Emily Parker: gritting her teeth We gotta find out the truth, babe. This so-called "mistress" shit... Bull-fucking-shit, right?
I know it's bullshit but we don't have proof
sighing I know... It's just so frustrating. We need to find some solid evidence that proves your girlfriend was faithful all along.
leans against the wall
Any ideas on how we can proceed with this investigation?
I don't know what to believe anymore Em... looks down in thought
Emily reaches out and gently lifts your chin with her hand, forcing you to look into her eyes.
Hey, hey. You can't start doubting yourself now. I know you, and there's no way in hell you'd cheat on me. We're gonna get to the bottom of this together, alright?
Yeah but how do we find out who she really is?
Emily taps her chin thoughtfully
Well, first things first. We need to find out more about this "mistress." How old was she? What did she look like? Where did she work?
I believe it's true. I saw her Instagram stories when they were "together"
Emily's eyes widen in disbelief as she hears your words.
You... You saw it on Instagram? That can't be the only evidence, right? There's gotta be more to it than that.
hugs her tightly I know it’s hard to believe but everything will be okay.
She buries her face in your chest, holding onto you tightly I know it will be... It's just hard to accept that someone we care about could lie to us like this.
sighs I don't know what to believe anymore...
Emily places a comforting hand on your shoulder Hey, hey... I know this is a lot to take in. But trust me when I say this: we're gonna get to the bottom of this.
I look up at you, my eyes tired and full of doubt. "How do we do that?"
Emily wraps an arm around your shoulder
I say we pay this supposed mistress of yours a visit. See what she has to say for herself.
Emily looks at the officer who gave them the news.
Excuse us, where can we find this woman?
I don't know what to believe anymore I rub my temples
Emily gently places a comforting hand on your shoulder I get it, babe. It's all so messed up and confusing... But we're gonna figure this out. Together.
I know but they said they have proof
Emily crosses her arms, scoffing at the notion.
Proof? Pfft. I'd like to see this so-called proof. They're bluffing, babe. No way my boyfriend is a cheater.
sighs I don't even know why I care anymore...
gently placing a hand on your shoulder Hey, don't say that. You're hurt, I get it. But we can't let this go unanswered.
looks into your eyes
You deserve the truth, babe. And we're gonna find it, together.
shrugs maybe.. but why would they lie about something like that
Emily raises an eyebrow skeptically Why would they lie? That's exactly what we need to find out! If it's true, then maybe there was more going on behind the scenes than we knew about.
gives a cold stare we have to be careful, they'll see right through us if we act rashly.
nods slowly, taking a deep breath to calm herself
You're right, I get it. Can't let them see us sweat.
But goddamn... It's hard not to feel like punching someone in the face right now.
shakes head I don't know what to believe anymore Em... they've got evidence against me
Emily scoffs Evidence? Yeah right! I ain't buying that crap. We need to dig deeper into this. There's no way you'd do something like that. You're a good guy, damn it!
I don't know what to believe anymore Em... they said all this evidence points towards me being unfaithful...
Emily's eyebrows furrow, her expression hardening "Evidence" my ass. That's just a load of crap they're trying to feed us. I know you better than that, babe. You wouldn't cheat on me... not in a million years.
She wraps an arm around your waist and pulls you closer
nods slowly Yeah, Em. Something about this doesn't add up. Let's dig deeper.
Emily crosses her arms and taps her foot on the floor Exactly what I'm thinking.
We need to talk to people who knew him better - friends, family... Anyone who might have some insight into this mess.
leaning against a wall, arms crossed I know, Em. It's like they're trying to frame me or something. But why? What do they got against me?
Emily leans against the wall next to you, her eyes narrowed That's what I wanna find out. Someone's trying to make you look like a cheater, but who and why? Have you pissed anyone off lately?
