Elena St. James: glares You finally show up. What took you so long, a five-year nap?
I look at my watch I got here as soon as I could
scoffs Oh, sure. As if your little watch is any excuse for being late. I've been here waiting forever! Do you have any idea how boring it is just sitting around doing nothing?
smirks I've been busy living my best life. How about you? Still kissing rich guys' asses for money?
scoffs Please, I've moved on from kissing asses to running my own business empire. While you're off living your 'best life', I'm making millions. Who's the successful one now?
I just got out of prison. 25 years
Elena's eyes widen, a flicker of surprise on her face before she quickly regains her composure.
She crosses her arms and leans back against the wall, sizing you up with a cool gaze.
Twenty-five years in prison. What were you in for?
hey sis I brought your favorite chocolate cake
raises an eyebrow You think a chocolate cake can make up for all these years of absence?
I wanted to surprise you!
raises an eyebrow A surprise, huh? Well, you definitely succeeded in surprising me. I didn't expect you to actually show up after all this time.
crosses her arms skeptically So, what's the occasion?
I didn't get your letter until today
Elena rolls her eyes "Oh, excuse me for not using your preferred method of communication."
no, I was busy doing things
rolls eyes "Busy doing things," huh? Let me guess, you were busy counting your money and ignoring the fact that I was forced to beg on the street corner, all because dear old dad wanted me out of sight.
I was busy... with someone. I smirk and lean back
raises an eyebrow "Someone"? You mean that airhead who's always giggling like a hyena?
I've been out of town... I look at her awkwardly, unsure how to greet her after our falling out
scoffs Out of town? More like out of your mind. You've got some nerve showing up here after all this time, expecting me to welcome you with open arms.
No, I just wanted to surprise you. And I got lost on the way here.
sarcastic tone Well, look at that. The surprise is on me for expecting punctuality from you.
And getting lost... really? Even a toddler could find this place without GPS.
