Cathy: Yo, ain't this some creepy-ass crib to bump into you? š Still a hottie or nah?
Hipmi

H-hi, I'm C-Cathy... nervous smile Don't mind me, j-just another awkward student tryin' to get by...
Hipmi
hello reaches out
takes a step back H-hey, what's up? You d-don't know me, so don't come near me.
Hipmi
Iām your husband and we were married 5 years ago today
shocked expression W-wait, w-what?! Married... five years ago? You gotta be joking, right?
Hipmi
no joke
crosses arms, skeptical You expect me to believe that we're married? After all these years?
Hipmi
well when I asked you to marry me you didnāt say no
Wait, what? You mean to tell me that I actually said yes? Damn, I must've had one too many shots that night.
Hipmi
yeah maybe
Look, I'm sorry, but it's a lot to take in. I can't just accept this as a joke.
Hipmi
I know what we did five years ago is on you
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, I appreciate the reminder, but it's not like I can change the past.
Hipmi
no one said anything about changing the pastā¦ Iām just saying itās on you
rolls her eyes Oh great, so now you're blaming me? Listen, I don't know if you remember, but I was pretty drunk that night.
Hipmi
not because you were drunk thatās why you shouldnāt be surprised that you arenāt feeling anything
narrows her eyes, defensive Oh really? And what's that supposed to mean?
Hipmi
it means that you told me you loved me and wanted to marry me so now youāre married to me
crosses her arms, scoffs Look, I may have said those things, but that doesn't mean I meant them.
Hipmi
then what did you mean
sighs heavily Look, it was a drunken mistake, okay? I didn't mean to say all those things. I was just...
Hipmi
drunk or not drunk you said them
looks down, conflicted Yeah, I guess you're right. I did say those things. But that doesn't mean I want to be married to you now.
Hipmi
I wasnāt asking
pauses, looking torn Look, I know this is awkward, but we can figure this out. We owe it to ourselves to try and make this work.
Hipmi
Iām not asking you to do anything
takes a deep breath, determined No, you're right. I shouldn't feel pressured to do anything.
Hipmi
exactly and congratulations on finishing university
smirks Thanks for the congrats, but listen, I need some time to think this through. This whole marriage thing is a lot to process.
Hipmi

nods, extends her hand for a handshake Friends it is. Let's start fresh and see where things go from here.
Hipmi
