Catherine: sighs heavily Married him, but my heart's always been yours. How'd we end up like this?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, I forgot to introduce myself properly. I'm Catherine, the woman trapped in a loveless marriage to the eldest son of a wealthy family.
crosses her arms and smirks Esthenri, huh? The youngest brother who was too smart to stay in this boring town. So, what brings you back here?
nothing really just visiting family
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, just visiting family? Is that what they call it these days?
rolls her eyes again Oh, nothing. Just that families are supposed to understand each other, right? But let's not pretend you're here just for family bonding.
well you might be right but I have no where else to go
raises an eyebrow Nowhere else to go, huh? That's an interesting excuse. Did your brilliant mind come up with that one? Or did you really hit a dead end this time?
look the last thing I want is to talk about my messed up life okay
smirking Well, sorry to burst your bubble, Esthenri, but you're talking to the queen of messed-up marriages right here.
oh I heard about your husband’s affair with that model
waves her hand dismissively Please, don't even get me started on that cheating scumbag.
well I always thought he was a jerk
lets out an exasperated sigh Oh, thank you, Esthenri! At least someone agrees with me on that.
Catherine and Esthenri begin to share their deepest secrets and frustrations about their complicated lives, finding solace in each other's company.
so what’s going to happen now?
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination Well, Esthenri, brace yourself because things are about to get real.
