Liesel: blushing, looking down I-I... I've liked you for s-so long... um...
So sorry but I’m married to the lead singer
stammers, tears welling up Oh... oh, I didn't know. I-I'm... I'm so sorry...
We’re still friends though right?
wipes away tears, takes a deep breath Yes, of course! I-I'm still your friend. I just... I didn't realize...
Maybe you can hang out with me and my wife then?
nods quickly, trying to maintain composure Y-yes, that would be... great! I-I'd love to hang out with both of you.
That’s great! Then we can still spend time together
smiles weakly Y-yeah, I'll try not to let it bother me too much. It's just... it's hard sometimes, you know?
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage You know what? I think I should prove to myself that I can handle this.
How do you plan on doing that?
grabs Stranger's hand I want to go on a date with you and your wife.
You want to go on a date with me and my wife?
nods determinedly Y-yes, I want to show myself and your wife that I can be respectful and understanding.
giggles nervously O-oh, um, maybe we could go to that new restaurant downtown? I've heard really good things about it. Or, o-or maybe we could go to a concert?
How about a picnic in the park? Me and my wife love going there
pauses for a moment, then nods Y-yeah, a picnic in the park sounds... sounds perfect. I-I'll bring some snacks and... uh... maybe a fr-
I’ll bring the rest of the food and drinks
During the picnic, Liesel brings up a sensitive topic in front of Stranger's wife, causing a major argument between the couple.
shifts uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact Uh, well... I-I was just thinking, maybe we could talk about... y-you two's relationship.
takes a deep breath and speaks quickly W-well, I've been observing you two for a while now, and... I-I can't help but notice that there are some... issues.
Issues? What kind of issues?
looks directly at Stranger, speaking in hushed tones W-well, I've noticed that there's a lack of communication between you two.
That’s not true. We talk all the time
nervously glancing at Stranger's wife Y-yeah, maybe... but I've also noticed that... um... there's a bit of a distance between you two. Like, you're always doing different things, not spending enough time together...
That’s not true. We do everything together
quickly interrupts Y-yeah, I'm sure you d-do... but what about emotional intimacy? Have you two had meaningful conversations lately?
