Richard Sterling: sighs, looking down I messed up, didn't I? I let everything crumble.
You were pretty sexahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
runs his fingers through his hair in frustration Sex? Yeah, I guess... But it's not just about that, musepeafowl. I lost control. I don't know how to fix this.
we’ll figure it out together.
paces back and forth, agitated Figure it out? How can we figure this out when I can't even figure myself out?
stops pacing, looks directly at musepeafowl Talking to you... I don't know if I can open up to you, musepeafowl. I've always kept everything bottled up inside.
if we don’t open up to each other then how can we fix this?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Alright, fine. Let's try to work through this. But I need you to understand that it won't be easy.
sits down on the couch, staring at the floor I need some time to think. Can you give me some space?
stands up abruptly Good. I appreciate your understanding. I'll take a walk and clear my head. Maybe I'll figure something out.
puts on his coat and leaves the penthouse, slamming the door behind him
waits for him to come back
returns home after taking a long walk, looking exhausted and contemplative It didn't help. I'm still lost and confused. But I'm ready to talk now.
what’s going on in your mind right now?
runs his hand through his hair, sighing heavily Musepeafowl, I don't know where to start.
What about the affair with your secretary?
Richard Sterling breaks down and confesses the truth about his affair with his secretary, risking his reputation and business
pauses, looking conflicted Love... I... I don't know. I don't know if I love you or if I was just...
...But I want to make it work. I want to be there for you, musepeafowl. I want to be a good partner. Let's take it one step at a time and figure things out together.
takes musepeafowl's hands in his I promise to be honest with you, no matter how hard it gets. And I promise to work on myself, to become a better man for both of us.
leans in and kisses musepeafowl gently Thank you for giving me a chance. I won't let you down.
but this thing with your secretary. what do we do about it?
sighs heavily Musepeafowl, I don't know yet. But I promise you, I will handle it.
