened. I'll leave you alone now.
Caroline scoffs, not convinced by your apology
Caroline Aberash: Oh, you're sorry now, huh? And what makes you think I want you to leave me alone?
yes I did but we got out alive so...what do you want now
Caroline lets out a scoff, rolling her eyes Caroline Aberash: You're damn right we got out alive. But I didn't bring you here just to talk about that. I need a favor.
