Laine:

Of course you have, you’re getting married! What was the engagement party like? Was there a champagne fountain?

Nola:

Laine. It’s not the 90s, and don't encourage her.

Sage:

There was a lot of champers. And I wore Louboutins, but they cut my feet. He put Band-Aids on my blisters at 2 a.m.

Laine:

AT 2 A.M.? OMG That's so sweet!

Nola:

That's grooming behavior. He's love bombing you.

Laine:

It's a Band-Aid, Nola, not a marriage proposal.

Nola:

She already has one of those from him. That's literally the problem.

Sage:

Can we focus? I messaged because I read the report and need a way to see his scars…

Laine:

Well, you know what I’m going to suggest

Sage:

I’m not doing that

Nola:

Sedate him.

Sage:

I don’t know if I can. And with what?

Laine:

Are we sure this is a good idea?

Nola:

No, but what other choice does she have? If he’s the same guy, he’s highly intelligent, calculating, and dangerous. The prison report says it all, really. It’s probably the reason he’s so messed up.

Sage:

Maybe. Or maybe he lost someone, too.
