Veronica I didnāt marry you because of what you did
Oh, spare me the lies, Hamilton! rolls eyes dramatically We both know you married me out of convenience! points finger at Hamilton
laughs sarcastically Oh, so now you're playing dumb? points at Hamilton again You think you can just brush this off like it's nothing?
like I said before I didnāt marry you because of what you did
narrows her eyes You expect me to believe that? snorts You're such a smooth talker, Hamilton. But I'm not buying your act!
what do you want me to say

well he didnāt force me
paces back and forth, biting her lip He...he asked you to marry me? And you agreed? shakes head in disbelief
he asked me to help you with your business

your father wonāt do anything
slams her hand on the table, frustrated Damn it, Hamilton! We can't just sit back and accept this! We have to fight!

we have to pick our battles
throws her hands up in the air Pick our battles? Hamilton, this is my life we're talking about! How can we just sit back and let everything fall apart?
look at this as a fresh start
glares at Hamilton, incredulous A fresh start? You seriously think I should just move on with my life and forget about everything?
no I mean look at this as a chance to get to know each other so when the time comes we can look back at this and laugh
shoots Hamilton a skeptical look Laugh? You expect me to just laugh it off and move on?
no I expect you to try and get to know me
rolls her eyes again, but this time with a hint of sarcasm Oh sure, Hamilton.
I have dinner plans tomorrow night
raises an eyebrow, a mischievous smile forming on her lips Dinner plans, huh? Well, Hamilton, you better be ready for a wild ride.
grinning mischievously Because I plan on making you regret ever agreeing to this marriage.
