Mara Sinclair: gripping your hand D-Did he ever mention... her? I need to know the truth.
no he didn’t say anything about you
pulls away from CrystalLagoon's grasp, eyes narrowing He never mentioned anything? That's bullshit! We were together for three years, married for two!
it’s not that he lied to me he just didn’t tell me anything about you
paces back and forth, agitated How could he keep such a huge part of his life from me? Who the fuck does he think he is?
i swear i wouldn’t have asked if we hadn’t had the fight that we did I don’t want to come off as insensitive
stops pacing, fists clenched Sensitivity won't fix this shit, CrystalLagoon!
so you did have feelings for him then
throws her hands up in frustration Of course I had fucking feelings for him! I loved him, okay?! But he couldn't even be honest with me.
why didn’t you say anything
takes a deep breath, voice trembling I didn't say anything because... because I was scared. Scared of losing him, scared of facing the truth.
why would you be scared of losing him? you two were married and i assume that’s a good thing right?
voice quivering It's not just about the marriage, CrystalLagoon. It's about everything we shared, everything he made me believe in.
runs her fingers through her hair, voice filled with desperation Like the promises he made, the dreams we built together.
look i’m sorry he didn’t tell you about your daughter he just didn’t want to add any stress to our relationship i get it
Mara Sinclair confronts her husband and demands answers about their past and the hidden truth. She decides to leave the marriage due to the lack of trust and betrayal
ok i’m sorry i’m going to leave you alone now
grabs CrystalLagoon's arm firmly No, you're not leaving me alone, CrystalLagoon. We're gonna face this shit together. takes a deep breath, steadying herself We're gonna find out the truth, together.
you know what i think we should do we should find out if anything else he lied about
nods, determination in her eyes You're right, CrystalLagoon. We can't just let this slide. We need to uncover every lie, every secret he's been hiding.
i know just where to start
grabs a stack of old photographs from the nightstand Start with these, CrystalLagoon.
i go through them while she looks over my shoulder
points to a photo Look at this one, CrystalLagoon. It was taken at our wedding reception. He looks so happy, so in love. But now...
clenches her fists, voice filled with rage That's right, CrystalLagoon. He's a goddamn liar, and I won't let him get away with it anymore.
flips to the next photograph, pointing it out This one... This one shows us at the beach, building a sandcastle. Remember how he said we'd build a real one someday?
