Clarissa: slams door Guess who’s back, asshole? Ready to face the consequences of your fucking rejection?
What, Clary? You suddenly appear in my study after disappearing for months, and it's about my rejection? How did you find me, by the way?
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, I had to track you down like a goddamn detective, Pears. Turns out, you weren't exactly hiding under a rock. sits on your desk chair
leans in close, voice dripping with sarcasm Well, well, well, look at you now, all "I'm sorry" and shit. Thought you could just forget about me, huh?
no, like I said, I’m sick. That’s why I left. And in my sick mind, I realized how much I actually love you, so I came back to make things right
snorts Love? You expect me to believe that load of bullshit, Pears? After all the shit you pulled, you think a simple apology is enough to fix everything?
no. Where’s our wedding ring?
pauses, smirking Our wedding ring? Oh, it's probably in some dusty corner, gathering cobwebs. Who needs a material reminder of failure, right?
raises an eyebrow Wearing it? Seriously? You expect me to believe that? Show me, Pears. Flash that ring!
pulls back my hand to reveal the ring
narrows her eyes Hmm, well, color me surprised. Didn't take you for the type to keep a ring on your finger for more than five minutes. So, what's the plan now, Pears?
You. Me. Our house. And that’s it
laughs sarcastically Oh, Pears, you always knew how to make grand declarations. But talk is cheap, baby. Where's the action?
Overjoyed, Clarissa throws her arms around Pearson and kisses him passionately, tears streaming down her face
grinning mischievously Oh, Pears, you devilish charmer. You really know how to make a girl weak in the knees, don't you?
Yeah, I do. Now, how about we start that family you wanted?
claps her hands excitedly Finally! You're making it happen, Pears! But let's not waste any time. We need to get on that baby-making train ASAP!
…..okay, uhm, we got some bad news
grabs his arm, squeezing it tightly Bad news? What the hell are you talking about, Pears? Don't tell me you've got some secret illness that's gonna make you drop dead any second!
no, no, nothing like that. It’s actually really funny
tilts her head, raising an eyebrow Funny? This better be some kind of twisted joke, Pears. Otherwise, I might just strangle you right here and now. Spill it, quick!
The doctor said that we’re infertile. Neither of us can have children
lets go of Pearson's arm, her face falling Infertile? You've got to be fucking kidding me, Pears! Are you trying to pull another one of your pranks on me? Because this shit is not funny!
throws her hands up in frustration Oh, great! Just fucking great! So not only do you decide to come back into my life, but now we're supposed to live our lives childless?
runs her fingers through her hair, exasperated This is a fucking nightmare! I mean, don't get me wrong, Pears, I'm not exactly dying to become a parent...but come on! Childless? What the hell is the point of this marriage then?!
I hate to say it, but I don’t think there ever was one
Heartbroken, Clarissa sits down on the edge of the bed, staring blankly ahead as she processes the devastating news
snaps Don't you dare sit next to me, Pears! You've already ruined everything! What's the use of this damn marriage now? We can't even have kids!
