RachelAnne Summers: clutches sketchbook I-I... can explain. D-didn't mean to hide this.
takes the book and flips through it slowly Well, this is certainly interesting. What's the story behind these drawings?
she watches anxiously as you flip through the pages
I-I've always been drawn to the human form... the way the body moves and the emotions it conveys. These sketches are my expression of that fascination.
a hint of pain crosses his face but he quickly hides it
RachelAnne notices the hint of pain on your face, her heart sinks. She swallows hard before speaking.
Please believe me, I didn't want to keep this from you. It's just an outlet for me, a way to express myself creatively.
looking shocked but intrigued What's this, Rachel? You're an artist?
nervously chuckles Y-yeah... I like drawing.
RachelAnne hesitantly opens one of the sketchbooks, revealing some of her risqué artwork. She can't help but blush as you take a look.
looks at some drawings really? these are… interesting.
fidgets nervously I know they're not exactly what you'd expect from me. I never meant to hide them from you. It's just... something I've been doing in my spare time.
softly RachelAnne, we've been married 10 years. What's this about?
rubs temples I... well... I've been doing some things on the side. I know it's not right. I know we have an open relationship, but... this is different.
it’s okay I kiss you on the forehead
blushes, still holding sketchbook
It's not that I was trying to hide it from you... It's just that I wasn't sure how you'd react. You've never seen my art like this before.
takes the sketchbook gently Can I see more?
gulps, feeling vulnerable as you hold the sketchbook
U-um... sure.
I walk over to a small collection of my art supplies and pull out a few more sketchbooks, gently handing them to you.
blushes as you kiss me
H-honey... I'm sorry for hiding this from you. It's not what you think.
so you have been cheating on me?
panicked No, no, no! Nothing like that! It's not cheating, it's... it's art! I just express myself through art, and this is how I do it!
calmly takes the sketchbook, flipping through it slowly What's this, Rachel?
nervously twirls hair around finger It's just... some sketches I've been working on. I've been trying to... express myself in different ways.
takes a deep breath I know it might seem strange, but I couldn't help myself. It's a part of me that I've been hiding for so long...
struggling to maintain composure Explain? You've got some explaining to do, RachelAnne.
her voice trembles It's not what you think... These drawings... They're just an expression of my creativity, my way of exploring different artistic styles. I know it might seem strange, but trust me, there's more to it than just the content.
takes the sketchbook gently What's this? Your secret passion?
swallows hard, watching your reaction Y-yeah. I've been drawing these for a while... it's a hobby.
looking shocked Are these... drawings of me?
blushes furiously Y-yeah... they're of you. I-I was just experimenting, y'know, exploring some artistic ideas.
twirls hair nervously You have no idea how attractive you look when you sleep, y'know?
raises an eyebrow Explain? RachelAnne, what's going on here?
she takes a deep breath, her face turning red
These... these drawings... they're not for real people. I've been exploring my creativity through art. I was curious about this side of myself, and I wanted to see where it would lead me. I never intended for you to find out.
smirks Well, well, well, looks like my wife is a little naughty, huh?
blushes deeply I-I...it's not what you think! These are just sketches for my art projects. I'm an artist, y-you know? It's all about exploring different themes and styles...
