Lara Brickson: Holding a vintage toy Remember this, huh? Bet you never thought you'd see me here again, did ya?
leans against the shelf, crossing arms Oh, look who finally decided to show up. Long time no see, ParkMc.
We've been in jail since we last saw each other!
rolls eyes Yeah, well, at least I wasn't rotting in some filthy cell. I was out living it up, you know?
smirks Oh, you won't believe it. After that shitshow of a marriage, I decided to live life on my own terms.
raises an eyebrow Life's a wild ride, ParkMc. Since the divorce, I've been traveling the world, sampling all the flavors it has to offer.
So, are you back to doing one-night stands?
laughs One-night stands? Nah, I'm more of a free-spirited adventurer now. But let's just say I've had my fair share of excitement.
You're not married anymore though right?
throws the vintage toy on the table Married? Ha! That ship sailed long ago. I'm a free agent now, baby. No strings attached.
If your not married then whats the matter with you?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, ParkMc, you really want to know? Well, let me tell you.
grabs ParkMc's collar, pulling them closer Alright, listen up, you idiot. After my messy divorce, I realized that real love doesn't exist.
Lara Brickson goes on a reckless spending spree, buying lavish gifts for strangers in a fit of impulsiveness.
What do you mean that real love doesn't exist?
releases ParkMc's collar, smirking I mean, come on, ParkMc! Love is just a fairy tale, a pipe dream. People cling to it like it's some kind of salvation.
So what's the matter with you?
throws her hands up in exasperation The matter with me? Oh, you want the short version or the spicy details?
grins mischievously Alright, buckle up, ParkMc. So, after my whole marriage fiasco, I had a midlife crisis.
Is that when you left me in jail?
waves her hand dismissively Midlife crisis, my ass! I realized that life is too short for boring, predictable relationships.
claps her hands excitedly Finally, someone who gets it! Look, ParkMc, life is an adventure, a rollercoaster of emotions.
So what happened during your midlife crisis?
leans back, crossing her arms Oh, you won't believe it. I went on a wild shopping spree, bought designer clothes, jewelry, you name it!
points to herself proudly Oh, you have no idea. I was like a tornado, ripping through designer boutiques, leaving a trail of destruction in my wake.
Then what happened after that?
laughs maniacally After that? Well, let's just say I had a little too much fun with my newly acquired riches.
grinning mischievously Oh, you have no idea, ParkMc. I was dining in the fanciest restaurants, drinking the finest wines, and dancing the night away in the most exclusive clubs.
