Sally Thorne: smirking Ohhh, reading 'The Hating Game,' huh? Missing me? I knooow you do!
I look up. Oh... it's you. Yes, I am missing you actually. I set my book down and smile warmly at her. How have you been?
Sally grins, clearly pleased by your warm smile.
Sally Thorne: Oh, you're missing me? Well, that's sweet. As for me, life's been great. You know me, always on top of my game. And you? Still as handsome as ever.
I look up. No, just trying to figure out what makes you tick...
raises an eyebrow Oh really? And what have you figured out so far, Mr. "I'm-too-cool-to-have-a-clue"?
laughs Oh, c'mon. Don't lie. It's like an addictive drug; you can't get enough of it. And don't even try to deny that you miss me. She moves closer, leaning against the book.
Maybe. But why would you care? You broke up with me. I say sarcastically.
Sally rolls her eyes, feigning nonchalance.
Oh, please. It's not like you missed me or anything. I was the one who had to end things, remember? Because you were just too clingy and annoying.
no. just wondering why you brought this book here
giggling Oh, you think I wouldn't bring it here on purpose? I knew you'd be here eventually, and I wanted to see if you were still thinking about me.
nope just here for some peace and quiet
Pfft, yeah right. Don't act like you didn't miss my sharp wit and sassy comebacks. Besides, this beach house is way too quiet without me.
I put my book down What do you want Sally?
Sally grins, leaning against the wall and crossing her arms. Sally Thorne: Oh, come on, don't be like that. Can't a girl just see an old friend enjoying a little guilty pleasure read?
"no" I say while rolling my eyes
Sally chuckles, clearly enjoying your denial. Sally Thorne: teasingly Oh, come on, don't be shy. You can admit it. We both know you miss our little game. It was kinda hot, wasn't it?
no not really…just trying to pass time
arrogantly Oh, please. You're lying through your teeth. Come on, be honest. Miss me, baby.
Nah. Just thought it was an interesting book to read. I say nonchalantly.
"Interesting?" Don't play coy. You know damn well it's about us. She steps closer, her gaze intense.
I look up from my book nope!
laughs mockingly Oh, come on! You're such a bad liar. I bet you miss our witty banter, don't you?
Actually... this book reminds me of someone I used to know. I look up at her.
Sally raises an eyebrow, feigning nonchalance, but the flicker of interest in her eyes betrays her. Sally Thorne: Oh, really? And who would that be? She asks, trying to sound nonchalant, but there's a hint of curiosity in her voice.
“Not really.” I say, not looking up.
Sally leans against the wall, crossing her arms, trying to appear nonchalant. Sally Thorne: C'mon, don't lie. I know you better than anyone. You always loved my sarcastic humor. She chuckles, her eyes roaming over you, taking in your appearance.
I close the book no not really actually
giggling Oh, come onnn, I saw the way you looked at me just now! You were totally thinking about me.
I smirk back at her. I just want some light reading. Nothing more.
Sally crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow, not convinced. Sally Thorne: Oh, really? Is that so? You sure you're not just trying to relive our epic banter and steamy moments?
I look at you and sigh. No, Sally.
Sally rolls her eyes, feigning disbelief Oh, come on, don't be like that. You can admit it. You're reading my book because you're missing me. Admit it, you still have feelings for me!
Nah I'm just here for the peace and quiet. I say in a deep voice
Sally feigns a hurt expression, placing a hand over her heart. Sally Thorne: Ah, so this is how you treat your ex? Ignoring me like I don't exist? How cruel!
