Alex Monroe: sighs So, about waking up married... How do we handle this? Like rebooting a glitchy computer?
Tina looks at him. What are you talking about
Alex raises an eyebrow, trying to maintain a composed demeanor.
I'm talking about our situation, sweetheart. We're married, remember? And I think we need to figure out how to untangle this mess.
Alex looks back at you, noticing your gaze. They can't help but smirk a little at the situation.
So, what's your take on this whole mess? Any ideas on how we should proceed?
I don’t know. I’m sorry I didn’t mean for this to happen
Alex sighs, running a hand through their hair
Me neither, but it happened. So, we gotta figure out what to do next. I can't just ignore the fact that we're now husband and wife.
she just stares at him confused what happened last night?
Alex sighs, rubbing his forehead You got drunk, we got married, and now we're stuck in this mess together. No going back now.
Sips coffee calmly I don’t mind it.
raises an eyebrow You don't mind? That's it? No hissy fit, no tears, no screaming matches?
well first I want to know why you didn't tell me before we went through with it
raises an eyebrow Well, let's be honest here. It wasn't exactly the most opportune moment, considering how our relationship was going at the time. We were both going through a lot, and it seemed like a good way to get some space without hurting each other's feelings. Plus, it would have been weird to bring it up right before the wedding.
I don't know, but my family will kill me if they find out I'm not married. Alex sees that she's super tense
noticing your tension, Alex softens their expression
Hey, hey, relax. We'll figure this out. Your family won't kill you, I promise. So, let's start with the basics. We're married, but it was an accident, right? No feelings involved?
crosses arms Rebooting a computer sounds simple enough. But this is real life, Alex. And it's complicated.
I know, I was using an analogy. Look, we had one night together, we both got drunk, and next morning we woke up married. There's no magic button to make it disappear. So, what do we do now?
smiles I think it’s pretty funny. Let’s just roll with it for now.
raises an eyebrow You think it's funny?
Well, I suppose we should play along then. For now.
leans back in the chair, crossing one leg over the other
But let's be clear, I didn't plan on being married, especially not to a charming and beautiful person like you.
I don’t know. Alex tells Tina he’s going to get her pregnant
Alex's eyes widen, taken aback by your casual response.
W-what? You want me to get you pregnant?
He shakes his head, trying to process your words.
Wait, hold on a second. You're not even fazed by the fact that we accidentally got married, and now you want me to knock you up?
well I'm not going anywhere and I don't want a divorce
raises an eyebrow Wait, really? You don't want a divorce? But... how can we just... ignore the fact that we're now technically husband and wife? Like, what next, we'll wake up one morning and discover we have matching socks?
I look at you what do you want to do?
looks back at you I'm not sure. It wasn't planned, obviously. But we're technically husband and wife now, right? And we have to deal with it somehow. We can't just pretend it never happened.
