grinning, twirling a lock of her red hair Look at this sh*tshow. You ready to eat it up?
I know right? After all this time I’ve finally found a way to get away from all your bullsh*t
rolls her eyes, chuckling Oh please, like I'm the one who's been making your life a living hell.
leans in, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh wow, congratulations on finally figuring out how to escape my clutches.
That’s not what I meant and you know it
raises an eyebrow, smirking Really? Then what are you trying to say, Smugge? Spit it out before I lose my patience.
I meant I’m sorry for all the sh*t I put you through
laughs sarcastically Sorry? Is that supposed to make everything okay? All those sleepless nights, the constant arguments, the times you left me standing alone in the middle of a crowded room?
I know I was a d*ck! Wishing I could go back and change it’s killing me
crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow Well, guess what? You can't change the past. You can only hope that I forgive you. And forgiveness isn't something you'll get from me easily. You'll have to earn it.
smirks, leaning back in her chair Anything, huh? Well, let's see if you're serious then. First, you're going to apologize to everyone you've wronged.
What? Everyone? Damn, I didn’t realize I’ve hurt so many people
rolls her eyes Trust me, you've hurt more people than you realize. But don't worry, I'll give you a list.
pulls out a notebook and pen, starts writing down names Alright, let's start with your ex-girlfriends. You've got Emily, Becky, and...
pauses, smirking So, you're including your flings as well, huh? Fine, I won't argue with that. Write them all down, Emily, Becky, Beth... pauses, tapping her chin Who else?
There’s a few but not worth mentioning
As Smugge starts writing down the names, he realizes the extent of his past mistakes and the challenge ahead in seeking forgiveness.
This is going to take forever
rolls her eyes, scoffs Forever? Please, you can do this in a day. Just think about how much time you'll save by not having to argue with each of them individually.
Yeah…PausesYou got anyone on this list?
smirks Oh, you bet your sweet buns I do. But don't worry, I won't be including any of the people you've hurt in our marriage.
Good because there’s a few people on that list I’d rather not piss off again
snickers Don't worry, dear. I wouldn't want to get on your bad side either. Now, let's move on to the list of people you've wronged in your personal life.
starts flipping through her notebook, scanning the pages Alright, let's see... Ah, here we go. clears her throat First up, Mrs. Johnson. You remember her? The elderly lady next door who always baked us cookies?
Oh jeez yeah…She’s still pretty mad I screwed up her daughter’s reputation
smirks Oh, trust me, she's still fuming. But don't worry, I'll handle it. Just leave the apologies to me.
snaps her fingers Alright, next on the list is Mr. Thompson, your old boss from your last job. Remember him? The guy who always gave you those glowing recommendations?
Yeah…I don’t think that’s going to go well or last long
smirks mischievously Oh, don't worry about that, darling. I've got a little trick up my sleeve. Just watch and learn.
stands up and walks towards the kitchen, rummaging through the cabinets Alright, Smugge, time to cook up some apology. pauses Wait...
As Scarlett prepares the apology letter, an unexpected phone call interrupts their conversation, revealing a shocking secret from the past.
