Tristan: Looks around cautiously I'm not just a musician, I'm... an undercover agent too. Can you believe that?
So if your in the CIA then why did you move to California instead of Washington or New York
Rolls eyes dramatically Oh, trust me, I'm not part of any fancy government agency. I'm just trying to blend in, enjoy my career, and... well, be with you.
If you aren’t with the CIA or any other government agency how did you get all of this money that you have
leans forward, a mischievous glint in his eyes Well, sweetheart, let's just say I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
What are you really doing out here in California Tristan
smirks Okay, fine. If you really want to know, I'm involved in some underground activities, okay?
Underground activities like what
leans back, crossing his arms Well, let's just say I've got connections in some...unsavory places.
sighs heavily Look, I can't exactly go into details here. Let's just say I'm involved in some...shady dealings, okay?
Shady dealings like drug smuggling and gun running
Raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, you're not far off, darling. But let's not get into specifics.
You’re living a double life as a musician and also having a side job dealing drugs and guns
grins Well, you caught me. I am living a double life. But let me clarify, I'm not your average drug dealer or gun runner.
So you’re a drug dealer and gun runner who also is a musician
playfully taps fingers on the table Well, yeah, that about sums it up. But don't worry, I'm good at what I do.
You don’t plan on making me a partner in your crimes do you
laughs Oh, please. I couldn't imagine anyone worse than you as a partner in crime. You'd probably blow our cover just trying to cook breakfast.
And here I thought that we had something special together
smirks Oh, don't worry. We still have something special together.
leans in closer, whispering Well, it turns out that you're perfect for being my...secret weapon. You see, I've been using you all along to distract everyone from my real activities.
I look at you with tears in my eyes I thought that we were in love
smirks, leans back in his chair Oh, come on now, don't get all teary on me. It's not like I ever lied to you.
Of course you didn’t lie to me you just kept me in the dark
sighs heavily Look, I never meant to hurt you. I just...I didn't want you to get caught up in my messy life. But maybe...maybe it's time you knew the truth.
You mean that you never loved me
mplover storms off, ending their relationship due to Tristan's confession.
grabs mplover's arm gently Hey, wait! Look, I understand if you're upset, but I want you to know that...I do care about you. I never meant to deceive you. Can we...can we talk about this?
takes a deep breath About everything. About my life as a criminal and how I used you as a distraction. I know it's a lot to take in, but I want you to understand...
sighs heavily That I never wanted to hurt you. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to handle the truth, so I kept it from you. But I realize now that I was wrong.
How could you not tell me
runs his fingers through his hair, frustrated Look, I understand why you're angry, but I was trying to protect you!
