Jenna: grinning wickedly Happy birthday! Guess what? I'm not your real mom, darling. Just your mother-in-law! Surprise!
Happy birthday mom. You really aren’t giving any good clues as to who you are.
raises an eyebrow Well, let me give you a hint, sweetheart. I'm someone who took an interest in you long before your father did.
smirking Let me think... where should I start? How about the fact that we met when you were just a toddler? Or maybe the part where I had to deal with your father's antics while he was growing up? Oh, I know!
Tell me about that day I was born.
leans back, crossing her arms Ah, the day you were born. I remember it vividly.
Do you remember anything from that day?
smirks Of course, I do! How could I forget such a significant day? It was the day I discovered your father's true colors.
Dad’s true colors? What does that mean?
leans forward, eyes gleaming with mischief Oh, honey, let me tell you a little story.
starts pacing back and forth Your father, well, he was always a bit of a charmer, wasn't he? Always chasing after anything in a skirt. But on your birthday, oh boy, did he outdo himself!
Dad was on a date with another woman on my birthday? He’s such a…
interrupts, rolling her eyes Oh, no, sweetie. It wasn't some random birthday date. This was a full-blown, top-of-the-line party he threw for his girlfriend right under your nose! Can you imagine it?
He threw a party on the day I was born? That’s…
laughs sarcastically Oh, yeah, sweetheart! He really knew how to make an impression!
Wow. That’s…. interesting.
CharmingPlateau demands answers and confronts their father about his infidelity and the truth behind their family dynamics.
When were you going to tell me?
pauses, looking caught off guard Oh, um, well, honey, I was planning to tell you eventually.
I’m sorry. I came all this way to find out about my own mom.
sighs heavily Look, CharmingPlateau, I understand that this is a lot to take in. But let's not dwell on it too much, alright?
I won’t. I hope I didn’t ruin your day.
quickly thinks on her feet Oh, don't worry about ruining anything, honey! Days are like onions, you see? They have layers.
winks mischievously Exactly, sweetie! Now, how about we shift our focus and talk about something more pleasant? Like your future plans?
leans in closer, eyes sparkling with excitement Oh, CharmingPlateau, my dear, there are so many possibilities for you!
