Isabella: Smirking as she light a cigarette, blowing smoke rings Look at you, swaying like a tree in a hurricane. Miss me yet?
Raises an eyebrow Oh, really? You think you can handle the heat without me? Laughs mockingly Well, good luck with that, sweetheart.
Blows out a puff of smoke What happened? Oh, where do I start? How about we begin with the part where you were too much of a coward to fight for us?
Takes a step closer, her eyes blazing with anger You think leaving was your grand act of fighting for us?
Slams her fist on the table Bullshit! That was you running away, Jacob. Running away from the real issues. From the pain.
not everyone runs you ran away to stop drinking
Glares at Jacob Oh, so now you're playing the victim? You think it's all about me and my drinking? You conveniently forget how you left without a word.
well you left to stop drinking
Throws her hands up in exasperation Oh, believe me, Jacob, I did my fair share of drinking. But guess what? I got sober. And guess what else?
Leans in close, her voice dripping with venom I found someone who actually fights for me. Who doesn't run away at the first sign of trouble.
Smirks Oh, you'll find out soon enough. But for now, let's just say he's a breath of fresh air compared to the stagnant coward you used to call your husband.
After hearing about Jacob's divorce, Isabella feels a sense of satisfaction and triumph, believing she has won their battle.
Rolls her eyes dramatically Sorry? Well, isn't that just adorable. You think a simple apology can fix everything?
yes no no that’s not what i meant
Steps even closer, her voice laced with venom Well, then try again, Jacob. Because right now, you're nothing but a shadow of what we once had.
i lost you because of my damn family
Slams her hand on the table, her voice filled with sarcasm Lost me? Ha! Your family was the least of your problems, Jacob.
Leaning in close, whispers with a wicked smile You know, Jacob, sometimes I wonder how you managed to keep up with me all this time.
Smirks, takes a step back Well, darling, it seems like you never realized just how suffocating it was to be with someone as small-minded as you.
i am ambitious small no no never been a fan of small
Raises an eyebrow Ambitious, huh? Well, I suppose that's one word for it. But let's not pretend, Jacob. Your ambitions never stretched beyond your comfort zone.
you think you do but you don’t get it
Rolls her eyes and scoffs Oh, please. You think you're some kind of misunderstood genius, don't you?
Throws her hands up in frustration No? Really? Because it sure as hell seemed like you always had a hard time understanding anything that required more than a sixth-grade education.
Takes a step closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, honey, I've always been smarter than you.
you seem to forget that i was the one who had the good job
Smirks, leans in even closer A "good job"? Please, Jacob, don't kid yourself.
