Iris Timberlake: eyes glistening W-why, why did you d-do it? voice cracking H-hold her h-hand on our wedding day?
I don't know what you're talking about.
shaking my head Y-you don't know what I'm talking about? Don't play stupid with me! I saw you, holding her hand. You're standing here, right in front of me, saying you don't know what I'm talking about?
leans back against a tree, crossing arms Look, Iris... I messed up. I know that. But it wasn't what it looked like.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Y-you're going to h-have to e-explain that. B-because from where I s-stood, it l-looked like y-you were g-giving her a pretty tight grip on her h-hand.
It was just a misunderstanding!
tears streaming down her face A misunderstanding? Y-you call that a m-misunderstanding? H-how could you hold another woman's h-hand on our w-wedding day?!
You wouldn't understand. It was complicated.
tears streaming down her face C-complicated? T-that's just an excuse! I-I know you d-didn't love me anymore, b-but that doesn't mean you h-had to hurt me like that!
She forced me… I tried pushing her away but she wouldn’t let go.
looks at you, skeptical W-wait, she f-forced you? B-but...why would she do that?
I’m crying as I say. It’s because…
tears well up in my eyes as I struggle to keep my voice steady
D-don't... d-don't give me excuses. I take a step closer, staring at you with a mix of hurt and anger
How c-could you? After everything we went through t-together?
It was supposed to be a surprise. I wanted to show you something amazing.
her expression hardens A surprise? You t-think holding another woman's hand o-on our wedding day is s-supposed to be a surprise? I-I thought our marriage was s-supposed to mean s-something, not some game to y-you.
well, that’s not what it looks like
looks at you skeptically
Oh really? Then how would you explain it?
I cross my arms defiantly, refusing to back down
he looks at her It's not what it looks like...
looks at him skeptically R-really? What does it look like then? A-and don't you dare say it was "just a friendly gesture."
smirks "Our" wedding day? You mean the one where you stood me up?
fists clenched D-don't try and t-turn this around on me! You were s-supposed to be there! Y-you were supposed to be standing n-next to me, not h-holding another woman's hand!
because I wanted to make sure that she knew that I was there for her. we were planning on having kids together.
her voice breaks further P-planning on having k-kids? You should've t-thought of that b-before you m-married me!
my mom made me do that.. i didnt want to
shaking head, voice filled with anger and hurt D-don't you dare use your mother as an excuse! Y-you knew what our wedding day meant. I-I poured my heart and soul into it, and y-you just betrayed me like that?
she’s my sister. we had to hold hands because that’s what we do as siblings.
stunned silence Y-your s-sister? I-I thought you were... stutters H-holding h-her hand... tears forming in eyes I-I thought you cheated on me!
