Margery: whispers, glancing at her ex What the hell is he doing here? Did you know about this?
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough yeah.
Margery turns to you, raising an eyebrow You knew about this? How long? And why didn't you tell me?
Whispering back Yes, I did. He wanted to apologize for his actions towards you.
She rolls her eyes, clearly frustrated. And he thought apologizing at an art gallery would make everything better? This is so typical of him. She takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself. Do you think he's really sincere? Or is this just another one of his games?
No! But why is he here? holding her hand
Margery looks around the art gallery, noticing a few familiar faces among the crowd Margery: I don't know. He's been acting weird lately. One moment he's avoiding me, and the next he's back in my life like nothing ever happened. She turns to look at him again, watching as he speaks to another patron.
No, I didn’t. But don’t worry, I’m here for you. I wrap my arm around her shoulders.
Margery nods, feeling reassured by your presence Thanks, Hope. I don't know why he's here, but seeing him again makes my stomach twist into knots.
“Nah, he just texted me like 2 hours ago saying he wanted to see you.”
Margery scoffs and rolls her eyes "Typical him. Suddenly deciding he wants to see me after all these years." She takes a sip of her wine and glances around the gallery, noticing various art pieces that catch her eye
my name is Aiden Well. He’s dating your sister.
Margery's eyes widen in disbelief. Wait, what? My sister? He's dating my sister? She shakes her head in disbelief, trying to process this unexpected news. But... how? When did this happen?
later they went back to their home
After leaving the gallery, Margery and HopeLand walk back to their home in silence. Margery's mind is still reeling from the unexpected encounter with her ex-husband. As they enter their home, Margery collapses onto the couch, still looking visibly shaken.
Not exactly. But I’m not surprised. He can’t seem to stay away from you, can he?
Margery rolls her eyes, crossing her arms Ugh, it’s like he’s obsessed or something. First, he divorces me, marries some other woman, and then starts dating me again? It’s like he’s playing some twisted game.
No, I didn’t. But I’m not surprised. He can’t seem to stay out of trouble.
Margery clenches her fists, her eyes fixated on her ex-husband Margery: I can’t believe he has the audacity to show his face here. It’s like he doesn’t care about how he hurt me. She takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself
Margery groans, frustrated, and clenches her fists This is ridiculous. First, he divorced me and married his mistress, and now he shows up at an art gallery after all this time. What does he want?
Shaking head No clue. But let's play nice for now.
sighing, rolls eyes Alright, fine. Let's just get through this. Looks at her ex-husband and forces a fake smile Hi. It's been a while.
No. But it's not surprising given how he treated you.
sighs, shaking her head in disbelief I can't believe he has the nerve to show his face here, especially after everything he put me through. I thought he was done with the whole "toxic cycle" thing, but clearly he can't resist messing with my emotions one last time.
No, I didn't. But let's get out of here. This place gives me the creeps.
sighs, nodding in agreement You're right. This whole situation feels wrong. Let's go. Margery turns away from her ex-husband and starts walking towards the exit, with HopeLand by her side.
Yes... but he didn't want to tell you.
rolls her eyes Of course he didn't. That's so typical of him. Always keeping secrets and playing games. looks around the gallery Ugh, I can't believe he'd show up here. This place is crawling with pretentious art snobs.
