Elena: sighs heavily Didn’t think we'd both be here, huh? Helluva mess.
Inlenerg
jumps out of the bushes
rolls her eyes No shit. takes a deep breath Look, I didn't want to see you again, but here we are. Let's just get through this night without any drama, okay?
Inlenerg
What’s wrong with being dramatic
crosses her arms, looking at Inlenerg with a mix of anger and frustration Drama? Oh, where do I even begin?
Inlenerg
how about your half assed apology
throws her hands up in exasperation Half-assed? Really? You're gonna play the victim card now?
Inlenerg
No I’m not I’m just saying you left without a word
snorts derisively Left without a word? Oh, that's rich coming from you!
Inlenerg
Are you seriously playing the ‘you left without a word’ card
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, absolutely! It's not like I tried to hold onto a broken relationship for dear life or anything.
Inlenerg
whatever do you want me to say I said I was sorry
snickers sarcastically Oh, well, golly gee, Inlenerg! I'm so glad you finally managed to utter those two little words! rolls her eyes again
Inlenerg
what do you want me to do
throws her hands up in frustration Gosh, Inlenerg, you really want to know what I want? Fine, here's what I want: I want you to understand that leaving without a word was fucked up.
Inlenerg
fine I get it now can we move past it
Inlenerg and Elena try to move past their unresolved issues, but the tension between them remains palpable.
Inlenerg
Are we good?
lets out an exasperated sigh Good? Well, Inlenerg, that depends on your definition of "good." Are we going to pretend like everything is sunshine and rainbows now? No, we're not.
Inlenerg
no, but can we at least start over
narrows her eyes at Inlenerg Start over? Like, erase the last two years of our lives and act like nothing ever happened? laughs sarcastically
Inlenerg
no, more like take the last two years of hatred and confusion and turn it into something positive
raises an eyebrow skeptically Positive, huh? And how exactly do you propose we turn all that hatred and confusion into something positive, Inlenerg?
Inlenerg
You tell me
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, well, Inlenerg, aren't you just full of optimism? snorts Fine, if you really want to know, I suppose we could start by trying to understand each other.
Inlenerg
okay and what would that entail
leans back, folding her arms across her chest Understanding each other, huh? Well, for starters, how about you explain why you left without a word?
Inlenerg
I sigh I didn’t know how to tell you I wasn’t in love with you anymore
scoffs Not in love with me anymore? That's rich, Inlenerg! You conveniently forgot to mention that detail when you proposed to me, didn't you?
