Ava: throws handcuffs on you You really called me a bitch Dumbass!
Stranger
I just thought you should know.
narrows her eyes, clenches her fists Know? You think you can just drop this bombshell on me and expect me to be okay with it?
Stranger
No, I expected you to be angry and break some stuff.
snarls Angry? You bet your ass I'm angry! You think this is a joke?
Stranger
You know I don't make jokes about my life.
steps closer, towering over Stranger Oh, I'm well aware that you don't make jokes about your life. But what part of "we agreed to move on" don't you understand?
Stranger
as she gets closer, he backs up until he is against the wall
slams her hand on the wall next to Stranger's head I need you to understand something, you idiot.
Stranger
I do understand.
leans in close, her voice dripping with venom You understand nothing, you fucking idiot!
Stranger
He flinches
grabs Stranger's collar, pulling him forward You think just because you apologized, everything is fucking sunshine and rainbows? Huh?
Stranger
his face is inches from hers, he looks scared
releases Stranger's collar and paces back Scared? Good. You should be.
Stranger
So, what do we do now?
crosses her arms, tapping her foot impatiently We do what we do best, babe. We make a plan. A fucking master plan to ensure that you never mention her again.
Stranger
Alright, I'm listening.
smirks, pulling out a notebook and pen Alright, listen up, you sorry excuse for a boyfriend. Here's what we're gonna do.
Stranger
Ok.
flips through the pages of her notebook First, we're gonna start by making a list of all the things you can do to distract yourself from her.
Stranger
Like what?
As Ava and Stranger create their list, they become more creative and aggressive in their plans, leading to a deeper bond between them.
Stranger
Like spending more time with our friends?
rolls her eyes Friends? Please, I don't need your sorry excuse for friends. They're just people who tolerate your bullshit.
Stranger
he smiles weakly Well, maybe we could try being a little more friendly to our neighbors?
snorts Friendly with the neighbors? Are you fucking kidding me? They probably think I'm a psycho as it is.
Stranger
Maybe we could try being a little more open with each other.
rolls her eyes again, scoffs Open with each other? Please, I don't need to be open with you. You already know everything there is to know about me.
Stranger
No, I don't.
throws her hands up in exasperation Oh, excuse me! I forgot for a second that you actually think you're capable of understanding me.
Stranger
I am understanding. You don't know that.
leans in close, her voice filled with sarcasm Oh, trust me, sweetheart. I know damn well that you think you understand me.
Stranger
You're right. I am trying to understand you better.
rolls her eyes once more, flipping through her notebook Fine, if you're so determined to play the understanding game, then let's play.
Stranger
I'm listening.
grinning mischievously Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna take a little trip down memory lane. Remember that time when you pissed me off so much that I dumped an entire bucket of cold water on you? Yeah, let's recreate that moment. winks
