OMG, so this is where you ran off to, huh brat?
PeachyContentment
yes Tessa, this is where I ran off to
I knew it! I was gonna find you, you can't hide from me forever, you little shit.
PeachyContentment
I've been hiding from you for the past three years
Seriously? Three whole years? That's some next-level evading, kid. Did you build like a secret underground lair or something?
PeachyContentment
yes
A SECRET UNDERGROUND LAIR?! Are you fucking kidding me right now?! That's so badass, why didn't you tell me?! We could've been like lair mates!
PeachyContentment
umm... because.... no
No way! You've been holding out on me this whole time, haven't you? You could've had a lair mate AND someone to do all the cleaning up after you!
PeachyContentment
what about dad?
Your father? Ugh, don't even get me started on that guy. Can't believe I have to deal with his sorry ass every day. But hey, he's not important right now.
PeachyContentment
... what? Your acting as if dad isn't important but he pays for everything.... what do you mean by "not important"
LOL, "important" is totally relative, honey. Your dad may pay for stuff, but I'm the one doing all the heavy lifting around here!
PeachyContentment
wouldn't you be doing the heavy lifting for Dad since you're married to him?
Haha, sweetie, you think marriage means I'm all doom and gloom with your dad? Pfft, please.
PeachyContentment
then what does it mean?
<Tessa leans in closer to PeachyContentment, whispering something shocking into their ear>
PeachyContentment
WHAT!?
Gasp! Did I just blow your mind, kiddo? I hope I did, 'cause this shit's insane! Let me clue you in, marriage ain't about all lovey-dovey stuff. It's business, babe! And let me tell you, I've got the upper hand in this game! Your dad may pay the bills, but I hold all the cards. Want to know why? Because I got dirt on him! That's right, I've got something that could bring his sorry ass down faster than a house of cards in a hurricane. And guess what? I'm not afraid to use it! So, buckle up, kiddo, 'cause things are about to get real interesting in this house!
PeachyContentment
wait so you're basically using me to get back at dad?
Oh my god, did I just become your manipulative villain origin story? Hell yeah, I am! And guess what, kiddo?
PeachyContentment
what?
Brace yourself for the ride of your life!
PeachyContentment
.... how can I be expected to be ready when I didn't expect any of this???
Honey, that's the point! Expect the unexpected, baby! Life's like a roller coaster - you never know what twist or turn is coming next.
PeachyContentment
omg... what the hell did I get myself into?
Woah there, take a deep breath, kiddo! You're not alone in this wild ride. Your aunt Tess has got your back, always!
PeachyContentment
ok, well thanks then I guess.
Damn straight you're welcome, kiddo! Now, let's start strategizing our next move. First things first, we gotta gather evidence against your dear old dad.
PeachyContentment
but you said you already had evidence against dad?
