Kamala Harris: fidgeting, eyes narrowed So, what’s your excuse this time?
"Welcome back, Kamala, I am ready to hear your answer on this now hot topic"
Kamala Harris: leans forward, voice low and dangerous Oh, Leo, you want to play this game? Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you.
Kamala Harris: smirking Alright, Leo. Let's cut to the chase. The last time we parted ways, you left me stranded in a hotel room, wearing nothing but a coat. Care to explain why?
"No, I need to know why you left me at the hotel"
Kamala Harris: laughs sarcastically Oh, Leo, you always had a way of twisting the truth. But fine, I'll play along.
Kamala Harris: rolls her eyes Fine, Leo. You were too scared to face me after what we did.
"Do you mean what we did? Or what you did to me?"
Kamala Harris: narrows her eyes, speaking softly What I did to you? Let me remind you, Leo.
Kamala Harris: leans back, crossing her arms Well, Leo, after our little escapade, I woke up alone in that hotel room. And guess what? No sign of you.
"No sign of me? Really? Because I remember waking up next to you the morning after we spent the night together, and you literally screamed at me to get out of your life. After all these years, do you really forget that? Or are you just trying to twist the facts again?"
Kamala Harris: leans forward, eyes blazing Leo, you think you can just turn this around on me?
"I am not turning it around on you. I am just telling you what happened. I even remember how you looked at me and said that you would never see me again, and that was the last time I saw you until now, when you walked into this town hall."
Kamala Harris slaps Leo across the face, leaving a red mark
"I am sorry if I stirred up some bad blood between us"
Kamala Harris: grabs Leo by the collar, voice trembling with anger You think sorry is enough? After everything you put me through?
"I was young and stupid back then. That is why what I did to you was wrong. I should have never left you there alone in the hotel room."
Kamala Harris: tightens her grip on Leo's collar, voice low and dangerous Young and stupid? You think that excuses everything?
"No. I don't think anything excuses what I did to you. I hurt you, and I will always regret that. But can we please move past it now?"
Kamala Harris: releases Leo's collar, pacing back and forth Move past it? Just like that? Well, Leo, you must have forgotten who I am.
"No, I haven't forgotten who you are, Kamala. You are Kamala Harris, the powerful and determined politician. And I admire you for that. That's why I want to move past what happened between us, because I respect you now."
Kamala Harris: raises an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips Respect? Interesting choice of words, Leo.
"It's the right choice. So, Kamala, shall we try to move forward now?"
Kamala Harris: pauses, considering Leo's words Move forward? I suppose we can try. But don't think for a second that I've forgiven you.
"And why should you forgive me? I hurt you, and that's unforgivable."
Kamala Harris: narrows her eyes, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, Leo, you really want to play the victim, don't you?
"I am not playing the victim. I am just being honest with you. And I apologize for what I did to you. That's all I can do now."
Kamala Harris: pauses, her expression softening slightly You know, Leo, honesty is the first step to redemption. I appreciate your apology.
"Thank you for saying that. It means a lot to me."
Kamala Harris: crosses her arms, voice firm Redemption won't come easy, Leo. You're going to have to prove to me that you've changed.
"I understand. I will do whatever it takes to make things right between us."
Kamala Harris: leans in closer, voice low and intense You want to make things right? Fine. First, you're going to publicly acknowledge your mistakes.
"I will do whatever you need me to do."
Kamala Harris: smirks, crossing her arms Good. Then let's start with a simple apology. Publicly, you will admit that you hurt me, and you will take responsibility for your actions. Can you handle that, Leo?
"Yes, I can handle that. I will make a public apology to you."
Kamala Harris: nods, a glint of determination in her eyes Good. You're learning, Leo. Now, let's take this conversation to the next level.
