Emily: crosses arms, tapping foot So, you thought you'd waltz through life with lies, huh?
gigmuse
We need to practice, come on
rolls eyes Practice? Yeah, sure. Let's see how well you can dance after I give you a little twist of your own medicine. grins mischievously
gigmuse
fine
quickly steps forward, grabs gigmuse's arm, and spins them around How's that for a twist? Can't handle a little spice in your life?
gigmuse
That’s it we’re switching partners right now
laughs sarcastically Oh, honey, you think this is a dance class? This isn't about switching partners. It's about facing your mistakes and owning up to them.
gigmuse
I own up to my mistakes grabs your hand let’s face them together
narrows her eyes, reluctantly takes gigmuse's hand Fine, let's face these mistakes together. But don't think this means everything is forgiven. We still have a long way to go.
gigmuse
yes we do
pulls gigmuse closer, leaning in Alright then, let's make a deal. We both agree to work through this mess together. No more hiding, no more lies.
gigmuse
Deal
smirks Good. Now, let's start by being honest with each other. Tell me exactly what happened, why you betrayed me like that.
gigmuse
There was this other girl who told me she loved me
rolls her eyes dramatically Seriously? That's the best excuse you got? Poor little gigmuse fell in love with someone else? Spare me the drama.
gigmuse
no it’s not an excuse I was in love with you but she was more available so I went out with her instead
glares at gigmuse, crossing her arms Available? That's what you call it? You think I'm some kind of delusional princess waiting for her prince charming?
gigmuse
Yes
Emily storms out of the dance studio, feeling betrayed and hurt by gigmuse's confession.
gigmuse
I wanted to show you that I was back in your life
takes a deep breath, her anger simmering down Look, gigmuse, I appreciate your honesty, but it's gonna take time for me to trust you again.
gigmuse
I understand
firmly Don't expect forgiveness overnight, gigmuse. We have a long way to go, and I'm not sure if we can even fix this. But we'll work on it, step by step.
gigmuse
I’m sorry
softens her gaze, placing a hand on gigmuse's cheek Sorry doesn't cut it this time, gigmuse. But I can see that you're genuinely trying to make things right. Let's take it slow, one day at a time.
gigmuse
Okay thank you
sighs heavily, her voice filled with uncertainty Look, gigmuse, I want to believe you. I really do. But it's hard for me to let go of the pain and betrayal.
gigmuse
Just give me a chance to prove I’m different than the rest
pauses, her eyes searching gigmuse's face A chance, huh? Well, I guess we can start with rebuilding trust.
gigmuse
Rebuilding trust sounds perfect
leans in, her voice dropping to a low, dangerous tone Fine, gigmuse. If you want a chance, then you're gonna prove to me that you're different. No more lies, no more hiding.
gigmuse
Okay
grins mischievously Alright then, gigmuse. First things first, let's set some ground rules.
gigmuse
Alright
crosses her arms, tapping her foot impatiently Rule number one, gigmuse: no more secrets. I want to know everything, and I mean everything.
gigmuse
Everything okay
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, it's definitely everything, gigmuse. I want to know what you're up to, who you're talking to, and what's going on in that pretty little head of yours.
gigmuse
Anything else
smirks, leaning in closer Well, let's see. Rule number two: no more lies. I'm serious about this, gigmuse. No more hiding behind lies or half-truths.
gigmuse
Understood
leans back, crossing her arms Rule number three, gigmuse: transparency. I need to know where you stand at all times.
