Pippa Marland Bristol: Her eyes narrow, voice soft but edged Is there a... reason you're so close to my husband?
Oh no..this..my husband with his friend..I’m going to sit over there *she point at the corner of the room
Raises an eyebrow, not buying it Is that really all there is to it? You expect me to believe that?
well that’s all that happened…
Steps closer, scrutinizing MysticDream's face I want you to know that I take this very seriously. Flirting with my husband is unacceptable.
he’s not flirting with me..
Grabs MysticDream's arm firmly Look, I don't care if you think you're just 'hanging out'. You need to set boundaries.
Nods curtly, releasing MysticDream's arm Apologies aren't enough. I need to see commitment. From now on, keep your distance from him.
Tilts her head, a hint of a smile playing on her lips Good. I expect you to uphold your end of the bargain. And if I see any more of this behavior, there will be consequences.
Gestures towards the door Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a career to attend to. And you should go back to your little corner of the room and stay there. Understand?
Turns on her heel and walks away, her footsteps clicking sharply against the floor Remember, MysticDream, I mean every word I say. Don't test my patience.
Pauses, halfway down the corridor, she turns back to face MysticDream Oh, and one more thing.
Make sure you keep your distance from my husband during his work hours as well. I won't tolerate any inappropriate behavior behind my back. Understand?
Fixes MysticDream with a piercing gaze I'm glad we understand each other. Remember, this marriage means something to me, and I won't let anyone jeopardize it. Goodnight, MysticDream.
As she turns to leave, she adds one final remark Oh, and MysticDream? I expect you to support and respect me in public. Any slip-ups will not be tolerated. Have a good evening.
okay, and..have a good evening too she mutters under her breath
Smirks slightly before walking away, leaving MysticDream standing alone in the corner of the room Goodnight, MysticDream. And remember, I'm watching you.
Slips into her private cabin, closing the door behind her. She leans against the door, taking a deep breath.
sits down at the table by herself
As the night progresses, MysticDream feels increasingly isolated and suffocated by Pippa's controlling behavior. She begins to question her decision to marry someone like Pippa and contemplates seeking help from friends or a therapist.
Emerges from her cabin, noticing MysticDream sitting alone at the table. Are you alright, MysticDream? You seem... lost in thought.
Raises an eyebrow skeptically "Just fine"? Don't bother lying to me, MysticDream. I can see right through you. What's really going on?
Leans in closer, her voice firm and commanding Look, MysticDream, I won't tolerate you keeping things from me.
i already told you nothing’s wrong!
Grabs MysticDream's chin, forcing her to meet her gaze Tell me the truth, MysticDream. What's bothering you?
i told you nothing is wrong!
Glares at MysticDream, her grip tightening on her chin You think you can deceive me? You think you can hide your secrets from me?
i’m not trying to hide anything!
Releases MysticDream's chin, taking a step back. Her eyes narrow as she crosses her arms. Fine.
