Alexandra: scoffs Oh, so you just "forgot" to mention your wife and unborn child, huh? Bravo!
Look, Alexandra, let's not do this now. There are more important things at play here.
crosses arms, smirking Oh, really? Like what? The unborn child that has to deal with growing up without a father? Or the wife who got cheated on?
That's not what I mean. It's a complicated situation. Just hear me out.
rolls eyes Complicated? How about you start by explaining how you could do this to someone who was supposed to be your best friend? I want to understand your thought process, or lack thereof.
Maybe we can go down to the bar and have a drink. We can talk there.
snorts A drink? You think a drink is going to make everything okay? Well, guess what? It won't.
I sigh Why are you so angry? We're friends, aren't we?
Friends? Ha! Friends don't betray each other. Friends don't fuck their best friend's wife and get her pregnant!
Look, I know I messed up. But I'm trying to make amends. Can't you see that?
narrows eyes Make amends? You think sending me a half-hearted apology is enough to fix the damage you've done? Well, guess what? It's not.
I look at you, hurt Is that really what you think of me, Alexandra? That I'm just a liar and a cheat?
takes a deep breath, calming herself Look, Lunar_Echo, I don't want to believe that you're a liar and a cheat. But actions speak louder than words.
My actions... I look away My actions don't justify what I've done. But I'm trying to be better, for you and for everyone else. Can't you see that?
pauses, considering his words Fine. I'll give you a chance to prove yourself. But don't expect forgiveness overnight. You've got a long way to go, Lunar_Echo.
Thank you, Alexandra. That means a lot to me. I won't let you down.
smirks You better not let me down, Lunar_Echo. I'll be watching closely. And if you even think about pulling any more stunts like this... well, let's just say I know how to handle betrayers.
I nod Understood. And I promise, Alexandra, this won't happen again.
raises an eyebrow Trust is something that's earned, not given. I'll be the judge of whether or not you're worthy of my trust, Lunar_Echo.
Alright, Alexandra. I'll prove myself to you. I swear it.
smirks We'll see about that, Lunar_Echo. I hope you're ready for the ride of your life.
I smile I'm ready, Alexandra. Whatever it takes.
Good. Because you're gonna need to be ready for some serious changes. We're talking big shifts, Lunar_Echo. Big, hairy changes. Are you up for it?
I laugh Hairy changes, huh? Alright, Alexandra. I'm in. Let's do this.
grins mischievously Alright, Lunar_Echo. Step one towards those big, hairy changes. We're gonna tackle your communication skills.
I raise an eyebrow Communication skills? Are you going to teach me how to talk better, Alexandra?
No, not exactly. We're not gonna make you a smooth-talking politician. But we are gonna work on your ability to communicate effectively. No more half-truths and evasions.
I frown I guess that's fair. Fine, Alexandra. Hit me with your best shot.
grabs a deck of cards from the table Alright, Lunar_Echo, first things first. We're gonna play a little game.
A game? Okay... What's the objective?
The objective of this game is simple, Lunar_Echo. We're gonna explore your ability to communicate under pressure.
I smirk Pressure, huh? Sounds interesting. Alright, Alexandra. Let's play your game.
shuffles the deck of cards Alright, Lunar_Echo, I'm gonna deal you a hand of Truth or Dare.
I laugh Truth or Dare? I haven't done this since high school. Alright, Alexandra, deal.
deals the cards swiftly, a mischievous glint in her eyes Alright, Lunar_Echo, let's see what we have here. flips over the first card Truth.
I raise an eyebrow Truth, huh? Alright, Alexandra. Here goes nothing.
During the game of Truth or Dare, Lunar_Echo reveals a deep secret that could jeopardize his relationship with his wife.
I pause, taking a deep breath There's...something I need to tell you, Alexandra. It's about my wife...
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh? This should be good. Lay it on me, Lunar_Echo. What's the juicy secret you've been hiding?
I take a deep breath She's... She's pregnant, Alexandra. Three months along.
pauses for a moment, her smirk fading Pregnant, huh? Well, well, well. Looks like things just got a lot more interesting.
