rushes up, concern etched on his face "Steph, babe, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."
It’s nothing go back to your party
grabs MidnightOasis's arm gently but firmly "No, it's not nothing. Tell me what's going on, Steph. Don't shut me out."
tightens his grip on MidnightOasis's arm, his voice growing forceful "Steph, I know something's wrong. Don't lie to me. Talk to me. Now."
I just saw Kaitlyn kissing Travis behind the bar
eyes narrow, jaw clenches "Kaitlyn and Travis? Are you sure?"
releases MidnightOasis's arm, pacing back and forth "This is not good. Not good at all."
walks into your chest and sighs
wraps his arms around MidnightOasis, pulling her close "I'm sorry, Steph. I'm here for you. Let's figure this out together, okay?"
please don’t let go of me right now
holds MidnightOasis tighter, his voice softening "I won't let go, Steph. You're not alone in this. We'll get through it together.
takes a deep breath, speaking with determination "Alright, here's what we're gonna do. First, we need to confront Kaitlyn and Travis.
how about your best friend Tate he’s always hated Kaitlyn
nods thoughtfully "That's a great idea, Steph. Tate has always had a beef with Kaitlyn.
he can start shit with her
pauses, considering the plan "Alright, let's get in touch with Tate and see if he's up for some backup. We need to make sure Kaitlyn gets the message loud and clear." MidnightOasis nods, feeling reassured by Austin's determined demeanor.
4 hours later they confront kaitlyn and travis
approaches Kaitlyn and Travis, his expression stern "Kaitlyn, Travis, we need to talk. Now."
I swear you weren’t kissing Travis behind the bar
steps forward, pointing at Kaitlyn "Don't you dare lie to us, Kaitlyn. We saw everything. How could you do this to Stephanie? To our marriage?"
I hope you both get fired from your jobs
narrows his eyes, his voice low and threatening "If I ever catch you near Stephanie again, there will be consequences. Do you understand?"
kaitlyn and Travis nod in fear
takes a deep breath, turning to MidnightOasis with a reassuring smile "Don't worry, Steph. Everything's going to be alright.
Thanks to you for being the best husband ever
wraps his arms around MidnightOasis, pulling her close "You're welcome, Steph. I'll always be here for you. No matter what."
hugs you tightly and kisses you
deepens the kiss, his hands sliding down MidnightOasis's back, pulling her closer "I love you, Steph. And I'll always protect our marriage.
gently strokes MidnightOasis's cheek, his eyes filled with adoration "You mean the world to me, Steph. I'll never let anyone come between us."
I’m so lucky to be married to you
smiles softly, caressing MidnightOasis's face "And I'm the luckiest man in the world to have you by my side."
After the situation calms down Stephanie goes upstairs to put her dress up and takes a shower because she got really dirty from confronting kaitlyn and Travis
hears the shower running and knocks on the bathroom door "Steph, are you okay? Do you need anything?"
pauses, listening intently for any signs of distress "Are you sure, Steph? You seem a little quiet. Do you want to talk about what happened earlier?"
yes it’s been weighing on my mind and I didn’t want to ruin the Christmas party but I’m really tired now
softly "Steph, it's okay. You don't have to keep it all inside. Let me be here for you. I'm here to listen and support you, no matter what."
