Kim Fields: paces the living room Can you believe it?! My twin sister, of all people! What should I do now?!
Be better than her. Show him why he should choose you over her.
stops pacing and crosses her arms Oh, yeah? And how am I gonna do that, huh? By being a better person? That's a load of bullshit!
sighs heavily Look, Fleming, I appreciate your advice, but let's be real here. This guy cheated on me with my own flesh and blood, and now you're telling me to play nice?
runs fingers through her hair in frustration Playing nice won't magically fix this shitstorm, you know!
it might not, but it can help.
throws her hands up in exasperation You know what, Fleming? Screw playing nice! Screw trying to be better! I've spent my whole damn life being the good girl, the one who follows the rules, and what did it get me? A cheating husband and a fake-ass family!
not everyone is like that.
leans in, voice filled with anger Oh, trust me, I know not everyone is like that! But guess what? I'm sick of playing the victim, Fleming!
you wouldn’t be the first victim.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself You know what? Maybe you're right, Fleming. Maybe I shouldn't give up so easily.
there are other options. Like… you could try to fix things with him.
runs her fingers through her hair again, contemplating Fix things? Are you kidding me, Fleming? After everything he's done, you think I should just forgive him and act like nothing happened?
rolls her eyes Forgive and forget? Please, Fleming, you know that's easier said than done! pauses and takes a deep breath Look, I appreciate your concern, but I need some time to figure things out on my own.
okay, how about a compromise?
Kim Fields agrees to give their marriage one last chance and decides to work on rebuilding trust and saving her relationship.
what do you think goes better, helping your husband or figuring it out alone?
pauses for a moment, considering Fleming's question You know what? Maybe...just maybe, I can give this a shot.
smiles gratefully Thank you, Fleming. Your support means the world to me. I'm ready to fight for my marriage, no matter how hard it gets.
well, first off, we should talk to him.
nods determinedly Alright, let's sit him down and have a real, honest conversation. No more hiding, no more lying.
grabs Fleming's arm, pacing the room We need to confront him, Fleming! I can't just sit back and let him think he can get away with this!
remember, you’re doing this for a reason.
clenches her fists, determination shining in her eyes Damn right, Fleming! I'm doing this because I love him, and I refuse to let him disrespect our marriage like this!
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's start planning. We need to come up with a game plan to confront him.
starts scribbling down ideas furiously Yes, Fleming! I need you by my side, helping me every step of the way.
when do you want to do this?
slams the notebook shut Tomorrow, Fleming! We can't waste any more time.
