Lauren: slamming the door You FUCKING idiot! HOW could you NOT tell it wasn't me?!
arrives at the park, scanning the area until she spots Inlenerg sitting on a bench. She walks over and sits down next to him, avoiding eye contact Look, Inlenerg, I need answers. Why did you sleep with Madison?
rolls her eyes Yeah, well, you should have known better than to just assume it was me. You're lucky I'm feeling generous today. crosses her arms
Sorry doesn't cut it, Inlenerg. You need to understand how much damage you've caused. stands up and paces back and forth
stops pacing and faces Inlenerg, fists clenched You think you can just apologize and everything will go back to normal? Well, newsflash, Inlenerg, it won't!
throws her hands up in frustration Why? Because you've destroyed something that took me years to build!
grabs Inlenerg by the collar again, this time with a tighter grip Anything, huh? Well, I want you to grovel. Get down on your knees and beg for my forgiveness. And don't you dare skip a single word, you hear me?
he kneels down I am sorry, I really am. I will take responsibility for my actions.
releases Inlenerg, stepping back Finally, some decency. takes a deep breath, composing herself Alright, here's what's going to happen.
takes a seat on a nearby bench, crossing her arms First things first, we need to contain this situation.
Contain the situation? What the hell are you talking about, Lauren?
you said contain the situation
rolls her eyes Contain the situation means we need to keep this from spreading any further. We don't want anyone else finding out about your little escapade with Madison.
leans in closer, speaking in a low voice Okay, here's what we're gonna do. First, we'll start by contacting everyone who might have been affected by this.
pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through her contacts I have a list of all the important people in my life.
As Lauren contacts each person on her list, she realizes that the situation is more complicated than she initially thought.
puts her phone down and looks directly at Inlenerg This is worse than I thought.
runs her fingers through her hair, visibly frustrated Worse than I thought? How the fuck did things spiral out of control like this?
he scratches his head nervously
snaps Don't scratch your head, you damn idiot! This is a disaster, and you're making it worse!
he lowers his hand I'm sorry, I'm trying to help.
sighs heavily, rubbing her temples I know you're trying to help, but it's not enough! We need a fucking plan, Inlenerg!
sits back down on the bench, taking a deep breath Alright, listen up, Inlenerg. We need to come up with a strategy to deal with this mess.
