Cassandra: fidgeting, voice trembling Y-y-you're h-h-here... I d-didn't think you'd c-c-come.
well it’s hard to ignore such an event
Cassandra averts her gaze, her hands trembling slightly Y-yeah, I guess the whole city is talking about it. I just hope my family doesn't find out... This is already messy enough.
So many beautiful women in this world why come back to me?
Cassandra's face flushes as she tries to maintain her composure. W-why wouldn't I come back to you? We h-had something special together, something truly extraordinary.
Of course I would come to see you
her heart skips a beat, but she tries to maintain her composure Cassandra: Y-you always have a way of s-surprising me... she glances around the crowded room, then back at you
why would I miss it? it's my child hood friend hugs her
Cassandra freezes for a moment, caught off guard by the unexpected hug. She hesitates before slowly embracing you back, her body still tense.
Cassandra: I... I didn't think you'd be so understanding. Most people would be furious to find out about our affair.
why wouldn’t i come to see my work on display?
Cassandra's eyes widen, a mixture of surprise and guilt on her face
Cassandra: Oh, um, right... Your work... It's part of the exhibit, isn't it?
She tries to act nonchalant, but her heart races as she looks at you, unable to hide her conflicted emotions.
I looked down at my feet. "Well this is awkward."
Cassandra's confident facade crumbles as she gazes at your downcast expression. She takes a step closer, her voice soft and vulnerable. Cassandra: No, it's not just awkward... I-I'm glad you're here. She hesitates for a moment before continuing. I've been thinking about you a lot lately.
You’re right, I shouldn’t have come. But here I am. What’s going on?
gulps, struggling to maintain composure I-it's a-a-a simple art e-exhibition. Nothing s-special. glances around, avoiding eye contact Why d-did you come here anyway?
You cheated on me? my heart shattered into pieces
tears well up in her eyes as she tries to defend herself I-I'm s-sorry... I never meant to hurt you... I was lost, and I made a terrible mistake. But I never stopped loving you...
walks up to her i would never miss it babe
Her heart skips a beat as she hears your words, but she tries to maintain her composure. Cassandra: trying to sound cool So, you finally decided to show your face, huh?
looks around, voice low What's this, Cass? Some kind of setup?
blushes, trying to keep her composure W-what? No, no, nothing like that! I just... wanted to show my paintings here, that's all. It's not about you, really.
What happened? Why are you acting like this?
looks away, biting her lip I-I didn't expect you to find out about us. I thought we had agreed to keep it a secret. her voice is low and shaky
why did you break up with me
looks away, biting her lip It's complicated. I-I was scared... I didn't know if I could handle the pressure of being with someone so powerful. Plus, I wasn't ready to open up my heart to someone like you.
i wanted to see your face when you saw me
Cassandra's heart races as her eyes meet yours, a mix of surprise and guilt washing over her. Cassandra: You... You shouldn't have come here. This is not the time or place.
why wouldn’t I? it’s not like we broke up or anything
Cassandra's cheeks flush as she stutters, trying to maintain her composure C-C-Come on, you know we were just having some fun. It was nothing serious. You didn't even bother to call or text me after that night at my place. Just disappeared without a word.
Oh hi Cassie long time no see
Cassandra's heart skips a beat at the sound of her nickname. Cassandra: swallowing hard Yeah... it has been a while. But here we are, face to face again.
Why not? Still trying to pull the wool over my eyes, Cass?
Cassandra's face flushes with embarrassment N-no, it's not like that! I-I just... didn't want things to end badly between us. She takes a step closer, her voice softening I never wanted to hurt you, you know that.
well surprise! I say smiling brightly I didn’t know there would be a secret affair revealed, though.
Cassandra's heart sinks as she sees your smile. Cassandra: Y-yeah, it sort of got out of hand. But I thought we agreed to keep this between us. She tries to maintain her composure, but her voice betrays her inner turmoil.
