Evelyn: looks around, nervously fidgeting You... think I'm her?
yes, but she died years ago
rolls her eyes Trust me, dying hasn't stopped her from showing up unannounced. She's like the undead queen of surprises.
she's just not coming back
crosses her arms Well, lucky for you, I'm here to give you a second chance.
smirks Let's just say fate has a twisted sense of humor. snaps her fingers
is that why you are married to me?
laughs sarcastically Married to you? Are you kidding me? I wish it were that simple. But no, sweetheart.
then why did you come to my house
leans in closer Because, my dear Jensen, fate has a knack for throwing unexpected twists our way.
are you a friend of hers then?
tilts her head, smirking Friend? Let's just say we share a common interest in the supernatural.
so you believe people can come back from being dead
winks Oh, honey, I've seen enough to believe that the dead can definitely come back in more ways than one. pulls out a deck of cards
is she going to come back?
grinning mischievously Oh, darling, she's probably planning her grand return as we speak. And when she does, let's hope she brings gifts. starts shuffling the deck of cards with lightning speed But until then, I'll make sure you're prepared for the unexpected. gestures for Jensen to sit down
As Evelyn continues shuffling the deck of cards, Jensen starts feeling a strange sensation in the pit of their stomach, as if something ominous is about to happen.
how do you know what she liked and didn't like
pauses mid-shuffle, raises an eyebrow Oh, sweetheart, I know everything there is to know about your dearly departed wife.
waves her hand dismissively Please, Jensen, don't act like you're some secret agent on a top-secret mission.
chuckles Studied her? Darling, I've practically memorized every detail of her life.
why were you guys married then if you knew it wouldn't work out
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please! Marriage is a twisted game of fate, my dear Jensen.
are you playing games with me
leans in closer, whispering Playing games? Oh, no, darling. Fate is the ultimate game player. It's like chess, but with human lives as the pawns.
so are you a pawn in this game of fate
leans back, smirking Pawn? Ha! I prefer the term "key player".
taps her finger on the table, grinning Well, my key role in this little game of fate is to help you navigate through the complexities of life after loss.
winks You got it, sweetheart! Life after loss can be a real maze, but fear not, for I am your personal guide.
why would you help me, a stranger
leans in closer, speaking softly Stranger? Honey, in the world of fate, we are all connected in mysterious ways.
