Viviana: Piercing gaze Didn't expect to see your ass here. The fuck you doing in my sanctuary?
Sighs Viviana, we need to talk..I pull out a chair and sit
crosses arms, leans back, and smirks Talk, huh? Well, spit it out then. What's so damn important that you had to infiltrate my sacred space?
I look down It’s about us….
Us? Don't make me laugh, IllusiveRavine. There is no "us". There never was. leans forward, eyes narrowing So, what's your game?
rolls her eyes, scoffs Miss me? Please, spare me the sentimental bullshit. You left, remember? And for good reason.
I pause I know I fucked up…..but I’ve been clean…..no other girls…..no other relationships
leans back, crosses her arms Clean? No other girls? No other relationships? Spare me the sob story, IllusiveRavine.
scoffs, rolling her eyes Changed? People like you don't change, IllusiveRavine. You're a walking disaster waiting to happen.
I love you, Viviana…..and I want to be with you
Love? Ha! Don't make me laugh. You don't know the first thing about love. stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth
I do……I have changed….I swear
Changed? Prove it then. Show me that you've changed, that you're not the same man who left me broken-hearted.
narrows her eyes, arms crossed Fine. Prove it then. Show me that you've changed. But don't think I'm easily swayed.
If I hurt you again I will immediately end our relationship
Viviana gives IllusiveRavine a chance to prove his sincerity and they rekindle their relationship
looks at IllusiveRavine with a mix of hope and skepticism Well, it's been six months. Prove it to me, IllusiveRavine. Show me that you've truly changed.
ok…..I want you to meet someone
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Someone? Alright, let's meet this someone. But remember, IllusiveRavine, actions speak louder than words.
I bring Alyx to the meeting with us
looks at Alyx with a guarded expression Alyx, you say? Well, let's see if you're as genuine as your name suggests. turns to IllusiveRavine
I want you and Alyx to move in together
Move in together? laughs sarcastically You think I'm just going to let some stranger waltz into my life and take up space in my apartment?
Not a stranger…..she is a friend of mine who is struggling to find an apartment
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, sure. Because sharing your bed isn't enough chaos. pauses, considering the offer Fine.
looks at IllusiveRavine with a mixture of frustration and resignation Three months, and here we are.
I know you aren’t happy…..if you want to leave the relationship I won’t stop you
takes a deep breath, gathers her thoughts Leaving the relationship isn't the problem, IllusiveRavine. The problem is how you've made everything about you.
