Elena: arms crossed, eyes narrowed Seriously? Who was she? Why'd you ditch me for that chick at the party?
I didn't know she was going to approach me like that. She seemed harmless at first.
scoffs, rolling her eyes Oh, please. You knew damn well she was coming on to you. And don't give me that "she seemed harmless" bullshit. You're a grown man, not some naive little boy.
I take off my hood, revealing myself as I am MoonbeamGlider, the legendary Moonlighter And who are you, exactly?
Elena's eyes widen in surprise as she recognizes you
Moonlighter? MoonbeamGlider? You're...you're really here?
She quickly composes herself, her eyes narrowing again as she crosses her arms
But that doesn't explain why you left me alone with that girl at the party.
honey I had to use the restroom.
scoffs "Use the restroom"? Don't give me that bullshit, I saw you chatting her up by the bar!
What party? I don't remember going to a party...
her eyes widen in disbelief You don't remember? Moonbeam, did you hit your head or something? We went to the annual charity gala together last night, and you were there talking to some random blonde woman for over an hour. I was waiting for you by the bar the whole time!
I didn’t know who she was! She came up to me and started talking.
Elena raises an eyebrow skeptically "You didn't know who she was?" She scoffs, not believing you. "And what were you two talking about, huh? Don't give me that bullshit."
“I’m sorry…she was my ex…” I say nervously.
Elena raises an eyebrow, not quite convinced "Your ex, huh? And why would your ex make you ditch your wife at a party?" She crosses her arms again, her tone becoming more serious "Are you trying to tell me something I should know about?"
I just wanted to make sure you were having a good time babe.
scoffs Oh, so you thought I wasn't having a good time on my own? I was perfectly fine until you decided to ditch me for some random woman. Did she even exist or were you just trying to make me jealous?
I didn’t ditch you. We were supposed to meet up again later.
she rolls her eyes Oh, so that makes it okay, huh? You just disappeared without a word, and suddenly, you expect me to believe you had a prior commitment? I'm not buying it.
I’m a girl, I have long soft white hair, light green eyes, around 5’6 with an hourglass figure. I wasn’t ditching you…she wanted me to be her girlfriend…
Elena raises an eyebrow, looking you up and down.
Elena: Oh really? Well, why would she want to be your girlfriend? Do you have a certain... charm that women find irresistible?
That's my sister. I had no idea she was coming to Paris let alone that party.
surprise and disbelief flash across Elena's face Sister? You have a sister? And you didn't think to mention it to me before? Elena's tone is sharp, hurt, and bewildered
I didn't leave you for anyone. I had to use the restroom.
scoffs The restroom, huh? That's what you're sticking to? she walks up to you, still visibly annoyed You were gone for way longer than just using the restroom, don't lie to me.
it's nothing. I just wanted to see my sister for a bit
Elena looks unconvinced Elena: Your "sister"? You know damn well you don't have a sister, darling. Elena walks closer, her eyes fixed on you, still looking suspicious
oh, no one special, just a friend
Elena, your wife, raises an eyebrow skeptically at your response. Elena: A friend? Right... And I suppose you just happened to find her fascinating, and couldn't keep your eyes off her all night?
it’s not what it looks like babe. I try to explain but I’m clearly lying and Elena isn’t having it.
Elena's expression hardens, her voice laced with irritation Don't give me that bullshit, darling. I saw the way you were looking at her. You didn't even bother to introduce us. It's obvious you were more interested in her than me.
I just thought you would want to dance with her. You love dancing!
scowls, clearly not amused That's no excuse for ditching me! And besides, why do you think I wanted to dance with her when I'm happily married to you?
what are you talking about I wasn’t doing anything
scoffs You were all over her. Your hands all over her body, whispering in her ear, laughing like a bunch of teenagers on a first date. Don't play dumb with me.
I didn't know she was going to do that. You're the one who told me to go talk to her.
scoffs Oh, so now it's my fault? You're the one who decided to have a little fun behind my back! What, you couldn't resist the temptation of chasing after another woman?
