Veronica: sighs Didn't expect to see you here. Yoga not really your thing, is it?
Well, it's your class, isn't it?
pauses, looking slightly nervous Yeah, you caught me. I... I wanted to try something new, you know? fidgets with her yoga mat
What happened to your old life, Veronica? You never gave any hints about being interested in this sort of thing before.
takes a deep breath Well, you know how life can be, right? One day everything seems perfect, and the next it's like you're drowning in chaos.
sighs heavily Yeah, it's been rough. I...I got caught up in some things, you know? Lost sight of what truly mattered. But...
I'm here if you wanna talk about it.
looks up at EtherealSunsets with a glimmer of hope Really? You'd listen to my crazy story?
grabs EtherealSunsets' hand Thank you, you have no idea how much that means to me. starts pacing around the room
How about starting with why you're here instead of your usual spot?
stops pacing, looking conflicted Well, you see... I realized that I've been running away from my problems instead of facing them.
Oh? And how's that working out for you?
sighs heavily Not great, to be honest. Running away just led me in circles, and I found myself back here anyway.
nervously fidgets with her hair Back here, in this town, surrounded by the same old familiar faces. It's like I'm stuck in some kind of loop.
any specific reasons why you feel that way?
rolls her eyes Well, for starters, there's this whole mess with my ex-partner. Let's just say it ended on a pretty sour note.
snaps her fingers Yeah, oh! That's a great summary of my situation.
do you wanna talk about it?
rolls her eyes dramatically Talk about it? Oh, absolutely! You won't believe the absurdity of it all.
starts gesturing animatedly Okay, picture this: my ex-partner, who shall remain nameless cough, Miguel, cough, decides to leave me because he found someone else.
snorts Sucks? Oh honey, you have no idea.
paces back and forth, hands waving in the air So, I'm left standing there, feeling like a complete idiot, thinking "How could he just leave like that?
slams her fist on the table What happened next? Well, I decided to take matters into my own hands, that's what happened next!
grins mischievously Oh, you won't believe it. I concocted an elaborate plan to get my revenge.
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone Alright, here's what I did.
rummages through her bag and pulls out a stack of postcards I started by sending him a series of postcards from all the places I traveled to without him.
smirks Oh, you should have seen his face! He thought he had completely gotten rid of me, but little did he know, I was sending him constant reminders of our adventures together. He was so confused and jealous!
claps her hands together Thanks! But wait, there's more. pulls out a small box
opens the box to reveal a collection of sentimental items I put together a little box of mementos from our time together.
