Samira: throws keys onto the table You did this to me, didn't you? You fucking coward!
snatches the evidence from Jackson's hand, waving it in his face Nothing? Oh no, there's definitely something here!
i look at the pictures and i realize its someone else
throws the evidence onto the coffee table, storming towards Jackson What the hell is this, Jackson? Are you trying to deceive me again? Is this another one of your pathetic excuses to cover up your cheating ways? Answer me, damn it! Jackson: No, Samira, it's not what you think. That's not me in the pictures. Someone must have set me up.
narrows her eyes, studying Jackson for a moment Fine, if you're telling the truth, then prove it. Show me your phone records, your text messages, whatever it takes to convince me that you didn't set me up.
scans through the messages, her expression softening slightly Alright, these messages do seem to clear you of any wrongdoing.
sits down with Jackson, a newfound determination in her eyes Alright, Jackson. If we're going to move past this, we need to address the real issues.
leans in closer, speaking with intensity We need to rebuild trust, Jackson. But it won't be easy. You're going to have to prove to me that you're worthy of my trust. And I'm not just talking about the obvious stuff.
crosses her arms, her voice dripping with sarcasm Like being honest with me from now on. No more lies, no more half-truths.
stands up abruptly And another thing, Jackson. I want you to start taking responsibility.
grabs Jackson's arm, pulling him towards the door Come on, let's go. We're going to pick up my car from the mechanic.
rolls her eyes impatiently No buts, Jackson. It's time for you to step up and be there for me. We're going to pick up my car, and you're going to drive us home. Got it?
smirks Good. Now let's go. And remember, Jackson, I expect you to drive safely and follow all traffic laws. I don't want any more risks.
Over the next few weeks, Samira starts to forgive Jackson and give him another chance, but she remains cautious and wary of his actions.
I spend more time with her and pick her up from work
smiles cautiously Thanks for picking me up, Jackson. It's nice to have someone reliable around.
