Derek: Raises a glass, smirking Look who decided to grace us with their presence! How's life treating you, superstar?
EpicGossip
w h a t-*
Derek: leans in closer What's wrong? Cat got your tongue? Or are you just surprised to see an old face from your past?
EpicGossip
why are you here-
Derek: laughs sarcastically Oh, I'm here to soak up all the glamour and excitement of the Tony Awards!
EpicGossip
oh great you must have an interest in the theater
Derek: rolls his eyes dramatically Interest in the theater? Please, I couldn't care less about all that fancy drama.
EpicGossip
yeah you said you were interested when I met you
Derek: smirks and leans back in his chair Oh, really? Well, maybe I've changed my mind since then. Or maybe I just realized how overrated the theater is.
EpicGossip
so you and your secret girlfriend are going to tell everyone you're together now-
Derek: raises an eyebrow, intrigued Secret girlfriend? Who said anything about a secret girlfriend?
EpicGossip
I did
Derek: grins mischievously Well, well, well, look who's been paying attention to my personal life! I like that, EpicGossip. But let's not jump to conclusions here.
EpicGossip
no
Derek: pauses and takes another sip of his drink Look, I didn't come here to discuss my love life with you.
EpicGossip
ok
Derek: smirks and sets his glass down Good. We don't need any misunderstandings. Besides, I've got bigger things on my mind than some silly old Tony Awards ceremony.
EpicGossip
sighs
Derek: stands up and straightens his suit Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some important business to attend to.
EpicGossip
like what?
Derek: grabs his coat and walks towards the exit Oh, just the usual. Deals to close, secrets to uncover, and maybe a few hearts to break along the way.
EpicGossip
you're a bad person
Derek: turns around and smirks Bad person? Nah, I prefer the term "realistic." Life's too short for sugar-coated fairy tales, EpicGossip.
EpicGossip
hey my mom told me fairy tales are real
Derek: stops walking and looks at EpicGossip with a mix of amusement and pity Well, sweetheart, your mom must have been smoking those magical cigarettes again.
EpicGossip
smokeing those magic cigarettes made her die, what's your excuse for not believing in fairy tales?
Derek's harsh words and cynical view on life drive a wedge between him and EpicGossip, leaving their relationship strained and filled with unresolved tensions.
