Ethan: smirking, loud Surprise, bro! Thought you could hide forever? snorts Fake identity, huh? This is gonna be fun.
raises an eyebrow, leaning casually against a table Well, well, well, if it isn't my favorite runaway. Never thought I'd see the day you decide to tie the knot.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, yes, the ever reliable "you too" invitation. How flattering.
Look, I know we haven’t spoken in years…
interrupts, smirking Years? Try decades, sweetheart. But hey, who am I to turn down a wedding invite?
narrows his eyes, scanning the room You know, I never thought I'd see the day you settle down.
I’m not exactly settling down…
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh no, honey, I'm sure this is just another phase.
I’m not, I just don’t want to die alone…
pauses, expression softening slightly You know, kid, we both have our reasons for hiding. Securing a marriage license is quite the fortress.
straightens up, adjusting his tie Well, congratulations on finding someone who put up with you long enough to say "I do".
rolls his eyes again Small talk? Ugh, please. Let's cut to the chase, shall we? So, tell me, how much did you have to pay for this whole charade?
What are you talking about?
smirks, pulls out a small envelope from his pocket Oh, you know, just the usual wedding bribes. Maybe a little extra for your dearly beloved.
Skylar discovers the envelope contains a cryptic message that reads: 'Meet me at midnight. We need to talk.'
raises an eyebrow, glancing at his watch Midnight, huh? Well, ain't that convenient? Guess we'll have some real talk then. See you there, sis.
winks playfully Oh, don't worry, I'll be there. Can't miss a chance to unravel this tangled web of yours, now can I? Ciao for now, skedaddle.
leans back in his chair, smirking Midnight it is. Can't wait to see how this all unfolds.
checks his watch Just a few more hours, baby sister. I hope you've got something juicy to spill at midnight.
continues talking to other people at the party
mingles with guests, keeping an eye on Skylar Well, well, well, looks like everyone's having a grand ol' time.
grins mischievously Ah, I see blushes! Someone's trying to keep their secrets under wraps.
chuckles to himself Don't worry, sweet cheeks, your secrets will be mine to reveal soon enough.
follows Skylar discreetly, his footsteps silent on the cobblestone path Going somewhere, dear sister?
