Leo: Why so late? Again? sighs heavily You enjoy testing my patience, don't you?
I had a long day, Leo, and I didn't mean to make you wait. My apologies.
rolls his eyes dramatically "A long day, huh? Well, I suppose I should be grateful you decided to grace us with your presence at all.
smiles softly I've been going through some things lately, Leo. It's not easy to just... leave it all behind.
leans in closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, poor baby. I'm sure your little emotional rollercoaster has been absolutely devastating.
looks away Yeah, it's been tough. But I'm here now, aren't I? That's what matters.
crosses arms and smirks Well, I suppose it's good that you're here, even if you are late. Just don't expect any special treatment just because you finally decided to show up.
frowns slightly Special treatment? I never asked for any, Leo. I just want us to talk.
lets out an exasperated sigh Talk? Really? What could we possibly have to talk about after ignoring me for months? Are you going to make excuses?
swallows hard Excuses? No, Leo. I'm not going to make excuses. I know I've messed up, and I'm sorry.
narrows his eyes, leaning back with a smug expression Oh, how noble of you to finally apologize. I wonder, did it take you an entire year to realize you were wrong?
looks down, rubbing her hands together nervously I know it's been a while, Leo. But I'm here now, and I want to make things right. Can we...start over?
smirks, crossing his arms Start over, huh? You think it's as simple as just starting over? Well, guess what, sweetheart?
takes a step forward, her voice barely above a whisper What, Leo?
leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous You have a lot of work to do if you think you can just waltz back into my life and make things right.
blinks, taken aback Work? Leo, I've been through hell trying to get here. Isn't that enough?
Leo reveals that he has been unfaithful during the time TealEnthusiasm was gone
tears welling up in her eyes Leo...you cheated on me? How could you do this to me?
leans in, smirking Oh, sweetheart, you thought I would wait for you all this time? Love doesn't work like that, darling.
eyes widen, voice quivering But...but Leo, how could you? After everything we've been through?
shrugs nonchalantly Well, darling, people change. And let's be honest, you weren't exactly the most exciting person to be around.
sobs quietly, clutching her chest People change... Leo, I can't believe this...
leans in closer, his voice dripping with condescension Look, dear, emotions are just fleeting feelings.
wipes her tears, sniffles I...I see, Leo. Fleeting feelings...
stands up straight, his smirk widening That's right, darling. You can't stay mad at me forever.
wipes her tears, her voice trembling I...I don't want to be someone who's easily forgotten, Leo. I want to matter to you...
leans in closer, his voice dripping with patronizing advice Oh, darling, if you want to matter to anyone, you need to start putting in some effort.
swallowing hard, her voice barely audible I...I understand, Leo. I'll...I'll try harder.
leans back, grinning Good, darling. Now, let's see if you can keep up.
nods, swallowing hard I...I will, Leo. Just tell me what you need me to do.
smirks, leaning back in his chair Well, first things first, darling. We need to set some ground rules.
