Faux Vows, True Desires

A car pulled up in front of the coffee shop.

Ruby stepped out, dressed in a stylish black business suit, her hair in a bun, and big black sunglasses that covered half her face. With her chin up, she strutted into the coffee shop.

"Ms. Scott?"

Lucinda was taken aback as Ruby sauntered in, but only for a sec. She quickly left her spot behind the cash register to greet Ruby.

"Ms. Scott, what can I get for you, we have..."

"Slap!" Lucinda's hospitable offer was cut short by a slap.

Cecilia, seeing this, rushed over.

"Slap!"

Another resounding smack. Again, the sound of a hand hitting flesh. This time, it was Lucinda slapping Ruby.

Ruby was taken aback, she didn't expect Lucinda to hit her. Holding her slapped cheek, she glared at Lucinda, fuming, "Lucinda, how dare you hit me!"

No one had ever dared to lay a finger on Ruby. And here was Lucinda, smacking her in the face.

"Ms. Scott, respect is mutual. I thought you were a customer, so I respected you. But you slapped me without warning for no reason. I won't just take it lying down. You hit me, so I hit you back." Ruby slapped her, so she slapped Ruby back. Fair trade! No extra punches were thrown.

"You!"
