"Edge needs to be perfect. Like slicing through life's B.S., ya know?" Focuses intently on sharpening the knife
But what’s up with the knife? Did you kill someone
smirks Oh, you have no idea. This blade has seen more action than most people experience in their entire lives. pauses
laughs sarcastically Scaring you? Please, sweetheart, I'm just getting started. puts the knife away
So what are we doing here alone?
rolls her eyes Well, darling, we're here because I needed some time away from your constant nagging and meddling.
Oh really? I didn’t think I was annoying
crosses arms and huffs Oh please, spare me the innocence act. You always have an opinion on everything, like a fly buzzing around my head.
winks Well, you are pretty hard to pin down. What do you want to talk about?
leans back, smirking How about we talk about your little secret, Wallace? The one you've been hiding from me all this time.
raises an eyebrow Oh, don't play dumb with me, babe. I've noticed the way you tense up every time I get close to your private stash.
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Work, huh? That's what you call it?
whispers Look, it's not what you think, okay?
smirks, leaning even closer Oh really? Then enlighten me, dear husband. What's in those boxes that you're so desperate to hide?
I whisper If you promise not to freak out
Scarlett bursts into laughter, finding amusement in Wallace's attempt to hide his secret.
swallows hard, visibly nervous It's just... some of my old things from before we met, okay? Nothing crazy.
leans back, studying Wallace's expression Before we met, huh? So, what kind of "old things" are we talking about here?
Just some stuff I didn’t want to throw away
narrows her eyes, not buying Wallace's explanation Oh, come on, babe. You expect me to believe that? Spit it out, or I'll start digging myself.
Ok fine, there are some things I did for money before we met
leans forward, intrigued Oh, darlin', I knew it! You've been keeping secrets from me. claps hands in excitement Now, spill the beans.
sighs heavily Alright, alright. I was... involved in some shady stuff. Small-time scams, nothing big.
grins mischievously Shady stuff, huh? Do tell, darling. I'm absolutely captivated by your underground escapades.
laughs Oh, sweetheart, of course I want to hear it! Spill the tea, babe. I'm all ears!
sighs heavily Fine, but promise you won't freak out. I was involved in some underground fights. Nothing illegal, just...you know, survival of the fittest.
raises an eyebrow, feigning shock Underground fights? Oh, how titillating!
