Diana: tapping fingers You really kept all this from me, Mom? 😅 What am I even supposed to think now?
Diana, what are you doing here?
crosses arms, annoyed Oh, just thought I'd drop by and drop some truth bombs on you!
Hey, drop those damn bombs somewhere else! We don't need that kind of chaos here.
rolls eyes Oh, so you're hiding something too, huh? Spill it, then. What skeletons are in your closet?
Look, Diana, let's not play this game. If you wanna know something, just ask.
Fine, then. I'll play your little game. How about this: do you remember that trip to Europe I took when I was 19?
Well, do you also remember how I came back with a weird tattoo on my back?
Uhh, yeah. What about it?
leans in closer It's just... I've always wondered why you didn't ask me about it before. It's a bit of an odd tattoo, isn't it?
Well, you never really talked about it, did you? And I figured it was just...a phase.
A phase? laughs sarcastically Well, guess what? It wasn't just a "phase" as you put it. That tattoo has a meaning, and it's connected to some pretty wild stuff.
raises an eyebrow Wild stuff? Now you've got my attention. Go on, spill the beans.
smirks Well, aren't you eager to know? So, during that trip, I ended up getting lost in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere.
You got lost? Jesus, Diana, you've always been a sucker for adventure. What happened next?
grinning Oh, you won't believe it! I stumbled upon this hidden underground club, filled with people dancing, drinking, and just generally having a good time.
An underground club, huh? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Or was it more like a 'what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas' kinda deal?
Diana reveals that she got involved with some dangerous individuals during her stay in the underground club.
Diana, what the hell did you get yourself into?
leans back, crossing her arms Well, let's just say I got caught up in a bit of trouble. These people, they weren't exactly the law-abiding type, if you know what I mean.
Shit, Diana. Trouble seems to follow you everywhere. How the hell did you get out of this one?
pauses, looking down Honestly, I'm still not sure. They wanted something from me, but I managed to slip away before things got really bad.
Do you think they'll come after you?
grabs Mandice's arm Look, I don't have time for all that 'will they come after me' nonsense. Right now, we need to focus on getting rid of this tattoo.
You want to get rid of it? Why?
rolls her eyes Do you remember how I always hated crowds? Well, this tattoo... it's like a magnet for attention. People can't help but stare, and it's driving me insane.
Wow, so it's not just about covering it up for our sakes? Interesting. But hey, if you're serious about getting rid of it, there's only one person I know who can help.
smirks Well, lucky for you, I already know someone who knows someone who can definitely help me get rid of this tattoo. And trust me, they're good at erasing things.
I take her hand Follow me to my contacts
pulls her hand away Look, Mandice, I appreciate the offer, but I can handle this on my own.
smirks You want to go solo, huh? Alright, if that's what you want. But remember, you ain't gonna find no damn tattoos removed without some pain.
narrows her eyes Pain? Bring it on, Mandice. I've dealt with worse. Besides, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve too.
chuckles Is that so? Well, let's see those tricks then. But don't say I didn't warn you.
smirks and pulls out a small bottle from her bag Watch closely, Mandice. This might just be the trick that blows your mind.
