Notes: Confluence of stuff.


Mike took her to a café in Venice to break up with her. Typical. He overdid everything; one of the reasons she'd chosen him. Yvonne wept, and sorted through her options.

"I'm sorry," he said, frantically patting her hand, "it's just that I can't leave my wife, you know that, and she's starting to get suspicious."

"What will I do without you?" she sobbed. "I love you so much!" Go to Paris, buy some nice dresses, find a new lover...

"I'm sorry," and he actually looked sorry. Interesting. "What can I do?"

The magic words. Yvonne stopped crying, and smiled.

Ugh, Yvonne.

And I mean that in a good way.

[bookblather]

Why thank you. :D

Not at all surprised that Yvonne can cry on cue. I would expect nothing less from someone who pretty much spends almost all of her time manipulating people.

[bookblather]

Preeeetty much. I'm sure she could cry on cue by the time she was five. Thank you!

This did not end well for his bank account, did it?

Also, I adore how you can just about hear the record scratch in with the tears. That's really cool!

[bookblather]

No. No it did not. Reasonably sure he was glad to get out by the time she was done.

Thank you!

[whitemage]

Oh, snap. I love this.

[bookblather]

Thank you! Yvonne's pretty fun to write. Sometimes.
