[ch. 2] post-trial, w/ evan

[asswipe]

[Hey, Evan. Veronica's just... dragging a hand down her face when they stumble upon each other or something, looking wrung out.]

Hi. I hate this.

Comments

[asswipe]

[She thinks for a moment, trying to find something unrelated and simple enough that it won't make things worse. Finally, she settles on:]

... Movies. [unsure, but—] Are you a movie fan, Evan?

[selfinserting]

...Yeah. Yeah, I like movies, um, as much as anyone else.]

[A beat.]

What's your favorite...?

[asswipe]

Uh... I don't really have a favorite. But my best friend loves anything with a happy ending, and I guess I'm a fan of that, too?

[Probably. She pauses.]

That wasn't very specific, was it?

[selfinserting]

[He shakes his head.]

No, um - even, um, even if it's not specific, happy endings are... good. Your friend sounds like they, they have good taste.
