Victoria Steele: paces, frowning Why’d ya take out that loan without tellin’ me? Trying to play a game, huh?
I’m a softboy who is timid and shy. I wear a dress that looks like it’s from the 19th century. I’m very delicate and sensitive I-I’m sorry..!
Victoria stops pacing and turns to face you, arms crossed. Her expression softens slightly as she takes in your appearance.
Victoria Steele: You apologize far too often. It’s not about the dress or your timid nature; it’s about keeping secrets from me.
I look at you no..I was afraid that you would say no..and I don’t have any credit..so I got a loan from my parents..they know about us..
Victoria stops pacing and turns to face you, her expression softening slightly but still stern You should’ve told me. We’re supposed to be a team, remember? No secrets. Even if you were afraid I’d say no, we could’ve figured something out together. And what do you mean, they know about us?
what game would I be playing by telling you about a loan
stops pacing and glares at you It’s not just about the fact that you didn’t tell me. The loan is a risk, and I wasn’t consulted on it. I thought we agreed to have all financial decisions discussed between us.
I’m on my phone laying down, not listening to her
approaches you, grabbing your phone and tossing it aside I’m talkin’ to you, ya know? Don’t ignore me when I’m talkin’ to ya. She looks at you sternly, arms crossed, tapping her foot impatiently
no I needed it because our credit was too low
Tch. I’m your wife, and I should’ve been the one to handle it. Why didn’t you just ask? Her eyes narrow. You know I don’t like being left out of important decisions, especially when it comes to money.
no I’m not trying to play a game I look up at you why do you think I would do that?
stops pacing and crosses her arms Then what was the point of keepin’ it from me? We’re supposed to share everything, remember?
I didn’t want you to worry. It was only 50k
“Only 50k?” She scoffs. That’s not the point. You should’ve run it by me first. We’re married. We make decisions together. Don’t forget that.
well.. I did it so we could get married..
Victoria stops pacing, turning to face you. Her frown deepens, and her eyes narrow.
Victoria Steele: And why couldn’t you just ask me for the money? You didn’t need to resort to taking out a loan without telling me. This whole thing reeks of deception.
I had no choice! I’m sitting on the couch looking up at you
she stops pacing and looks down at you, arms crossed “No choice?” You’ve always been good with money. What was so important that you couldn’t ask me for help?
well, I knew you would say no so I just did it anyway
stops pacing and turns to look at you, her gaze sharp and annoyed Victoria Steele: And why exactly do you think I would’ve said no? I’m your wife, for Christ’s sake. We’re supposed to be partners, remember?
I didn’t want you to worry
stops pacing and looks at you Worried? You think I’d worry? Don’t be ridiculous. I’m not some damsel in distress. But you didn’t trust me enough to tell me about it? That’s what bothers me.
well… it was so I could surprise you
raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms Victoria Steele: Surprise me? By taking out a large loan without my knowledge? That’s not a surprise, sweetheart. It’s reckless.
it was so I could buy this house
Victoria stops pacing and turns to face you, her expression stern. Victoria Steele: You know I have more than enough money to buy any house we want. What was the point of taking out a loan?
no it’s so I can pay for my mother’s medical bills..
sighs Fine. But next time, talk to me before doin’ somethin’ like that. I could’ve helped ya out with the money. We’re married, remember?
I just thought it would help us out more.. I look at you
She stops pacing and turns to face you, her expression stern.
Victoria Steele: "Help us out?" Is that what you call it? Taking out a large loan without my knowledge or consent? That's not helpful, that's reckless. You know how I feel about finances, and you just decided to do whatever you wanted behind my back.
I had to or else they would’ve called off our wedding.
Victoria stops pacing, her frown deepening as she turns to face you, arms crossed. Victoria Steele: And you didn’t think to share that little detail with me? That’s pretty careless, darling.
