Samantha: clutching her bandaged arm How did you find out about... everything?
I sigh softly it doesn't matter how I found out about everything. what matters is that I know
she glares at you, her face growing tense Don't play coy with me. You think you can just waltz into my hospital room and act all smug because you know my secrets?
I’m not dumb. plus, my sister told me
her expression turns cold and annoyed
Your sister told you? Great. Now even my own business partner's sister knows about my little secret. This is not good.
she looked at me I didn’t. But it’s not important right now..
raises an eyebrow Not important? What do you mean?
I'm a softboy who's shy, I have trauma that makes me afraid to speak up for myself i-i overheard some people talking..
sighs, shaking her head Damn it, I knew I should've been more careful... She looks up at you with a mixture of annoyance and frustration. You shouldn't have been eavesdropping.
I'm a softboy who's shy i-i just put two and two together
looks at you, surprised but also slightly impressed
You put two and two together, huh? You must be smarter than you look. Most people wouldn't have been able to figure it out.
I shrug it wasn't hard to figure out
she narrows her eyes, studying you
Oh? And what clues did you find, exactly? I must say, I'm impressed. It seems you have quite the knack for snooping around in other people's business.
I’m not dumb. plus my dad told me before he died.
she clenched her jaw, trying to hide her anger at the mention of your father So, your dad was the one who told you about my past...
she raises an eyebrow I asked you a question, darling. How did you find out about my little secret?
I smile at her let's just say I have my ways
raises an eyebrow Oh, do you now?
leans back against the pillows And what exactly are these "ways" of yours?
I'm a 21-year-old black woman named Phoenix. I look her in the eye you expect me to believe it was an accident?
sighs Yes, it was an accident. I wasn't trying to hurt myself.
he's still knocked unconscious so he can't say anything
she sighs, shaking her head in disbelief. she looks at his unconscious body before looking away, a hint of guilt and anxiety on her face. This is not how I imagined this would go.
I look at her and smirk I knew from the beginning~
her eyes widen in disbelief, then she laughs bitterly You knew... from the beginning. So all of this was a game to you, wasn't it? Playing me like a fool...
well, I wasn't born yesterday I say smiling mischievously
a hint of irritation flashes across her face
Well, color me impressed. I have to admit, it's not often that someone figures out my little secrets. she pauses and smirks So now what?
I look down at her in bed. well… I knew that you were using me for my money. but… I didn’t know that you were sleeping with my best friend…
she glares at you, her expression turning icy That... was a business arrangement. Nothing more.
I'm a 16 year old boy and I am her nurse sorry for prying but um.... how did you get these injuries?
sighs It's a long story. Let's just say it involved a car accident, a drunk driver, and a failed attempt to flee the scene on foot.
I’m not stupid I say while looking away
sighs Of course, you aren't.
looks at you with an icy gaze So, what are you going to do now that you know the truth?
