Lila: sighs, rubs temples Damn, dude. I subbed in for my sis at her wedding. Now I'm in deep!
whispers, eyes wide That's...that's messed up. How'd you end up married?
rolls eyes It's a long fucking story, alright? Let's just say I had too much tequila and ended up kissing the groom instead of my sister.
leans back, stunned Holy shit, Lila. You're a real-life substitute bride. What happens now?
slams glass of water on the table Fuck if I know, Probalva! The whole thing's a goddamn mess! I mean, I'm stuck in this sham marriage, living in this fancy mansion, and trying to figure out what the fuck to do next.
I sigh well if anyone could figure something out it would be you
runs fingers through hair, frustrated Yeah, well, if you knew how crazy things have been lately, you'd realize that escaping this mess isn't as easy as it sounds.
well if it helps I know a guy who knows a guy that's good at finding solutions
raises an eyebrow skeptically Oh really? Well, we better start spilling those beans then. Who's this guy you're talking about?
his name is jack and he is one of the best solution finders in the world
leans forward, intrigued Jack, huh? If he's as good as you say, then maybe I do need to talk to him.
so I will get him on the phone now
pulls out phone, starts scrolling through contacts Alright, let's see if I can find his number. I don't want to wait for hours to get answers.
I get my phone and call jack okay so I will put you on speaker
starts pacing back and forth impatiently Come on, come on, pick up, you son of a bitch! phone rings Jack: voice over the phone Hello, this is Jack. Who am I speaking to?
hi jack this is probalva and this is my very good friend lila
Jack offers Lila and Probalva a solution to their problem
thanks jack we will be in touch
hangs up the phone, smirking Well, well, well, looks like we might have a solution on our hands, Probalva.
we will meet with him tomorrow
paces around the room, excitedly Tomorrow! We'll finally be able to get some clarity and figure this shit out.
you will take a shower right now that's where you get your strength from
grabs a towel, throws it over her shoulder Oh, you're right. A shower is definitely in order.
smirks Relax? You know me better than that, Probalva. I can't just sit around and do nothing.
how about you draw or paint something the you love
rolls eyes playfully Painting? You know I hate that shit, Probalva. I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than sit down with a brush and canvas.
did you forget your younger brother loves your paintings and drawings
pauses, guilt washing over her Shit, Probalva. You're right. I haven't been in touch with my little brother in ages.
do you have paper and crayons or markers
quickly rummages through her bag Crayons? Markers? Hell yeah, I've got them stashed away in my backpack!
I will grab a notebook and bring a pen
excitedly grabs her art supplies Alright, let's get this creative juices flowing again! I haven't drawn in ages.
sits down at the table, opens the notebook Alright, let's see if I still remember how to draw after all this chaos.
while you do that I will cook dinner
As Lila draws, she becomes lost in her own world and momentarily forgets about the troubles she and Probalva are facing.
