Harper:
We need to talk.
Danni:
About what?
Harper:
About Paris.
[pause]
Danni:
I... I don't know what you're talking about.
Harper:
Remember your first day back at work? You talked about how sunny and clear it was before the bombings? Well I remember reading it was raining right before the attacks. That's weird, right? But I thought, Hey, you know what? She's confused, she's been through a lot. It happens. But then at your party, you know, the one for your brilliant article? You said you went and toured Notre Dame. Which I found odd considering that it's been closed to the public since half of it burned down.
Danni:
OK...
Harper:
So I decided to look up this retreat, Esprit Nouveau. Which other than one website, doesn't really seem to exist. And when I googled all the names on the list, not a single one turned up anything on writing, except yours. My God, does nobody fact-check anything anymore?
Danni:
OK, if you just give me...
Harper:
Uh, no I'm not done. See I had my suspicions but I didn't have proof.
Harper:
[takes out Danni's laptop to reveal the photo-shopped pictures of her in Paris]
Till I saw this.
Danni:
You went through my computer? Why would you do that?
Harper:
You know what? Because I didn't like you. I never trusted you. The way you acted when you came back from Paris was sus as hell. And yeah, I was probably jealous that you got an office. But you know what I didn't do? Lie about being in a fucking terrorist attack to get one for myself!
Danni:
[panicking]
I didn't know! How was I supposed to know there was going to be a terrorist attack - I was just lying about a trip, that was it, to get Colin's attention!
Harper:
So what? You thought THIS was better than admitting that you lied in a couple of instagram stories?
Danni:
I don't know, I don't know, I just - Harper, I'm a different person now. Please, please, what do you want? Do you want money? I can find you money. My parents have a lot of connections. OK? My mom can get you into Solo House, the one in Malibu.
Harper:
People died, Danni! Do you get that? People died.
Danni:
I know.
Harper:
I'm gonna give you two options, here. You can either wait for me to write an article exposing you, which would be really good for my career, or I will give you the oppurtunity to tell everyone yourself.
Danni:
I don't...
Harper:
You have until Monday to make your decision. Oh and by the way, whichever one you pick, you owe Rowan Aldren a fucking apology.
