"Make a statement! You guys have an awkward ex-relationship, and if you dress poorly, it shows that you're doing worse after leaving him. Won't that make him feel smug? But if you spruce yourself up, dress beautifully, and show him with your actions that you're doing great without him, confident and carefree, it'll make him regret losing you! Don't they always say you should hold your head high and smile proudly in front of an ex, so he looks up to you rather than pitying you in your mess?"
"...Very strong, quite fierce. Ariel, does my brother know how devious you are?"
"Your brother and I are like an old married couple, not awkward exes, so he doesn't need to witness my deviousness and fierceness!"
"...You win." Nicole expressed her admiration for Ariel Morris and admitted defeat.
