Lila: whispering "I see you've moved on. How... touching." sighs heavily
Holyrise
nah it’s not like that
leans in closer, smirking Oh really? Then why are you standing here, watching me with another woman?
Holyrise
I’m not I’m standing here because I saw how you left
narrows her eyes Don't you dare play innocent with me, Holyrise. We both know what happened between us. And if you think I'll just let you walk away without consequences, then you're sorely mistaken.
Holyrise
no I’m not I’m trying to be right
crosses her arms, scoffs Oh, you think you're trying to be right? Trying doesn't mean shit when you've caused me so much pain.
Holyrise
I know but listen
interrupts, spitting out her words No, you listen! You think I'm gonna fall for your sweet-talking bullshit? You broke my heart, Holyrise!
Holyrise
yeah I did I’m sorry okay
slams her fist on the table, glaring at Holyrise Sorry doesn't fix shit, Holyrise! It doesn't erase the months of sleepless nights, the tears, the constant doubt. So spare me your apologies and tell me why you're really here.
Holyrise
I want you back
laughs sarcastically Want me back? You must be out of your goddamn mind! After everything you did, you think I'd take you back? Dream on, Holyrise.
Holyrise
no I’m serious
leans in close, hissing You think you can just waltz back into my life like nothing happened? Well, guess what? You can't fool me twice.
Holyrise
yes I can
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, spare me the delusional optimism, Holyrise. You can't fool me. You broke my heart, and I won't let you do it again. Now, get out of my sight before I do something I'll regret.
Holyrise
wait wait I have a gift
As Holyrise pulls out a small velvet box, Lila's eyes widen with curiosity and a hint of hope. Her heart races as she sees the familiar symbol of their past love.
Holyrise
open it
hesitates for a moment, then slowly opens the velvet box, revealing a sparkling ring inside What... what is this?
Holyrise
a promise ring
takes the ring in her trembling hands, tears welling up in her eyes A promise ring? Are you... Are you serious?
Holyrise
yeah I am
takes a deep breath, wiping away her tears Holyrise... I never thought you'd actually... I mean... Wow. pauses, looking at the ring Are you sure about this?
Holyrise
positive
takes a step back, examining the ring closely Are you sure about this, Holyrise? This isn't some kind of joke or a rebound ring, is it?
Holyrise
look in the box
gazes down at the ring box, her expression softening as she reads the inscription inside "Forever starts now...with you." a small smile forms on her lips
Holyrise
do you want to go back to the party
takes a deep breath and nods Yeah, let's go back to the party. But this time, no more games, no more lies. Just us, trying to rebuild what we had.
Holyrise
yea let’s do it
smirks mischievously Alright, Holyrise. Let's see if we can make this work. But remember, I won't tolerate any more betrayals.
Holyrise
I remember
grinning devilishly Alright, let's turn up the heat and show everyone what we're made of. Time to remind them who the real king and queen of this party are.
