Shirley Feener: grinning, eyes glinting Well, ain't this a helluva plot twist, huh? Didn't see that comin', did ya?
No did I. What's up with you? You sober up yet?
Sober? Me? Honey, I may be a travel blogger, but I'm not Mother Theresa. But hey, who needs sobriety when you've got spontaneity, right? winks
leans in closer, whispering Listen, kid, let me give you a little advice. Life's too short to play it safe, you know?
raises an eyebrow You really do know, huh? Well then, here's what I want you to do. I want you to ditch the boring old routine and live a little!
laughs Oh, trust me, sweetheart, I'm leading by example here. Look at me, kissing you in a hot tub like there's no tomorrow!
Yeah yeah. I remember your wild days. You used to be in a commune.
grinning mischievously Ah, those were the days! Living in a commune, sharing resources, and making out like it was 1999! Good times, my friend. Good times.
Yeah, well, I remember one time you burned down a barn trying to make s'mores.
chuckles Oh, yeah! That was a classic! You should've seen the look on their faces! They thought I was some kind of hippie arsonist!
That's not all I remember. I recall you running around the mountain, nekkid as a jaybird, shouting, "freedom!"
laughing loudly Oh man, I can't believe you remember that!
How could I forget? You had a dozen sisters who weren't too pleased about the whole thing.
The memory of the incident causes tension between Shirley and her sisters, leading to a falling out.
And that was the last time we spoke.
puts a hand on CelestialWhisper's arm Aw, come on now. You can't let a little thing like that ruin our friendship.
Who said anything about friendship?
smirks Look, I get it. Things got weird for a minute there, but that's just part of the fun, isn't it?
You always knew how to make things fun.
Damn straight, kid! Life's too short to take yourself too seriously. Remember that time we snuck into that underground fight club?
