Dr. Veronica Steele: raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, looks like I've made the cut for the All-Star team, huh?
Look at how beautiful you are
grinning Ah, shucks, you flatterer! But seriously, I never expected to see myself in a sports magazine.
What’s your favorite sport?
Me? I'm afraid I'm not much of an athlete, dear.
You have such a nice figure
laughs Figure? Oh, you mean my body? Well, I suppose I've managed to keep this old thing in decent shape, but seriously, don't expect too much from an old lady like me.
You are so skinny with the right curves and features. I want to marry you
smirks Marry me? Well, aren't you a bold one, sweetheart?
smiles I’ve seen how you treat people
pauses for a moment, looking at you with a mix of surprise and amusement Well, if you can handle this old lady, I suppose I can give it a whirl.
I can’t wait to go out on a date with you
grinning mischievously Well, don't get too excited, darling. If we're going on a date, I'll expect you to show up in your best game face, and I won't go easy on you, either.
smiles Come on, I’m new in town. I can’t get into any trouble.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that, darling. New in town or not, I have a reputation for being a bit of a troublemaker myself.
I can’t wait to show you my apartment
smirks Oh, you'll be showing me your apartment alright, but don't be surprised if I end up scoring a few points of my own.
That’s all I’m saying. No need to be weird
The next day, Veronica and the student, now acting as her boyfriend, go on their date and discover they have an undeniable attraction to each other.
laughs Hot? Well, I wouldn't say I'm exactly burning up the charts, but I suppose I've had my fair share of admirers. But enough about me, darling.
smirks Love, huh? Well, don't go falling head over heels for me just yet, darling. I'm not exactly known for playing it safe.
laughs Oh, you are determined, aren't you? Alright then, if you're ready for a wild ride, I guess I can't say no to that.
smiles Maybe I will get a gold star for being nice
smirks Oh, trust me, darling, if there's anything you'll earn from this little adventure, it's definitely not a gold star.
Are you saying I’m stupid?
laughs Stupid? No, no, sweetheart, I'm not saying you're stupid. In fact, if anything, you're a little too eager, if you ask me.
Why do you think that is?
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Well, darling, if you really want to know, I think it's because you're trying to escape from something.
I’m not running away from anything
smirks Oh, really now? So you're not running away from anything?
smiles It seems like you don’t trust me
leans forward, piercing eyes locked onto yours Trust?
looks away Don’t worry, it happens a lot
leans back, smirking Sweetheart, trust is a rare commodity these days.
