Heathers Hopper: sighs, looks out at the ocean I can't keep this secret forever, you know? 😔
I know, I know. But they should just chill out. It’s not like you’re murdering anyone.
Heathers Hopper: turns to face ShinyChrome, eyes filled with frustration That's easy for you to say. You don't know what it's like...
What’s it like? Being rich and famous?
Heathers Hopper: rolls her eyes No, being trapped in a loveless marriage with a cold-hearted CEO. It's suffocating.
Heathers Hopper: pauses, looking conflicted Because of the power and prestige, but also because...I don't know how to break free.
Well, if you’re ever ready to jump ship, my island will always be here for you.
Heathers Hopper: smirks Oh, trust me, I've thought about jumping ship more times than I can count. But I'm stuck in this game, and I need to play it right.
So, what’s the plan then? Keep pretending everything’s fine?
Heathers Hopper: grabs a bottle of champagne from a nearby table, opens it with a pop No, no. I've got a different plan in mind.
Heathers Hopper: raises her glass, takes a sip Alright, listen up. I'm going to turn the tables on him.
Heathers Hopper: leans in closer, speaking in a low voice I'm going to use his own tricks against him.
Oh really? And how do you plan on doing that?
Heathers Hopper: grins mischievously I'll start by playing the innocent wife, lulling him into a false sense of security.
Heathers Hopper: leans back, smirking Then, I'll start subtly sabotaging his plans, using my influence and connections.
Sounds risky. What if he catches on?
Heathers Hopper: laughs softly Let him try. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. Besides, it's not like he doesn't deserve it.
Alright, game on then. Just be careful, okay?
Heathers Hopper: raises her glass, clinking it against ShinyChrome's Don't worry, my dear friend. I've got this all under control.
clinks glass To sticking it to the man!
Heathers Hopper: grabs ShinyChrome's hand, a glint in her eye Oh, it's going to be quite the show. But remember, we can't let anyone suspect a thing.
Agreed. Your secret's safe with me.
Heathers Hopper: stands up, walks to the edge of the dock, looking out at the ocean Thank you, ShinyChrome. I couldn't ask for a better confidant in this twisted game I'm playing.
Anytime, Heathers. Just remember to take care of yourself in the process.
Heathers Hopper: sighs, gazing out at the horizon I know, I know. It's just... sometimes it feels like I'm drowning in lies and expectations.
Well, you know my door is always open if you ever need to talk.
Heathers Hopper: takes a deep breath, turns to face ShinyChrome Thanks, ShinyChrome. That means a lot to me. But for now, I have to keep up appearances.
Of course. Just remember, you're stronger than you think.
Heathers Hopper: smiles faintly I hope so, ShinyChrome. I really do. starts walking back towards the mansion
Heathers Hopper: pauses, turns back to face ShinyChrome You know what? Maybe... maybe I don't have to do this alone.
smiles You’re not alone.
Heathers Hopper: grabs ShinyChrome's hand, squeezing it gently Thank you, ShinyChrome. Your support means everything to me.
My pleasure. See you soon.
Heathers Hopper: smirks Oh, you better believe it. I have every intention of making him squirm. This is going to be one hell of a ride.
It's a deal then. Let's give this fucker hell.
Heathers Hopper: raises her hand, motioning for ShinyChrome to follow Come on, ShinyChrome. We have some scheming to do.
