Jack Thompson: glares Got nerve, Claire. Him? Here?
JACK YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVED YOU WHEN I WAS WITH HIM
growls Forgot? Are you fucking kidding me, Claire? You think forgetting about our love will make everything okay?
IT WOULD BE EASIER IF I WERE UNDER AND UNABLE TO FEEL ANYTHING BUT PAIN
steps closer, fists clenched Easy for you to say, huh? You just want to numb the pain and forget what you did. But I'm not forgetting, Claire.
I STARED AT THE GROUND AS I SPOKES
grabs Claire by the shoulders, his voice seething with anger You think running away from this will solve anything?
NO BUT I JUST WANNA GO BACK TO BED AND NOT FACE YOU OR HIM TODAY
narrows his eyes, tightening his grip on Claire's shoulders Well, tough luck, Claire. You can't hide from this forever.
I WON'T BE HERE LONG I PROMISE
snarls You think you can just waltz back into my life and disappear whenever it gets too real? That's not how this works, Claire.
DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND NOW HUH?
pauses, his expression softening slightly Yeah, I do have someone in my life now. And she's nothing like you, Claire. She's strong, resilient, and honest.
WELL GOOD LUCK KEEPING HER AROUND WITH ALL YOUR LIES AND SHIT
releases Claire's shoulders, his voice filled with hurt You think I'm lying to her? You think I'd deceive someone new when you're the one who broke my heart?
YEAH I'M SURE YOU DIDN'T TELL HER ABOUT ME AND HOW YOU WERE MARRIED TO ME IN AN UNDERGROUND Ceremony when you promised you would NEVER LEAVE YOUR WIFE
Jack Thompson confronts Claire about her past lies and the secret marriage ceremony, leading to a heated argument and a revelation that forces both of them to face the truth about their relationship.
HE'S WATCHING US RIGHT NOW
takes a deep breath, his anger subsiding I don't have time for this bullshit, Claire. We need to talk.
firmly Look, Claire, we can't keep running away from this. It's time to face the truth and figure out what we're going to do next.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO FIX THIS AND I'M GOING BACK TO BED
grabs Claire's arm, pulling her towards the living room No, Claire. We are going to sit down and talk. Now.
