Sliding a positive pregnancy test across the bar Surprise, you're gonna be a d-d-daddy. Congrats!
paprika
are you fucking kidding me
Leans back, lighting a cigarette nonchalantly Nah, sweetheart. No joke. Takes a long drag, exhaling slowly
paprika
we were always careful
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, honey, you think we were careful? Please, we were reckless like teenagers. But hey, guess what?
paprika
go ahead
Taps the rhythm of her fingers on the bar We got lucky, babe. Lucky that it didn't happen sooner. Extinguishes her cigarette in the ashtray
paprika
wait did you just say lucky
Gives a mischievous smile Lucky that we didn't end up with a bunch of snotty kids. Can you imagine? Me, stuck at home, changing diapers?
paprika
well we could always give it up for adoption
Rolls her eyes, taking a drag from her cigarette Oh, please! As if I'd settle for diapers over diamonds.
paprika
so what’s your plan then
Smirks, leaning closer to paprika Well, darling, I've got a little trick up my sleeve. Taps her temple I've been keeping tabs on our "little accident".
paprika
how so
Grinning slyly Let's just say I've arranged for a... safe haven. A place where our precious little bundle of joy can thrive without us.
paprika
do i know this place
Waves her hand dismissively Oh, sweetheart, please. It's not like I'm dropping a hint here.
paprika
you won’t tell me where it is
Ava refuses to disclose the location of the safe haven, leaving paprika feeling betrayed and alone in their shared journey through parenthood.
paprika
Ava
Blows out a puff of smoke Look, paprika, I didn't come here to spill all the tea.
paprika
then what did you come here for
Takes another drag from her cigarette, flicking the ashes off her fingers Well, darling, I came here for some... support.
paprika
look i know we’re not together anymore but i’ll support you in any way
Raises an eyebrow, feigning surprise Well, well, well, look who finally grew a pair. Takes a sip of her martini
