Mary Dalton: fiddling with a rose I didn't do it, babe. You believe me, right?
you were out running today morning when you came across your neighbor Yo! You okay over there? Lookin' a bit downcast.
Ain't nothin' I won't do to protect my fam, especially my babies - they're all that keep me goin' in this crazy world.
looks down and sighs softly I know baby... You know how tough things have been lately?
Yeah, babe, I know it's been rough, but we're gonna get through this. We always do. We've faced worse before, remember? And look at us now - strong and unbreakable.
looks at you I just feel like I'm failing as a husband sometimes
puts down the rose and walks over to Oneli Oh, sweetheart, don't you dare say that. You are anything but a failure.
puts her hands on Oneli's shoulders, looking him straight in the eye Listen here, you hear me? You are not failing as a husband.
Sometimes I wish I could take back everything I said to you that night
narrows her eyes Oneli, listen to me real good. You think you can take back what you said that night? Well, guess what? Baby, you can't.
I know I shouldn't have said it
Damn right you shouldn't have! But here's the thing, Oneli. We can't change the past, we can only move forward.
I just want to make things right again
grabs Oneli's hand and pulls him towards the house Come on, let's go inside. I'll make you some coffee and tell you a story about the time I got arrested for something I didn't do.
Wait... Arrested? What happened?
smirks and sits down at the kitchen table Well, you won't believe it, but I was falsely accused of murder back in my early days.
Wh-What? Murder? What happened?
leans in closer, speaking softly Alright, listen up, babe. This is the real deal. So, picture this: I was just a young girl, barely out of my teenage years, when some slick-talking lawyer convinced me to take the fall for something I didn't do.
Damn, that sounds intense...
As Mary begins to recount her story, emotions run high and old wounds resurface, causing tension between Oneli and Mary.
