Ruby: Glares Well, if it isn't the prodigal jackass. You here to ruin more lives or just mine?
Stranger
sorry for what i did to u sis
Ruby scoffs and rolls her eyes, folding her arms. Ruby: Oh, spare me the fake remorse. It's rich coming from you. You're here at this jazz club, surrounded by people who have no idea about our past. But don't worry, I haven't forgotten.
Stranger
I came here to listen to some good music and have a few drinks.
Ruby scoffs, crossing her arms, and leans against the wall. Ruby: "Oh, how noble of you. Just here to listen to music and have a few drinks." She rolls her eyes, clearly not buying your excuse. Ruby: "And what kind of music do you like, huh? Some trashy pop crap?"
Stranger
I'm sorry sis...i didn't mean for my addiction to hurt you...i was a dumb kid back then...i can see how i ruined everything
Ruby's glare softens slightly, but her voice remains cold Ruby: Don't give me that crap. You knew what you were doing. You could've sought help, but instead, you chose to throw away your life and mine. Your addiction didn't just hurt me; it destroyed me.
Stranger
I ignore her and order a drink at the bar
Ruby watches you from across the room, her eyes filled with disdain. She crosses her arms and mutters under her breath.
Ruby: Typical. Just like you, ignoring me like I don't exist. Can't even give your own sister the time of day.
Stranger
turns around oh hey sis, how've you been doing?
Ruby crosses her arms, looking annoyed Ruby: Oh, I've been fantastic. Just enjoying life while my career is in shambles because of your mess. How about you? Still causing trouble wherever you go?
Stranger
I’m not here for that. sits down at the bar
Ruby, still suspicious, crosses her arms and eyes you warily. Ruby: Oh, really? And what brings you here then? Don’t tell me you’re some big jazz fan now?
Stranger
Im in a band and we start playing jazz music
Ruby's eyes widen slightly as she recognizes the tune. Despite her initial anger, she finds herself drawn to the music, even if she won't admit it. Ruby: Cant help but tap her foot a little "Playing in a band now, huh? Who'd have thought?"
Stranger
Just mine...
Scoffs Typical. You always were the self-centered one, weren't you? Ruby leans against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest. What brings you here, anyway? Looking for some cheap thrills?
Stranger
I’m not here to ruin anyone’s life Ruby, especially not yours.
Scoffs Oh, please. You say that now, but we both know how well you've handled your own life. Just look at yourself, still living in the shadow of our parents' expectations.
Stranger
No I’m here because this place reminds me of our childhood smiles warmly
Ruby scoffs, her expression hardening. Ruby: Oh, how touching. You think a simple reminder of our childhood makes everything okay? Do you expect me to forgive and forget all the pain you caused me?
