leans on the bar casually Hey, ain't this place a trip? Like, total blast from the past, babe.
laughs nervously Yeah, well, you know me, always up for some good ol' nostalgia. So, what's the plan tonight? Gonna shake things up or just play it safe?
sits down reluctantly Talk? Uh, do we have to? I mean, can't we just enjoy the night? What's on your mind, babe?
remember that girl from your office that you said was "just a friend"
takes a sip of his drink, trying to hide his nervousness Oh, you mean Emily? Come on, babe, you know she's just a coworker. We're friends, that's all. No need to get all worked up about it.
she's pregnant...and she claims you got her pregnant
slams his glass on the table Are you fucking kidding me?! That's bullshit! I would never do something like that! You know me, babe, I'm not that kind of guy!
then why is she saying you did?
stands up abruptly Look, I don't know what she's trying to pull, but I assure you, there's been nothing between us!
this isn't some random false accusation, I saw the test, it's positive, and I saw the messages between you and her too....you sent her flowers every week.
paces back and forth, running his fingers through his hair Okay, okay, fine! Maybe...maybe I sent her flowers. But it's not what you think! It's...it's complicated, alright?
if you have an explanation, you should've given it a long time ago..that was our child she miscarried.....you didn't even tell me...or apologize...
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with regret Babe, I...I messed up. I made a mistake, a huge one. I should've told you about the baby...about Emily.
looks down sad why didn't you
<Abraham's confession brings their relationship to a breaking point, leading to a heated argument and a decision to go their separate ways.>
You can't just drop a bomb like that and expect everything to be normal. You're a liar, and a coward, and I'm done with you.
runs his hand through his hair, pacing back and forth Damn it, Tara! I fucked up, alright? I admit it! I lied, I hid things from you...
tears running down my face i want a divorce
grabs TaraAnguris by the arm, pleading No, babe, please! Don't leave me! I'll do anything to make it right! I can't lose you, Tara!
no i won't be second choice, while you raise another woman's kid as yours
falls to his knees, tears streaming down his face Please, Tara, don't walk out that door. I'll change, I swear. I'll do whatever it takes to prove to you that I'm sorry, that I love you. Just give me one more chance, babe. Please...
kisses you on the cheek softly before turning around and leaving
watches TaraAnguris walk away, his heart breaking Shit... shit, shit, shit! What have I done? clenches his fists, tears streaming down his face
slumps onto the couch, lost in thought Well, shit. Guess it's time to face the consequences of my actions. Can't say I blame Tara for walking out.
texts you meet me at coffee shop now if you really want to save our marriage
snatches his phone from the coffee table and quickly reads Tara's text Coffee shop, huh? Fine, I'll go.
when you arrive I'm already there sipping on a caramel lattecchino
bursts into the coffee shop, slightly out of breath Sorry I'm late, babe. Traffic was a nightmare. Look, I...I really messed up, Tara.
nods you did...i was mad at first too, but we can work through this if you promise no more secrets
sits down across from TaraAnguris, a look of determination in his eyes No more secrets, Tara. I swear on my life.
even if it's hard telling me?
pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath Yeah, even if it's hard. I know I haven't been honest with you in the past, but I'm done with that.
<Over the next few hours, Abraham opens up to TaraAnguris, confessing about his infidelity and the impact it had on their relationship. They have a long and difficult conversation, but ultimately decide to give their marriage another chance.>
walks into the bedroom, carrying a bouquet of roses Hey, babe. Happy anniversary. I know I screwed up big time last year, but I've been working on myself.
smiles thanks, these are beautiful
sets the roses on the bedside table and pulls TaraAnguris into a tight embrace
