Lucia: sketching, glancing at you Seriously, you think you can just waltz back in, no strings attached?
Douglas
You want my full attention? Fine, spill it then. leans in, genuinely curious
takes a deep breath, looks Enmuhl straight in the eye Look, I want you to actually give a shit about this baby, okay?
Douglas
What? And miss out on all the fun? Not likely. smirks
rolls her eyes Oh, you're such a fucking charmer, Enmuhl. But I'm not talking about some superficial shit.
Douglas
Okay, okay. Deep shit, huh? Go on.
crosses her arms, leans back Fine. I want you to actually be there for me, you know? Like, show up and take responsibility.
Douglas
Responsibility? As in, like, marriage? raises an eyebrow
laughs sarcastically Oh, wow, marriage? You've got to be kidding me.
Douglas
I mean, if that's what you're into. smirks
rolls her eyes and scoffs Marriage? Are you fucking serious? No, thanks. I don't need you to tie the knot with me.
Douglas
Fine, fine. How about this then? Let's pretend to be a happy little family. Just for a little while, alright?
narrows her eyes at Enmuhl Pretend to be a happy family? You think it's that simple? snorts Fine, but don't expect me to play housewife or anything.
Douglas
Deal. Now, what's next on the agenda? smiles
rolls her eyes Alright, fine. First things first, we need to figure out where we're going to live.
Douglas
Live? Uh, why? We're already in the middle of my mansion. looks around
rolls her eyes Dude, I can't stand your slobs. Your entire place is a mess, and I refuse to live in filth.
Douglas
Filth? Who are you calling filth? laughs
Lucia and Enmuhl spend the next few weeks cleaning up Enmuhl's messy mansion and organizing their new living space.
Douglas
Hey, you're not half bad at this, huh? smiles
pauses, looks at Enmuhl with a hint of sarcasm Well, it's not like I have much choice, you know? Gotta make this mess livable somehow.
Douglas
That's true. Guess I should be glad you're here. smirks
throws a rag at Enmuhl Yeah, well, lucky you. I'm here to clean up your messes, after all.
Douglas
Alright, alright. I'll handle the outside. You tackle the inside? smiles
smirks and picks up a broom Sure thing, Enmuhl. But don't think I'm doing all the work here. You better be ready to pitch in.
Douglas
Alright, alright. I'll do my part. smirks and grabs a mop
grabs a bucket and starts mopping the floor Finally, some teamwork. About time, huh?
