The way they argued earlier made Yesseca reminisce about the past.
She always argued with Tremaine in the past.
Tremaine was a man with a very sharp tongue after all.
She always lost every argument she had with him. Tremaine would always render her speechless. This conversation reminded her of those times.
She then felt something she hadn't felt in a long time!
That long-lost sense of familiarity she once had with Tremaine.
After Tremaine apologized, she said, "Actually, you were right earlier."
Tremaine was shocked.
His deep dark eyes shimmered in surprise.
He thought he had angered her with what he said earlier.
The last thing he expected was for Yesseca to say that he was right.
"How come?" Tremaine asked, exasperated, "I said something that you clearly disagreed with."
Yesseca sighed, "Even though I disagree with it, you were still being honest. You were being yourself. Just like how you used to be, you were much better then."
She wasn't used to the new, polite Tremaine.
It didn't feel real. He wasn't like the Tremaine she'd known.
The Tremaine she knew had a very sharp tongue, was very competitive, and often spoke outlandishly.
Tremaine was speechless at what Yesseca said to him.
Yesseca also realized that she had overstepped.
She then grabbed Dory's hand, "I should take Dory home now. Goodbye"
Yesseca quickly left the store with Dory in tow.
Tremaine quietly watched Yesseca leave. He watched her for a long time without saying a word.
"Mr. Tremaine?" Sheldon noticed that Tremaine was in a daze and went to snap him out of it.
Tremaine blinked, then looked at him.
As he stared at Sheldon, he asked, "Did Yesseca say that she liked the old me better?"
