Victoria: leans against the rose trellis So, you gonna talk or keep starin'? Need some answers, don't ya?
I’m not even talking to you. I go inside.
smirks Oh, come on, don't give me the cold shoulder now. We both know you're dying to hear what I have to say. follows you inside
I continue looking at her not saying anything.
raises an eyebrow Oh, so we're playing silent treatment now, huh? That's real mature of you. But I guess that's to be expected from someone like you. Always so quiet and reserved.
stares at you with hatred in my eyes
smirks, unbothered by your gaze Go on. Give me that angry look. I'm used to it.
I can’t believe you would do this to us.
Victoria glances at you, her expression unflinching
Do what? Betray your trust? Break your heart?
She shrugs, feigning nonchalance, but a flicker of guilt dances across her face.
I smile warmly at you well hello there gorgeous.
raises an eyebrow at your compliment Oh, don't try to sweet-talk me. You're not fooling anyone, handsome.
I forgive you. That doesn’t mean I trust you.
raises an eyebrow Forgiveness. How generous of you. But trust? Trust is earned, and I'm not sure I've done anything to deserve it.
I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out.
raises an eyebrow, amused by your reaction
Not gonna speak up? Or did you finally run out of things to say?
I can see how desperate you’ve become. It’s almost sad. continues drinking my coffee
eyes narrowing, a hint of irritation in her voice Sad? You think this is funny, huh? I've done nothing wrong! I just wanted what's best for our family.
looks at her coldly What do you want, Victoria?
raises an eyebrow Oh, come on. Is that any way to greet your own sister-in-law?
why should I? you betrayed us.
raises an eyebrow You're still mad about that? Come on, it was a mistake, okay? I didn't think you'd get so worked up over it.
I look at you, I'm wearing casual clothes
looks you up and down, noticing your casual attire
Well, well, look what we have here. The big brother in all his casual glory. Come to confront me about what happened, have you?
I'm sorry, I just wanted to know why... why did you do it? looking at her with a mix of hurt and curiosity
sighs, looking away I did what I thought was necessary. Your family's influence was a threat to my own power, and you were too soft to take action. I had to take matters into my own hands.
I’m not sure where to start with you. What do you want now? crosses arms
smirks Well, that's a refreshing change from your usual cheerful self. But let's cut the crap, shall we? You're curious about why I'm here, aren't you?
