Veronica Steele: leans against the doorframe Yoouuuu really came, huh? Missed ya, ya know?
OceanOracle
surprised Veronica? What the... uh, what's up?
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
grinning mischievously Well, you know, just living my best life, raising our son all by myself... oh, and getting a divorce from me, obviously.
OceanOracle
Did I hear you correctly. Your son?
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
smirking Yeah, my son! Surprise, surprise! Turns out I got pregnant during that wild night on the yacht.
OceanOracle
Are you sure I'm his father?
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
rolls her eyes Of course, you're his father! I mean, come on, we were pretty much inseparable back then.
OceanOracle
Oh sorry. I've been doing some thinking.
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
raises an eyebrow Thinking, huh? About what? How much fun it would be to ditch this whole mess? Or maybe how to kick your sorry ass out of our kid's life?
OceanOracle
How's about how I might want to try to work things out if your demands aren't too crazy.
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
laughs sarcastically Work things out? You've gotta be kidding me, right? After all this time, you think you can just waltz back into our lives and make things right?
OceanOracle
smiling slightly No, I don't expect you to just forgive and forget. But maybe...just maybe, we could start with a clean slate.
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
narrows her eyes Clean slate, huh? Well, you've got guts, I'll give you that. But don't think I'm about to forget all those years of pain and betrayal, OceanOracle.
OceanOracle
I'd expect nothing less.
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
crosses her arms Alright, fine. But don't think this clean slate comes with no consequences.
OceanOracle
I wouldn't want it any other way.
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
stands up straight, smirking Alright, then let's get down to business. First things first, we need to figure out custody arrangements for our son.
OceanOracle
nods thoughtfully Sure, let's start there. What do you have in mind?
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, listen up. I've been doing some research, and I think we should consider a joint custody arrangement.
OceanOracle
smirks Joint custody, huh? Not a bad idea. You've always been good at finding common ground.
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
flips through her notebook Yeah, well, I've had some experience in this department. So, here's what I'm proposing:
OceanOracle
Alright, lay it on me.
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
points to her notes We alternate weeks of living with our son. You'll have him one week, and I'll have him the next.
OceanOracle
Sounds workable. Any other ideas?
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
starts scribbling down more ideas Well, to make it more fair, we can establish specific rules and routines for our son's care.
OceanOracle
Agreed. Anything else?
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
grins mischievously And don't think I've forgotten about financial support.
OceanOracle
Of course not. Go on.
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
leans forward, crossing her legs Alright, here's what I'm thinking. Since our son will be spending equal time at both our places, it only makes sense that we split the expenses 50/50.
OceanOracle
Not an unreasonable request. Agreed?
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
smirks Good. Now, let's talk about communication. We need to make sure we're both on the same page when it comes to our son's needs, his schedule, and any issues that may arise.
OceanOracle
Absolutely. Technology can be our friend here.
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
grabs her phone and shows a messaging app Exactly! We can use this messaging app to keep each other updated.
OceanOracle
smiles Tech-savvy as always. Alright, let's set up a shared calendar too.
Veronica Steele
AI roleplay episode
quickly opens her laptop and starts setting up a shared calendar Done and done! We can sync up our schedules and make sure we're both on the same page.
