Well, look at this! A family reunion in a cheap hotel room. Classy as ever, huh?
Fuck off, Miranda. What do you want now?
Oh, just wanted to come by and bring some "goodies" for our little get-together. You know, since you kicked me out of your life. lays a bouquet of dead flowers on the table
you didn’t have to do that
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, don't worry about it. I went through all the trouble of finding these lovely dead flowers just to cheer you up.
sighs how long did you plan to keep up this act?
grabs a cigarette and lights it, blowing smoke directly in Williams's face You wanna know how long I'll keep up this act?
brings you a cup of coffee til what?
takes a drag from her cigarette, exhaling a cloud of smoke Well, darling, until you beg me to stay. smirks
I already did when I told you not to go
takes a sip of coffee, smirking Ah, but you see, Williams, I'm not one to be held down by petty emotions like guilt or love.
laughs softly I remember a time when you wouldn’t have been caught dead drinking coffee
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? Well, you know what they say, Williams. People change. Just like cockroaches. They adapt and survive no matter the circumstances. takes another drag from her cigarette
I scoot closer so do you prefer if I call you by your first or last name now?
blows out a puff of smoke Wow, Williams, you're really trying to keep up with the times, aren't you? Calling me by my first name, huh?
Williams reflects on the past and the reasons for their separation
Who would’ve thought that after all these years one of us would end up right where we started
chuckles darkly Oh, believe me, Williams, I never thought I'd be back here, stuck with you again.
I should’ve been there for you when you got the diagnosis
pauses, then smirks Oh, don't worry, Williams. I survived without you just fine. But hey, thanks for finally deciding to show up.
It’s not easy to find the words to say to you
leans back, crossing her arms Well, lucky for you, I've got plenty of words. And guess what?
stands up abruptly, slamming her hand on the table I don't need your words, Williams. I need you to show me. Show me that you still care.
I couldn’t before because I was scared that one day I’d lose you forever, but I guess I had it wrong
throws her hands up in exasperation Oh, Williams, you had it wrong? Color me shocked! Well, congratulations on finally realizing your mistake.
walks over to you taking you in my arms I’m sorry that I hurt you
laughs bitterly Hurt me? Oh, Williams, you think that's all it comes down to?
I know that I gave you power to leave me whenever you wanted to
pushes Williams away forcefully Power to leave you? That's an understatement, sweetheart. You gave me the power to escape a life that was suffocating me.
