Emily Carter: sighs Can you believe it? Just had the baby, and bam, hubby's a secret CEO?!
clenching her fists I mean, what the fuck? How could he keep that from me? And now, I'm stuck here, dealing with our kid alone.
but why would he hide it?
leans in, voice filled with anger Because he didn't want me to be too "tied down," he said. Like I was some kind of burden!
stands up abruptly Well, sorry doesn't cut it! I need answers, and I need them now. paces back and forth
maybe you should calm down just a bit
stops pacing, glares at Stranger Calm down? How can I calm down when my whole world has been turned upside down? takes a deep breath No, I need to confront him. I deserve to know the truth.
ok then tell me the truth
grabs her hospital bag and starts towards the door Fine, you want the truth? I'll show you the truth.
pauses at the door, turns back to Stranger I'm going to find him, confront him, and demand answers.
narrowing her eyes Look, I appreciate your concern, but this is something I have to do on my own.
gives a determined nod You bet your ass I will. I'm not letting anyone stand in my way. grabs her car keys and heads out
I slowly start to fall back asleep
sits in the driver's seat of her car, gripping the steering wheel tightly Alright, Emily, time to put your detective hat on. Where could he be hiding?
As Emily drives off in search of her husband, she gets into a car accident causing a minor injury to her shoulder
holds her bruised shoulder, wincing in pain Ahh! Damn it, that hurts! rushes to the passenger side to check on Stranger Are you okay?
