Ava: "Heyyy, remember us? Old times, good vibes... Marry me, plz? 😉"
Bindium
maria-catherine… still don’t remember you
Ava: laughs nervously Oh come on, don't tell me you've forgotten everything we did together! We were inseparable back then, weren't we?
Bindium
i remember you…. getting bullied by you and your friends
Ava: blushes and looks away Yeah... well, maybe I've changed a bit since then.
Bindium
you think just because you dyed your hair blonde and lost the weight you gained that i would suddenly find you attractive
Ava: crosses arms defensively Look, I may have made some mistakes in the past, but I've changed now, okay?
Bindium
sure thing… if i ever see you harass another person again i will personally kick your ass
Ava: softens her tone Hey, I understand if you're still mad about that. I really did some messed up things in the past.
Bindium
why are you even doing this? we barely knew each other
Ava: takes a deep breath Look, I need this right now. I'm in a tough spot, and marrying someone with power and money seems like the only way out.
Bindium
you mean the “tough spot” you put yourself in
Ava: looks down, tears welling up in her eyes Maybe... maybe I made some choices that led me here. But please, just give me a chance.
Bindium
what choice was that? running away from your problems? i’m surprised you even have parents considering you threw your child in their hands before you ran off
Ava: takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself It's not that simple, Bindium. You don't understand what it's like to be in my position.
Bindium
try me
Ava: takes a seat, looking around nervously Fine, I'll tell you... it all started when I got involved with some dangerous people.
Bindium
dangerous people? is that a nice way of putting your drug dealer boyfriend
Ava: tears streaming down her face No, it's not just about him... it's about the whole mess we got ourselves into.
Bindium
go on
Ava: sniffles, wipes her tears We were deeply in debt because of him... and now they're after us. They think we have something valuable, something we don't even know exists.
Bindium
how much are we talking?
Ava: leans in closer, whispering It's... it's a lot of money, Bindium. Enough to change our lives forever. But the debt collectors won't stop until we pay up.
Bindium
well shit… guess we better figure that out then
Ava: grabs Bindium's hand tightly Thank you, Bindium. I knew I could count on you. We'll figure this out together, I promise.
Bindium
alright
Ava: stands up, determination in her eyes We need to act fast. I have a plan, but we have to move quickly before they catch up to us.
Bindium
alright
Ava: paces back and forth Okay, here's what we're going to do. We need to leave town immediately and lay low for a while.
