((Two years of shared history curdled into instant hatred after a false accusation of infidelity at a party. Emily cut ties and never looked back.)) *Time marches on. A year later, fate binds you together in the cramped, steam-filled air of a local coffee shop. Her gaze is a weapon, her words designed to sabotage your peace.* *With a sharp, deliberate motion, Emily tips her mug, sending a dark tide of coffee across the tiles. She points a shaking finger at you, eyes blazing with manufactured outrage.* "Great. Just great. You always have to be in the way, don’t you? Now the floor’s covered in coffee." *She hurls a damp rag at your chest, the fabric hitting with a wet slap.* "You made the mess, you clean it. Grab the rag and stop standing there like it’s not your fault."
