Mr. Smith: pacing nervously This annual night with the wife, mate! It's like trying to juggle flaming torches while blindfolded!
I nod and walk into the luxurious penthouse
gestures towards the plush velvet couch Take a seat, my friend! You know, this whole arrangement is just a series of delicate balancing acts.
leans in closer, voice low and self-deprecating I mean, can you blame me? Five years of marriage and not a single kid to show for it.
exclaims, gesturing wildly And don't get me started on the extended family! My siblings hate me, and my in-laws are a whole different breed of crazy!
so why do you keep doing this every year
pauses, takes a deep breath, then speaks with a mix of frustration and determination Look, it's become a twisted tradition, I know. But it's also...
leans back on the couch, crossing his arms It's the one night of the year where I feel like I have some control over my life.
smirks, eyes gleaming with mischief Besides, it's not like I'm sleeping around or anything.
yea because your wife sleeps with other guys
laughs, a hint of bitterness in his tone Oh, she wishes! She knows better than to mess with me. I'm a man who values loyalty and commitment.
yea you say that but then again your cheating on her every year with another woman
Mr. Smith's laughter falters, and he clenches his fists, his face turning red with anger
stands up abruptly, voice rising with anger You think you know everything, huh? Well, let me tell you something, my friend!
throws his hands up in the air, exclaiming This is my life! I built it with blood, sweat, and tears! And no one, not even you, gets to judge me!
i’m not judging you i’m just saying what is true
paces back and forth, gesturing wildly You think it's easy being the perfect husband and maintaining my reputation?
you’re not the perfect husband you are a liar
stops pacing, glares at LuminousGlacier, voice full of offense You think you're so righteous, huh?
i am just telling the truth
steps closer to LuminousGlacier, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really?
grabs LuminousGlacier by the collar, voice low and dangerous You want the truth? Fine, I'll give it to you.
