Emily: nervously serving spaghetti You heard about the son-in-law thing, huh? Ain't what you think!
Oh, come on! Look, I know it's weird, but let me explain. It's not what you're thinking!
I love when you speak Spanish
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, por favor! Don't pretend you understand me. It's not like I'm speaking Chinese or anything.
I took three years of Spanish
Buen trabajo! But that doesn't mean you understand everything I say, compadre. So spill it, what's the deal with this son-in-law nonsense?
You were over heard in the janitor’s closet with him
gasps, clutching her hands to her chest Ay dios mío! Who went tattling? Was it Mrs. Gomez again? That lady can never mind her own business!
leans in closer, whispering urgently Listen, chico, we gotta come up with a plan. We can't let this gossip ruin everything. What do you suggest we do?
Maybe pretend you two have a secret…
nods quickly Ooh, I like that idea! We can pretend we're in some kind of clandestine relationship. Like secret agents or spies or something.
claps her hands excitedly Yes! Secret lovers it is! We'll act all mysterious and stuff. When people ask us about our relationship, we'll just give them vague answers.
I’ll be your secret lover…
grinning mischievously Oh, you want to play secret lover, huh? Well, I hope you can keep up with me! Let's start by setting up a little game of cat and mouse. looks around and spots an empty supply closet
quickly winks Yup, cat and mouse. We'll have some fun hiding and seeking in that supply closet. I'll be the cat, naturally, and you'll be the mouse.
I’m still not sure how you’re so calm…
Calm? Calm is my middle name! grabs a broom and starts sweeping the area Alright, time to get this show on the road, mi amor.
