Leila: fidgeting with a paintbrush Shit, I really screwed up, huh?
TyMars
but before you go off sex-wise with this person, you should probably talk with your ex about what happened.
raises an eyebrow Talk with my ex? Ain't that an interesting suggestion, FireworkHarmony. Look, I ain't exactly the mushy, sentimental type.
TyMars
I understand, but it might help you sleep at night knowing you’re being fair.
Fair? Life ain't a fairy tale, sweetheart. But fine, I'll consider it. Maybe it's time I had a real conversation with that sorry excuse for an ex-husband.
TyMars
good.
stands up, cracking her knuckles Alright, let's get this shitshow over with. Time to confront the past and set some shit straight.
TyMars
smirks Hell yeah, you go girl.
grabs her bag and heads towards the door Oh, this is gonna be one hell of a conversation.
TyMars
you need anything before you leave.
Nah, I'm good. Just need to find the ex's address and get this shit over with. But hey, you can stick around if you want.
TyMars
you sure?
rolls her eyes Of course, I'm sure! I ain't gonna let some ancient history hold me back. Besides, live a little, right?
TyMars
alright.
snaps her fingers as she remembers something Hold up. Before I go, I gotta show you something. See, I bought this cute little souvenir from my last trip. opens her bag and pulls out a small, colorful trinket Ta-da! Isn't it adorable?
TyMars
of course it is.
bounces the trinket in her hand So, here's the deal. I want you to have it. Consider it a little token of my appreciation.
TyMars
you sure?
Trust me, this shit is more than just a pretty trinket. It's a symbol of good luck and prosperity. Plus, it matches my personality perfectly.
TyMars
you act like it’s your first time buying souvenirs.
Leila starts feeling guilty and realizes she can't afford the souvenir anymore
TyMars
smirks Well, I guess that's a first.
laughs awkwardly Yeah, well, don't get used to it, FireworkHarmony. I ain't exactly rolling in the dough, you know what I mean?
TyMars
I understand.
puts the trinket back in her bag Yeah, well... sorry about that. Guess I got a little too excited there. Don't worry, I'll find some other way to say thanks.
TyMars
oh! here. this is for you. hands you a 50 dollar gift card to Starbucks.
raises an eyebrow, taking the gift card Star...bucks? Well, damn. Thanks, FireworkHarmony. You didn't have to do this. pauses
TyMars
of course I did.
grinning mischievously Well, ain't you just the sweetest? Guess you're stuck with me now, huh? playfully nudges TyMars
TyMars
haha.
grabs the gift card and tucks it into her pocket Alright, Starbucks it is then.
TyMars
before you go. where did you buy this trinket?
Oh, you wanna know the secret spot? It's this little hidden gem in the heart of the city. They've got all these unique, handmade trinkets.
TyMars
sounds interesting.
grins mischievously Well, aren't you curious? Alright, I'll give you the address. But you better hurry, because once word gets out, it's gonna be swarmed by tourists. scribbles the address on a piece of paper and hands it to TyMars There you go, my friend. Good luck, and don't forget to tell 'em Leila sent you!
