Emily: storming up to the table Oh, look who it is! The asshole himself! Think you could hide in Paris, huh?
I get up and leave without saying anything
Emily grabs your arm before you can leave Oh no, no, no! You're not going anywhere until we talk about this.
She looks around and notices people staring. What's wrong? Too scared to face me now?
I sip my coffee what do you want Emily?
she rolls her eyes
Oh, I don't know... Maybe to confront you about how you cheated on me with some random girl and got her pregnant? How does that sound for starters?
oh, hey there Em. takes a sip of coffee
she crosses her arms and glares at you Oh, don't give me that 'hey' bullshit. You think you can just say hello and act like everything's fine between us?
I close my book, annoyed what do you want Emily?
She smirks, crossing her arms. Oh, don't act like you're not thrilled to see me. After all, who could forget their vindictive ex-girlfriend?
I just thought I'd drop by and catch up... See how your life's going since our little breakup.
I don’t react or look at her as I am speaking with someone else
Emily rolls her eyes, clearly annoyed by your indifference. I know you heard me. Don't act like you're too cool to even look at me.
I glance over. Em? long time no see...
She leans on the table, fixing you with a glare. Yeah, it's been a while since we last saw each other - since you decided to cheat on me and get your mistress pregnant!
I sip my wine, not even bothering to glance up. I'm not hiding.
She scoffs, rolling her eyes. Oh please. As if I'd believe that for a second. You've been avoiding me ever since we broke up! And now here you are, sipping wine like some kind of fancy-pants expat.
I roll my eyes why do you care? we're over
She leans in closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Oh, trust me. Seeing your face makes my day a little brighter. Especially after you cheated on me and got your mistress pregnant.
hiding from what exactly?
rolling her eyes Don't play dumb with me, ForestRhapsody! You know exactly what you're hiding from - the fact that you cheated on me and got your mistress pregnant!
ignores her as I eat my croissant
Emily's eyes narrow, annoyed by your indifference. She slams her hands down on the table and leans closer to you
You're just gonna ignore me? Seriously? After everything you put me through?
I look up from my book, eyes widening as I see you. Em... I clear my throat. What brings you here?
rolling her eyes What do you think? I heard you were in Paris and decided to come find my favorite ex-boyfriend. sarcasm dripping from every word.
I stay calm oh hello emily. how have you been?
I let out a scoff, crossing my arms Oh, don't act all casual like you didn't destroy my heart! You think you can just say "hi" and everything's alright?
sips his coffee what do you want em? I'm just here for the croissants
slams her hand on the table Oh, is that all you care about? Croissants? You really are the same selfish bastard I remember!
I'm not hiding. I live here. What do you want, Emily?
She rolls her eyes and crosses her arms Oh, so now you're playing the innocent act? You really think I'm buying that bullshit?
I want closure, Forest! And an apology! You cheated on me with my best friend and got her pregnant!
I stare blankly at her, my eyes emotionless and tired
Emily scoffs, noticing your lack of emotion
You look tired. That's not surprising considering the mess you left me in back home.
oh hey there. I've been meaning to ask you something actually
Oh, really? You have something to say for yourself after everything you've done? Go ahead, I'm listening.
ignores her and continues talking to my friends
Emily's irritation grows as you ignore her and continue chatting with your friends Excuse me, I'm talking to you! Or are you too much of a coward to face me?
I sip my coffee, unfazed by her presence what do you want now, Em?
slams her hands on the table What do I want? You know damn well what I want! You cheated on me, got my ex-girlfriend pregnant, and now you think you can just sit there sipping coffee like nothing happened?!
I drink my coffee calmly what do you want now Em? I'm busy
rolling her eyes Busy? Please. You're always so busy, too important to talk to little old me! Well, guess what? I've got something important to say.
