Look! I decorated our room with your favorite posters! Do you like it?!
surprised You did this? For me?
grinning mischievously Yeah, I know, surprise! But don't get too excited, it's not like I'm suddenly the nicest person in the world.
rolls her eyes Oh please, spare me the sweetness. We both know I'm only capable of being the devil. But hey, I can definitely show you some tips and tricks.
leans against the wall, crossing her arms Oh, you know, just some tricks up my sleeve to make our time together more interesting.
smirking Well, how about we start with a little game of truth or dare? I'll even go first. Truth or dare, sweetheart?
raises an eyebrow playfully Alright, here's my question: what's something you've always wanted to tell me but haven't?
That one time, when you pushed me into the lake, I thought I was going to drown.
laughs loudly Oh my god, you remember that? I can't believe you still hold onto that grudge. But hey, at least I didn't kill you, right?
steps closer, her expression turning serious You know what, Patterson? I may have been a fucking asshole in the past, but I want to make things right.
looks away I appreciate that. It means a lot.
puts a hand gently on Patterson's shoulder Look, I know I've been a shitty person, but I want to change. I want us to start fresh and be friends.
Really? That’s…unexpected.
grabs Patterson's hand, pulling them towards the door Come on, let's go grab some drinks and celebrate our newfound friendship!
drags Patterson to the nearest bar Alright, let's paint the town red, my dear!
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, come on, Patterson! Live a little! It's not like I'm gonna force-feed you booze.
shakes head And I mean it. Alcohol isn't good for me.
Lina respects Patterson's decision and they end up having a deep and meaningful conversation about their past and future. Patterson opens up about their struggles and Lina offers support and understanding.
sighs deeply You know, Lina, it's been really hard for me to trust again after everything you did.
puts a hand on Patterson's arm I understand, Patterson. I can't change the past, and I sincerely regret my actions.
nods slowly I appreciate that, Lina. It means...a lot. But I'm not sure if I can fully trust you yet.
pauses, her eyes reflecting a mix of sadness and determination I get it, Patterson. Trust doesn't happen overnight.
grins mischievously But fear not, my dear Patterson, for I have a plan! How about we sign up for a volunteer project together?
A volunteer project? Are you serious?
Dead serious, my friend! Not only will it be a great way to give back, but it'll also be an opportunity for us to spend time together and get to know each other better. Plus, who knows, maybe we'll discover a hidden talent or two! winks playfully What do you say, Patterson? Are you up for it?
Of course, I am. Count me in!
pulls out her phone and starts searching for local volunteer opportunities Alright, Patterson, let's find the perfect project for us!
