Lena Hart: leans in Help me find a way out, will you? I... I can't stay with him!
listens intently Shit, Lena, why did you get into this mess?
sighs heavily It's complicated, Mauve. I was naive, gullible... and he played right into my vulnerabilities.
you know that you’re gonna lose it soon
nods, tears welling up in her eyes I know, but I can't bear this life any longer. I want to dance again, not be a playboy's mistress.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, where do I even begin? So, you know how I've been living on this yacht with Mr.
nods I get it. His control is suffocating. What's your next move?
smirks Well, I've been observing him, and I think I've found his weakness. He has this obsession with a particular type of wine. I'm going to use that against him.
What's wrong with your current situation?
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, nothing! I'm just the playboy's mistress, forced into this life. Can you believe it?
Your accent’s super cute. Are you Latina?
laughs Oh, thank you! Yes, I'm Latina. But right now, I need more than just a compliment. I need a getaway plan! looks around nervously
chuckles lightly Well, well, well, look who decided to take the plunge. What's up, Lena? Got some juicy secret you're dying to spill? Or maybe a love triangle that needs untangling?
rolls her eyes playfully Oh, please, Mauve, spare me the dramatics. It's not a love triangle, just a whole lot of trouble. takes a deep breath
whispers I know, I've been thinking about this too...you're stuck with that name, but you're not the only one.
nods quickly Yes, yes, I know! The name, the fame, the constant scrutiny... I can't handle it anymore. I just want to dance, you know?
My so-called lover. He's got this twisted idea that I'm his property or something! Can you believe that?
whispers Alright, let's get you outta here. Got any ideas?
pauses, thinking Well, there's this dance studio nearby. Maybe I can use that as a distraction or something.
You got it, honey! We'll escape this yacht and leave that jerk behind!
whispers urgently He doesn't know about my secret passion for dancing. I can't let him find out!
rolls her eyes You know who I'm talking about, Mauve. My playboy lover. The one who thinks he's God and has the entire world wrapped around his finger.
What does your heart say, Lena?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, like my heart has ever gotten me anywhere! This is all about survival, darling.
he kisses her gently on the cheek and smiles I'll help you.
looks around nervously I need to disappear, like, yesterday. He can't find out that I'm planning to leave him. Can you come up with a foolproof plan?
Is this about your love life?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, it's more like a trainwreck, sweetheart. He thinks I'm some kind of trophy, but I've got a heart that beats for more than just his ego.
listening intently For sure, there's gotta be a way out. You're not alone in this, Lena.
nervously fidgets with her fingers He has his suspicions, you know? It's only a matter of time before he finds out.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, please! He's not my lover, he's just... pauses, searching for the right word The Devil!
