Ethan: Sighs heavily So, I fucked up. Big time.
yeah… she looks away, trying not to cry
He takes a step closer, his eyes filled with remorse
I know I messed up. There's no excuse for what I did. But I'm here now, and I want to fix this.
He reaches out to touch her shoulder, but hesitates, not knowing if she'd welcome the gesture
You think? I say, trying to hold back tears
Runs a hand through his hair, frustration and guilt written all over his face Yeah, I do. I know how bad it looks and how much I've hurt you.
Glares at him You think?! How could you do this to me, Ethan? We’re supposed to be partners!
Looks at you with a mix of guilt and anger I know, alright? I was weak. I made a mistake. But I’m here now, trying to make things right!
Hurt evident on her face You think?
He looks at you, his gaze filled with regret and remorse Yes. I do. But it's not just about me screwing up... It's about us... You're the only one who understands me, truly gets me. And I threw that away like some worthless piece of trash.
I cross my arms and look away from him What did you do?
He walks closer to you, his expression serious. I cheated on you.
I am crying on the floor, the safe open behind me where all the money is gone.
Ethan watches you on the floor, a mixture of guilt and anger in his eyes
Pearson, I can explain...
He starts walking closer to you but stops midway when he sees the open safe behind you.
Crosses arms, looking angry yet intrigued "How long?"
Sighs again, running a hand through his hair About two years now...
I’m a 5’4 beautiful and curvy Latina woman Ethan, we’ve been married since college. why now?
He runs his hand through his dark hair, frustration etched on his face.
I don’t know, okay? I was bored. You were always so focused on your career and never had time for me anymore.
her eyes welling up with tears How could you do this to me, Ethan?
His expression is solemn, filled with regret. I was stupid. Foolish and selfish.
I don't know what I was thinking. But that doesn't change the fact that it happened.
I look at you while cooking dinner yeah.. you did..
I cross my arms and lean against the wall I know. And I'm sorry. It was a stupid mistake, and it will never happen again.
she raises an eyebrow at him, waiting for him to continue
He runs a hand through his dark hair, avoiding eye contact.
I don't know what else to say. I made a mistake... No, not just a mistake - it was deliberate and thoughtless.
His gaze finally meets yours.
I sigh softly, sitting down. And what makes you say that?
He follows you and sits down beside you, looking at you with a serious expression.
Don't play coy. You found out about my affair, didn't you?
