“You said I needed to look excited or something, you never said how excited”
So she was playing an act? Of course, she was. Why would Dan ever think there could be something… there, Val clearly didn’t. Even Yara didn’t see anything in him, hence cheating on him. He just wasn’t worth it, and Dan was fine with that. He had gotten used to that idea. Or at least, that’s what it seemed like as he looked upon Val’s features. As she said the words, there weren’t any tells on her face that she was lying. So Dan just nodded, “Uh… good… yeah.. good,” he muttered as she talked about acting school. With her poker face, Dan could clearly tell she was going to go places. Just like Yara had gone places in broadway. Though, bringing himself out of his thoughts he nodded. “I’ll meet you there, let me cash this out,” Dan told her - though really just needing some time to himself. To think.
As he went back to the exchange, getting it transferred into his bank account - or at least the one he had created for his fake ID, 1.5 million, halfway towards a shiny new Island. Though, perhaps Dan had taken a little longer than he promised on returning. He just… needed a breather. But he wasn’t going to leave her there. What he hadn’t expected was for a guy to be all over Val when he returned. Or at least trying to be all over her. She was drunk but she was still clearly handling herself. Dan smiled coming back as he put his arm around Val, “Hey love, is this man bothering you?” Dan asked, playing the boyfriend once again. What was it with Americans respecting a man saying she’s taken then a girl saying she’s not interested? What the absolute f*ck was wrong with this damn country?
