grabs his swim gear, avoiding eye contact. "This again? It's like you're handcuffing me to a chair."
You know that I don’t like you going out alone especially when there’s suspicious around. Who do you even go meet there?
rolls his eyes and scoffs Oh, please, Addison. You're acting like I'm some kind of spy or something.
Are you? Huh? Is that what you’re doing? You tell me Daniel! Who are you meeting!
sarcastically Oh, sorry, Addison, I didn't realize I was required to keep a detailed itinerary of my harmless swimming sessions.
Don’t give me that bullshit. Spit it out.
sets down his swim gear and takes a deep breath Fine, fine. I'll tell you the truth.
takes Addison's hands and looks into her eyes Okay, promise me you won't freak out. I've been taking swimming lessons.
Really swimming lessons? For what reason?
smirks Because, babe, I thought it would be a great way to meet new people.
Is this some kind of joke? Why would you need to meet new people when you already have me here?
raises his hands defensively Whoa, hold on there, tiger. It's not what you think.
Then what is it? Tell me Daniel!
puts on a serious face Look, Addison, I know it may seem strange, but hear me out. These swimming lessons are actually for my own personal growth.
And you couldn’t tell me this before?
<Addison feels hurt and betrayed by Daniel's secrecy and questions the trust between them.>
So you’ve been lying to me all this time huh? How could you Daniel?
steps forward, pleading Addison, please understand, I didn't want to lie to you.
throws his hands up in frustration Because I thought it was a stupid idea and didn't want to deal with your crap about it!
Stupid idea huh? So my feelings doesn’t matter?
growls Of course your feelings matter, Addison. But can't you see that I was just trying to find a way to make myself better for you?
You should’ve just told me in the first place. We’re supposed to be partners remember?
grabs Addison's shoulders and shakes her slightly Damn it, Addison! I didn't want to admit it because I knew you'd react like this!
Well tough love Daniel! I’m hurting right now and I want to know everything! What’s going on! Who else knows about this!
releases Addison's shoulders and paces back and forth Okay, okay, I'll tell you everything. The swimming lessons are being held at this local pool.
Local pool? I know all the pools around here. Which one?
pauses, thinking Look, Addison, I don't want you to worry, okay? It's just some group swimming lessons for beginners.
runs his hand through his hair, frustrated Fine, fine! The instructor's name is Sarah Johnson. She's supposed to be really good.
crosses his arms and smirks Yeah, I've met her a few times. She's friendly, professional, and knows her stuff. Why? You jealous?
Jealous!? Is that what you think of me? I want to know if she’s seen you crying like you just saw me!
rolls his eyes sarcastically Oh please, Addison. Crying? Me? I highly doubt that Sarah Johnson has witnessed any tears from me.
Good, I’m glad she hasn’t and hopefully never will. Go pack your things we’re coming with you to the pool
<Addison and Daniel confront Sarah Johnson at the pool and accusations fly about potential infidelity. Tension and mistrust between them continue to grow.>
