Page 73 of Cruel Lies

RONAN:I see the woman who looked at a glass tank hanging off the edge of a building last night and jumped in first. Then dared me to follow.

RONAN:I see a mouth made for saying rude things. I see beauty that refuses to see itself.

RONAN:You are beautiful, Calista Meadows.

RONAN:That's day one.

CALI:Day one of WHAT

RONAN:Of every day. As stated in the note. I keep my terms.

CALI:Oh we are NOT skipping to terms. We are starting with the part where you committed a FELONY.

RONAN:Which felony?

CALI:THE BREAKING AND ENTERING ONE

RONAN:Nothing was broken.

CALI:That's not the legal standard and you know it. You're a lawyer.

RONAN:Then I'm guilty of entering. At most. And I'd argue implied consent.

CALI:Implied HOW

RONAN:You fell asleep in my shirt.

CALI:That is not a legal doctrine!!

RONAN:It should be.

CALI:My security cameras are missing four hours and twenty-four minutes of footage, Ronan.

RONAN:Cameras are unreliable. Especially the ones your ex-husband installed. He bought the cheapest model with the most menacing-looking housing. That tells you everything about the man.

CALI:I want my mirrors back.

RONAN:No.

CALI:Excuse me??

RONAN:They're safe. They're being kept in comfortable conditions.

CALI:Comfortable conditions? They're MIRRORS.

RONAN:[Image attached]

CALI:Did you just send me a PROOF OF LIFE photo of my own bathroom mirror

RONAN:It's leaning against a very nice wall. Climate controlled. It's happier than it's ever been.

CALI:I'm calling the police.

RONAN:You made pancakes instead.

CALI:…How do you know I made pancakes.

CALI:RONAN.
