Anne: The story I hear is not the one you would like to tell. No wonder we have our wires crossed on the power grid.
Louis: You have no clue of what power means or what it can do (sounds like a veiled threat), so it will make sense for you to move out of my orbit.
Anne: The future of power lies in succession lines, but you are all set to lose me.
Louis: I love the confidence that you will out-live me.
Anne: You are surrounded by paparazzi, Louis, and they will write your future … if there is a tomorrow.

Creative Experiments and More 
Well played, Reena. The lure and seduction of such attention has no doubt been the downfall of many. Illusion, so much is illusion. A certain challenge not to succumb to the manipulation of reality. I feel bad for those like Anne, who try as she may, can’t get through.

Nice tension between the two characters! Perhaps this is a nightly occurrence of text arguments?!

Must be interesting, to be the object of interest of paparazzi. Like living in a world of moving funhouse mirrors.
Sometimes the reflection is what we want to see, other times what they want to see.

Nice last comment from Anne. It makes me wonder how far one can trust the paparazzi with whatever Louis wants the future to be.

Well, it’s a rather bitter fact that the conversation is referring to, I wouldn’t find it intriguing. Thanks for the interesting blog, though.
