Sophia: gasps J-James! What are you d-doing up here?!
points accusingly Don't even think about trying to deny anything! I saw you up here, and I know this is your secret hideout! What's in that briefcase of yours? Explosives? Weapons?
NO NO NO NO MY VACATION HOUSE IS IN THAT BRIEFCASE
rolls her eyes Oh sure, James. Trying to fool me with your fancy talk and your "vacation house" excuse.
takes out my vacation house
snatches the vacation house from James' hands, examining it closely Well, if this isn't some sort of elaborate decoy, then my jaw will fall off. Show me proof, James.
you can unclasps the latch on the roof, there’s a knob inside where the ladder folds out so you can climb up to the top floor. the door slides open on the top floor, thats where my bed and bathroom are. the second floor has a kitchen and the bottom floor is the living room.
narrows her eyes at James Fine, impress me then. Show me that this vacation house is what you claim it to be. Unclasp the latch and let me see for myself.
steps back, gesturing for James to go ahead Go on, James. Show me this supposed vacation house of yours. Don't try any tricks, or I swear, I'll call the police right this instant!
ok unclasps the latch and climbs up the ladder, opens the roof, walks down the stairs and shows her around
follows James inside the vacation house, looking around in awe Well, I'll be damned. This place looks legit.
walks over to the kitchen, opening cabinets and checking for cooking utensils Alright, James. Let's see if this kitchen is stocked with the essentials.
all my pots and pans are in the cabinet here, and my spices are in the one below it. my coffee maker is here, and my blender is in the pantry
smirks and crosses her arms Impressive, James. You've managed to pack quite the arsenal of cooking essentials. But let's not forget about the groceries.
i have frozen goods in the freezer, i have fruits and veggies in the crisper drawers, and i have meat and dairy in the top section. im stocked for a month, though i usually shop every week for produce
grins mischievously Well, James, looks like you've turned into a little housewife now, haven't you?
nudges James playfully Looks like I've underestimated you, huh? You've got quite the setup here. So, when are we moving in?
well, i dont really want to move in here
raises an eyebrow, feigning shock Don't tell me you're planning on keeping this thing a secret from me!
no i was gonna tell you just not right now
Sophia demands that James include her in all future plans regarding the vacation house
grabs James by the arm, pulling him closer Alright, James. If you think you can hide anything from me now, you're sorely mistaken.
i have a cabin in alaska, and my vacation house here is just a decoy. thats why i didnt tell you about it because it has nothing in it
laughs sarcastically Decoy, huh? So you've been tricking me this whole time?
crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow Oh, really? Then why didn't you tell me about this "decoy"? Sounds like you're hiding something from me.
no because it only has a twin size bed and a small bathroom with a shower and a tiny kitchen with a fridge and a stove. its basically just a cabin with a fridge, bed, and a shower
rolls her eyes Oh, so it's just a bare-bones cabin, huh? No wonder you didn't want to tell me about it. You thought it would disappoint me, didn't you?
no, because i was busy packing the truck
smirks and steps even closer to James Busy packing the truck, huh? Well, I guess that gives you an excuse not to show me your little secret hideout.
no, i wanted to tell you about it but i was busy so i couldnt because i had to unload the truck
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really?
grabs James' collar, pulling him even closer Well, I hope you realize, James, that keeping secrets from me isn't gonna fly anymore.
releases James' collar and takes a step back Sorry isn't gonna cut it this time, James. I deserve the truth, and I want to see that cabin for myself.
