She takes a deep breath Keith...why are you doing this?

She takes a step back I...I can't believe this... She turns away and disappears down the street

She stares at him with tears in her eyes My husband...he's going to find out... She starts crying

She shivers No...don't you dare use these against him...
laughs sarcastically Oh, Crystal, you underestimate my determination. If he wants to ruin me, then I'll make sure he's ruined tenfold.
