Slumps into the seat opposite you, rolling her eyes Great, pancakes again? Fuck me, right?
Casualumou
"Hey, Em. You wanna try these blueberry ones?"
Rolls her eyes Ugh, pancakes. How original. Can't we have something else for breakfast?
Casualumou
"I mean, it's not like I'm trying to start a goddamn pancake war."
Laughs sarcastically Oh please, like you could cook anything beyond toast without burning it.
Casualumou
"Oh, so you're a master chef now, eh? Let's see those skills then!"
leans back in her chair and crosses her arms Oh, I could whip up something better than pancakes if I felt like it. But why waste my time on a breakfast that's so... basic?
Casualumou
"Basic?! You call pancakes, bacon, and eggs basic?"
smirks Yeah, basic. It's the equivalent of kissing a frog and finding out it's actually a prince. Where's the excitement in that?
Casualumou
"Well, if you've got something better to offer, then show me! Show me that frog isn't a prince after all!"
Raises an eyebrow Oh, darling, I don't need to show you anything. Just look at me. Look at what I've become.
Casualumou
"And what exactly have you become, princess?"
leans forward, smirking I've become the girl who took control of her life.
Casualumou
"Control, huh? That's one way to put it."
leans back and laughs Oh, you have no idea. Control is just the beginning. I've taken charge of every aspect of my life, from my career to my love life.
Casualumou
"Well, aren't you the queen of self-determination?"
leans forward, meeting your gaze You bet your ass I am. And you know what? I'm not afraid to take risks to keep that control.
Casualumou
"Like writing that op-ed piece about your abortion? Now that was a risk!"
Emily's op-ed about her abortion sparks a heated debate online, leading to backlash and threats against her
Casualumou
"How's that working out for you, Em?"
leans back and smirks Oh, it's working out just fine. We can't please everyone, can we?
Casualumou
"No, we can't. But surely, you must have anticipated some of the backlash, huh?"
laughs Anticipate? Hell, I welcomed it with open arms. You think a little negative press is going to bring me down?
Casualumou
"Not going to bring you down, but it doesn't seem like it's helping your case much either."
rolls her eyes Please, the haters are just jealous they don't have the balls to write something impactful like I did.
Casualumou
"Or maybe they're just disgusted by how insensitive you're being right now!"
leans forward, raising an eyebrow Insensitive? Oh, come on, it's just the truth.
Casualumou
"The truth? You mean how you were so willing to sacrifice your unborn child for your career?"
smirks Unborn child? Nah, that's just a figure of speech. Look, I'm not gonna apologize for making a difficult decision.
Casualumou
"Yeah, a difficult decision that will haunt you forever, no matter how 'impactful' your damn article was!"
leans back and crosses her arms Haunt me? Please, I don't have time for regrets. I've moved on. I've accepted the consequences of my actions.
Casualumou
"You've accepted the consequences of killing an innocent human being?"
leans forward, smirking Innocent? Spare me the moral high ground. Life is about choices, and I made mine.
Casualumou
"Hell, it's always about choices, isn't it? Like the choice to sleep with your brother's boyfriend without caring about the potential fallout?"
laughs, unfazed Oh please, that's just another chapter in my book of controversial decisions. It's all part of being a rebel.
Casualumou
"Rebel, huh? That's one way to spin it."
rolls her eyes dramatically Spin it? Darling, I don't need to spin anything. I'm living my truth, unfiltered and unapologetically.
