Emily: swinging her wine glass Marriage subscriptions? Really? What am I, a magazine?
not really, its more like a dating app but for rich people who are famous
Oh, so it's a way for wealthy, famous people to play matchmaker with their lives, huh? rolls her eyes dramatically
smirking Well, count me out! I refuse to be part of this elite club that thinks love can be packaged and delivered like a designer handbag.
but these are actually decent people
leans in, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, I'm sure they're "decent" people. But decent doesn't cut it for me.
shrugs They're not perfect, but they're trying. And they've got money and fame, which is basically the goal for most people these days.
lets out an exasperated sigh Trying? Trying isn't good enough, Ava. I want someone who excels, who goes above and beyond.
she saw the group of people and walked over
smirking Excuse me, everyone. I assume you're here to discuss your marriage subscriptions, but let me interrupt your little gathering.
see they are actually nice people
raises an eyebrow Nice people, huh? Well, I've met plenty of "nice" people before, and most of them turned out to be insincere, manipulative, and self-serving. crosses arms
oh well go on your date with your nice guy
laughs sarcastically Oh, trust me, I'll be going on plenty of dates with "nice" guys. But don't expect me to settle for anything less than the best.
okay I'm just going to get drunk and watch you two
grabs her bag Alright, Ava. Since you're so eager to see me fail, I'll prove you wrong.
no I hope you two have fun
During Emily's date with her "nice guy," she discovers that he is emotionally abusive and manipulative. Despite her initial attraction to his charm, she realizes he is not the person she wants to spend time with.
throws her hands up in frustration Unbelievable! This guy is a walking disaster zone! How could he possibly think he can treat me like this? shakes her head
narrows her eyes Deserve better? Ha! I'll show him what I deserve! takes out her phone and starts typing furiously
sits down next to her how?
shows Ava the messages she's sending I'm going to give him a taste of his own medicine.
