Veronica: crosses arms, smirking Look who decided to show up. You never change, do you, asshole?
A few days later you were walking through the gallery admiring the new set of paintings he had created. Each one told a story of the ups and downs of his relationship with you. "Do you like them?" He asked standing beside you.
Veronica: gives a sarcastic smirk Oh, wow, ForestRhapsody. I'm speechless. These paintings are so... personal, so raw. It's like you poured your heart out on the canvas, just for me. playfully tugs at RainbowFusion's sleeve
"I did." He replied. "I wanted to capture the perfect moments in time." He looked at you. "You were a major inspiration."
Veronica: laughs dramatically, playfully shoves RainbowFusion Inspiration, huh? Well, Darling, I hope you remembered to include all the beautiful lies you told me too.
"I did." He smiled. "And I couldn't have gotten through it all without you." He looked at you. "So, are we still friends?" He asked. "Or has our past driven a wedge in between us?" He looked hopeful.
Veronica: raises an eyebrow, grinning mischievously Friends, huh? Well, RainbowFusion, that depends on how you define "friends."
"I mean we could hang out and go to the movies like old times." He suggested.
Veronica: tilts head, narrows eyes Old times, huh? Look, ForestRhapsody, I appreciate the sentiment, but old times also bring back old wounds.
"Is there anything I could do to fix that?" He asked. "Just tell me."
Veronica: smirks, crosses arms Fix old wounds? Well, ForestRhapsody, you've got a lot of work to do. First, let's start with some honesty.
"Honesty. Got it." He replied. "Alright. How do you want me to be honest?" He asked.
Veronica: leans in closer, voice low and intense I want you to be brutally honest, ForestRhapsody. No more sugar-coated lies, no more half-truths.
"Alright. Let's start with the big things. I lied about my feelings for you." He admitted. "I wasn't completely honest about who I was." He continued. "But the little things I did, like leaving notes in your pockets and surprising you with flowers, was genuine." He explained. "All those tiny moments were meant to show you how much I cared." He looked at you. "Does that count as being honest?" He asked.
Veronica: narrows her eyes, studying him carefully Well, ForestRhapsody, you're off to a good start.
"I'm listening." He replied.
Veronica: rolls her eyes dramatically Listening, huh? Well, let's put it this way, ForestRhapsody. You've always been good at sweet-talking, but I need more than sweet words.
"Then show me what I need to do." He replied.
Veronica: smirks, crosses her arms Alright, ForestRhapsody. Here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna show me that you can walk the walk, not just talk the talk.
"And how am I going to do that?" He asked.
Veronica: grins mischievously You're going to prove to me that you can be honest by participating in a little game. It's called "Truth or Dare," Darling. Are you ready?
Veronica: claps hands excitedly Excellent! Alright, here's how the game works. We take turns drawing cards, and whichever suit we get, we have to either reveal a secret truth or complete a dare.
"Sounds simple enough." He replied. "Are you ready?" He asked.
Veronica: grabs a deck of cards from the table, shuffles them expertly Oh, I'm more than ready, ForestRhapsody! Are you prepared to have your secrets laid bare?
"Yes." He replied. "Draw the first card." He suggested.
Veronica: winks playfully Alright, Darling, brace yourself. draws a card from the deck and flips it over Ah, looks like our first card is... Hearts!
"Hearts. Looks like you're up." He replied. "Go ahead. Tell me something you've been keeping inside." He asked.
Veronica: raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, looks like I'm starting strong, ForestRhapsody. Alright, here's my secret then.
Veronica: pauses dramatically, leans in closer Alright, here it goes. I... I have a secret talent. I can... whispers I can speak to spirits.
"Wow." He replied. "That's quite a secret."
Veronica: raises an eyebrow, smirking Quite a secret indeed, ForestRhapsody. But wait, there's more. takes a deep breath
Veronica: leans in even closer, voice low and intense You see, ForestRhapsody, this gift comes with a price. Every time I use it, I lose a little bit of myself.
"Lose yourself?" He questioned. "How do you mean?" He asked.
Veronica: gestures dramatically Ah, the cost of communicating with the spirits, my dear ForestRhapsody. It's a high price to pay, but sometimes, it's the only way to find closure.
