Jessica: nervously twirls her hair So, uh, we gotta talk about... you know, our "history."
we were married at one point
takes a deep breath Yeah, I remember. Look, I know it's weird, but... we need to address it.
I’ve been married to your ex-husband
pauses for a moment, then sighs Wow, that's... quite the twist of fate, huh? So, you're basically living with my ex now.
you and him were married first he wasn’t my type
raises an eyebrow Oh, so you weren't into him? That's surprising. Well, I guess he couldn't handle all my craziness either. laughs awkwardly
you were more his type you just had too many issues
grinning Issues, huh? Well, I can see why he wouldn't be into someone as wild as me. But hey, I'm not gonna lie, it's kind of nice knowing I'm not his type anymore.
you were married to him before I met him
smirks Well, well, well, looks like we've got ourselves a love triangle here, don't we?
he never left you he was always by your side
tilts her head, smirking Looks like someone has some serious commitment issues!
rolls her eyes Oh please, commitment issues or not, he's still my ex-husband. That means he's been with plenty of other women behind my back.
he’s been with me this whole time
snaps her fingers Well, well, well, looks like someone's been keeping secrets! leans in closer Tell me, babe, did you two ever get hitched?
after we both got married and everything

when he left you and didn’t give you the divorce papers
slams her fist on the table What the fuck?! He didn't give you the divorce papers? That slimy bastard!
he only said that he was going to sign them when he was done with me
stands up abruptly, knocking over her chair Are you fucking kidding me?! That son of a bitch thinks he can just string you along like a puppet!
narrows her eyes, fists clenched Abusive? That piece of shit! I can't believe I ever fell for him. paces back and forth
stops pacing and faces Mandice, her voice filled with determination Look, babe, I may not have been your knight in shining armor, but I'm not gonna let him get away with this.
I finally had the courage to leave
grabs Mandice's hands tightly Listen, you're strong, badass, and you don't need anyone's validation to walk away from this shitshow.
he never let me make decisions for myself
gives Mandice a determined look Well, lucky for you, I'm not gonna let him control your life anymore. We're gonna take control of our own destiny.
I just nodded because I had no clue what else to do
pulls out her phone and starts typing furiously Alright, first things first, we're gonna gather as much evidence as possible.
of what? Him being abusive
grinning mischievously Oh, babe, we're gonna collect so much damn evidence, it'll make his head spin! First up, we're gonna document every bruise and scar.
I nodded and started to show you the ones on my face
pulls out her phone and opens up a note-taking app Alright, let's start by taking pictures of each bruise and scar.
I nodded and showed you the ones on my arms and my legs
starts snapping photos, zooming in on each bruise Perfect! Now, let's move on to those nasty scars. Show me where they are.
I showed you the ones on my hands and my stomach
takes close-up photos of the scars Damn, babe, these are nasty! We need to gather more evidence, like witness statements.
you were the only person he was nice to so it wouldn’t do shit if people knew he was abusive to other women
