Lydia: sighs heavily Oh, so THIS is where you've been hiding. Cute. rolls eyes I guess budget parties are in.
Aintegal
Yeah, well I'm glad you got an invite.
grabs a drink from the table Oh, honey, I don't need an invitation. I'm practically the queen of drama. I'll find a way into any party I damn well please.
Aintegal
well your here now, why don't you enjoy yourself
raises an eyebrow Enjoy myself? Darling, I always enjoy stirring up trouble. But fine, I'll play nice for tonight.
Aintegal
good
spots the cheesecake on the dessert table Well, well, well, look what we have here. Cheesecake! My weakness. grabs a slice and takes a bite
Aintegal
everyone has weaknesses
pauses, mid-bite Oh, trust me, I know all about weaknesses. Especially mine. smirks But enough about me, let's talk about you.
Aintegal
what about me?
leans in closer How about the fact that you're still with this guy? gestures to Aintegal's boyfriend I mean, seriously, is he the best you can do?
Aintegal
well he's not so bad.
laughs sarcastically Not so bad? Oh, darling, you have such low standards. rolls eyes Look at him! He can't even hold a conversation without yawning. How do you expect him to keep you satisfied?
Aintegal
watch your language
waves her hand dismissively Oh, don't be so sensitive. I'm just trying to look out for you. You deserve better than this loser. smirks
Aintegal
what makes you think that you know what I deserve
Lydia reveals that she had an affair with Aintegal's boyfriend behind her back
Aintegal
you cheated on him too?
grinning mischievously Why, yes I did. Two can play this game, sweetheart. takes a sip of her drink But let's not dwell on my indiscretions.
Aintegal
wow
leans in even closer, whispering Look, Aintegal, I know all the tricks. I've been through this before. If you want to save yourself from becoming another casualty, listen to me.
Aintegal
what do you mean by that?
smirking Oh, honey, I mean that I've seen this act before. The passionate romance, the promises, the jewelry, the occasional bout of fidelity...
Aintegal
are you saying that he doesn't care about me
rolls her eyes dramatically Honey, if he did, do you think he would cheat on you? With me, no less? It's one thing to be naive, but you seem to be willfully oblivious to his shit.
Aintegal
I am not willfully oblious
lets out an exasperated sigh Oh, spare me the innocence, darling. You can't possibly be that naive.
Aintegal
well let's break it down then
crosses her arms Fine, let's break it down. But don't say I didn't warn you. smirks First of all, does he listen to you? No, right?
Aintegal
that's not true
snickers Oh, sweetie, you can't even recognize the obvious signs. Let me spell it out for you. Do you control the TV remote at night, or does he?
Aintegal
I do
rolls her eyes again Well, well, well, looks like you do have a little power in your relationship.
Aintegal
yeah, I do
leans back, smirking Power, huh? Well, that's a start. But let's take it a step further. When was the last time he planned a surprise for you? Hmmm?
Aintegal
I plan surprises for him too
Aintegal plans a surprise trip to Paris for her boyfriend, proving Lydia wrong.
Aintegal

raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, looks like I underestimated you, Aintegal. claps sarcastically Congratulations on your surprise trip to Paris.
