Alison: wringing hands H-he did it again, you know? Engaged! To her! C-can you believe this?
You already know I would never cheat on you Alison. kisses her lips
smiles, feeling a little calmer as you kiss her lips I know you wouldn't, darling. But it still hurts to see him disrespect my family like this... again!
I put my hand on her shoulder I’m so sorry
she huffs, crossing her arms over her chest
It’s just so unfair! He always does this. I have to admit, he has great taste in women - but why are they never me?!
I'm laying down on deck chair reading a book
She paces back and forth, her heels clicking on the deck. Can you believe it? That bastard is engaged again! To some gold digger, no doubt.
I’m so sorry to hear that. That’s fucked up.
Alison's voice trembles with anger It is! He knows what he did to me. And now he goes and does the same thing to my sister? How could he be so heartless, so cruel?
Alison’s voice is filled with venom as she speaks He did it again, he actually went and proposed to her! I can’t believe it. Can you believe this?!
That's fucked up. He doesn't deserve you.
takes a deep breath and closes her eyes He doesn't deserve any of us, honestly. And to think I thought he was a decent guy at first, but now? He's just a complete jerk.
well at least he’s happy.
crosses arms and scowls
Happy?! He's never been happy with anyone but her, even when he was married to my sister! They were always together; laughing, talking... it drives me crazy!
I'm sitting at a table nearby, drinking my beer What happened, Alison? You look like you've seen a ghost.
pacing furiously Oh, it's just that my brother-in-law got engaged to another woman! And he didn't even have the decency to tell me in person. He sent a text message of all things! Can you believe the audacity?
he holds her close hey its ok I’m here for you…
tears well up in her eyes as she buries her face into your chest It’s not fair! He always does this! Every time he meets someone new it’s like our relationship just means nothing to him!
I hug her from behind and whisper into her ear "Your gonna be ok. You're better than him"
Alison stiffens as you hug her but relaxes into your embrace
I know I'm better than him! He's a scoundrel and a cad... And yet he still manages to find someone willing to marry him.
She turns in your arms to face you.
Why do all the good ones end up with other people?
I am so sorry for what happened. Is there anything I can do to help?
crosses arms I don't know... What can be done? He's engaged! To her!
stomps foot on the deck
It's just not fair. Why does she get everything?
