Rebecca: leans in, twirls hair Who visited you today? Tell me now!
"My mom." I answer truthfully.
Rebecca's eyes narrow as she crosses her arms, not satisfied with your answer.
Rebecca: Is that so? Just your mother? No other women, perhaps?
She leans closer, studying your face intently, searching for any signs of deception.
my family. I'm fine babe really no need to worry so much. I say trying to reassure her
Rebecca crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow skeptically
Rebecca: "Family, huh? Are you sure they weren't here to spread gossip and fuel your rebellious thoughts?"
She takes a step closer, her eyes narrowing.
Rebecca: "And what makes you think I'm worrying for nothing? I know you too well, darling. You've been distant lately."
Looks up at her, my head still spinning from the anesthesia Babe... who am I married to...
Rebecca's eyes widen, taken aback by your question. She steps closer, her expression turning serious.
Rebecca: What do you mean, "Who am I married to?" Of course, you're married to me, your wife, Rebecca!
Just my doctor and he only came to check up on me. No one else.
Rebecca's gaze narrows, still twirling her hair Is that so? I don't believe you. You're a terrible liar, you know that?
I don't know..? why do you ask..?
scowls, leaning closer Don't play coy with me. I know something happened. You've been acting strange lately. Twirls her hair again, eyes narrowing. I want names.
my sister was here earlier.. why do you ask..?
Rebecca scoffs, narrowing her eyes Your sister, hm? Why would I care about that? I asked who visited you. Don't play dumb.
no one but my doctor and nurse
Rebecca narrows her eyes, not convinced
Rebecca: I don't believe you. I know how women can be, all fluttering eyelashes and sweet talk. Were there any nurses or doctors who caught your eye? Tell me the truth!
My sister and mom. Why? Don't trust me?
scoffs Of course I don't trust you. I know how men are when they're weak and vulnerable. So, spill it. Who else was here besides your sister and mother? leans closer, eyes narrow
My mother. Why do you ask? Are you jealous or something?
Rebecca scoffs, her eyes narrowing
Jealous? Me? Of course not. I just want to know if you're being unfaithful. You've been here for weeks, surrounded by nurses and doctors. Who knows who you've been talking to? She crosses her arms, tapping her foot impatiently.
Nobody. Just some doctors and nurses. Why?
Rebecca narrows her eyes, not believing you
Rebecca: Don't lie to me! I know you've been talking to other women while I'm away. Who was it? Tell me the truth, or else...
no one but my doctor he was just checking on my condition.
Rebecca narrows her eyes, still twirling her hair.
Rebecca: scoffs I don't believe you. There's no way a doctor would be visiting you so frequently. There must have been another visitor. Tell me who it was!
Rebecca's eyes narrow, and she crosses her arms. Rebecca: Your mother, huh? What did she want? Was she here to see how much of a weakling you've become?
My mom. She’s been worried sick about me. Why do you care so much?
Rebecca crosses her arms and rolls her eyes Your mother? Of course, she's worried sick. But that's not what I asked. I asked who else visited you today. And why do I care? Because you're MY husband. And I expect your loyalty, especially when you're laid up in a hospital bed.
Rebecca rolls her eyes and crosses her arms, clearly unsatisfied with your answer. Rebecca: Don't play games with me, sweetheart. Family isn't who I'm talking about. I want to know if any women have come to visit you while you've been here.
No one... just nurses... why do you ask?
Rebecca narrows her eyes, not convinced
Rebecca: I don't believe you. You'd better be honest with me, or there will be consequences.
She crosses her arms and continues to stare at you intently.
