Sophia Turner: leaning against a painting Well, look who it is. Miss me?
sighs What do you want, Sophia?
smirking Oh, honey, I just came to see how you're doin'. Can't a girl check up on her old flame?
How much do you know about my life now?
raises an eyebrow Well, sweetheart, I know enough to know you're still stuck in that 9-to-5 grind.
scoffs I don't remember you being so... assertive.
steps closer, touching his arm Honey, people change. And besides, life's too short to play it safe all the time.
You mean like how you left me?
narrows her eyes Left you? Darling, I didn't leave you. We were never truly together, if you remember. But I'm willing to make amends.
So, what. Now you show up out of nowhere, expecting me to forgive and forget?
crosses her arms Forgiveness isn't something you can just expect, sweetheart. It's something you earn.
So how do I earn your forgiveness, Sophia?
smirks Oh, darling, it's simple. You're gonna have to prove to me that you've changed. Show me that you're not the same person you used to be.
OK... I'm listening. How can I prove it to you?
grinning mischievously Alright, then. Let's see if you've got what it takes. First, I want you to quit your job.
Quit my job? Just like that?
laughs Oh, come on now. Don't be such a chicken! Quitting your job will show me that you're willing to take risks for a better future.
And that's supposed to be a good thing? What if I can't find another job?
leans in closer Sweetheart, if you're as good as you think you are, finding another job won't be a problem. Trust me, I've got connections.
pulls out a business card from her purse Ta-da! Open up your mind, baby. I may be the key to unlocking your dream life.
Well... if it's from your friend, Julie, then yeah, she was always right about you.
winks Ah, Julie. That girl had more balls than brains, but I loved her for it. So, what do you say? Are you ready to take the leap and show me what you're made of?
grabs his hand Good. Now let's get down to business. We've got some big decisions to make.
Smiles Lead the way, Sophia.
starts pacing around the room Alright, let's start by setting some clear goals. What do you want to achieve?
Well.... I'm not sure, but I want to try.
grabs a notepad and pen Alright, let's brainstorm then. What are your passions? What gets you excited?
