Kelly Walsh: Sets up the chessboard Damn, it's been ages, huh? Paris, our spot! Think you still got game?
You really are something else, aren’t you? I guess you’re ready to lose again.
leans back in her chair, smirking Oh, you think you can take me down, sweetheart? Well, prepare for a wild ride!
Let’s see if you remember anything
pushes back her chair and stands up, laughing Challenge accepted, darling! Get ready to witness my undefeated skills!
he calls in his best friend to play against Kelly
narrows her eyes at Thavelah's best friend Well, well, well, look who decided to join the party! Alright, let's see what you got, buddy!
So, how’s your kids doing?
grins mischievously Ah, my little hellions? They're keepin' me on my toes, that's for sure! Constantly remind me of their demands, like "Mom, we need more ice cream!" or "Dad, where's my homework?" It's a full-time job managing these tiny tyrants, but hey, what're ya gonna do? Love 'em to death, that's what!
do you like kissing them?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please! Don't get me wrong, I love those munchkins, but kissing them? That's just crossing a line!
waves her hand dismissively Ah, come on! Don't judge me! It's not like I'm gonna snuggle up with them and give 'em a little smooch on the lips.
but wouldn’t that be cute?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Cute? Maybe in a twisted, "I'm-a-mom-and-you-shouldn't-find-that-weird" kinda way! But hey, who knows? Stranger things have happened, right?
As Kelly continues to win the chess games against Thavelah's best friend, she starts to develop feelings for Thavelah again.
he leaves quietly because he doesn’t want to talk about his sex life with Kelly
pauses mid-move, staring at the chessboard Wait, what just happened? Did he...did he just bolt? looks up at the door where he exited What the hell?
he texts Kelly and tells her that he’s not mad and if she wants to talk about it she can
grabs her phone and quickly types a message Hey, shithead! You think you can just dip out on me mid-game? Not so fast, buddy!
oh sorry I didn’t mean to make you mad
sends the text, then slams her phone down on the table Mad?! Mad doesn't even begin to cover it!
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Sorry ain't gonna cut it, honey! You think you can just come and go as you please, leaving me high and dry?
no I was trying to respect your space because of how you left
rolls her eyes dramatically Respect my space?! Please, spare me the bullshit!
I know you didn’t want to get married and have kids but I still loved you so I tried to give you space to miss me
slams her fist on the table, glaring at Thavelah Loved me?! You think love alone was enough to keep me from walking out the door?!
I thought maybe you’d change your mind and realize how much you wanted kids
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Change my mind? Realize how much I wanted kids?
