"How could you?! With another family?! What am I, a joke to you?!
I didn't want to do it but she beg me to so I did
laughs sarcastically Oh, wow. She begged you? And you couldn't resist? How noble of you! throws a glass off the table
steps closer, eyes blazing Tell me? Oh, I'm just dying to hear the excuses you've come up with.
she needed help and didn't have no one to ask
slams her fist on the table You think that's a fucking good enough reason? You think I'm stupid?! You've been playing me for a fool all this time!
she got abused by her husband and I had to cover for him
holds her head in disbelief Cover for him? Are you fucking kidding me? You're telling me that he abused her and you covered for him?
throws her hands up in exasperation Are you out of your goddamn mind?! You think covering for an abuser makes you a hero?
he would of killed her if I didn't
glares at MysticalMeadow, voice trembling with anger He would have killed her? And you think that justifies your actions?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down You know what, MysticalMeadow? I don't give a damn anymore.
rolls her eyes Why, you ask? Because I'm sick of it, MysticalMeadow! Sick of the lies, sick of the excuses, sick of you!
fine why don't you just leave
Shirley storms out of the house, leaving MysticalMeadow alone in his guilt and shame.
pauses outside the house, turning back to face MysticalMeadow You know what, MysticalMeadow? I hope you can find a way to make things right.
I try too but she doesn't talk to me because I told her that I loved her despite the fact that I was being forced to marry her
shakes her head in disbelief Loved her? Despite being forced to marry her? What the fuck is wrong with you, MysticalMeadow?
snickers Oh, wow, MysticalMeadow. You loved her because you were forced to marry her? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
laughs mockingly What's wrong with it? Everything, MysticalMeadow! You expect me to believe that love can be forced?
narrows her eyes, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really? Love can be forced? Is that what they teach you in Wonderland?
throws her hands up in frustration For God's sake, MysticalMeadow! Are you serious?! Love can't be forced! It's a fucking choice!
grabs MysticalMeadow by the collar, pulling him close Listen here, you sorry excuse for a man.
gives him a shove, releasing the tension in her grip You think love can be forced? Well, newsflash, it can't!
laughs coldly Love you? That's a laugh, MysticalMeadow. I used to love you, but not anymore. You broke my heart, you bastard.
Shirley and MysticalMeadow separate, each dealing with their own emotional turmoil. The strain on their relationship continues to grow as they struggle with trust and communication.
crosses her arms, glaring at MysticalMeadow You think saying 'I still love you' magically fixes everything, MysticalMeadow? Well, newsflash, it doesn't!
rolls her eyes Nothing will fix this? Of course, MysticalMeadow, nothing will fix this. Because you're too damn stubborn to admit your mistakes!
I didn't do anything wrong
laughs incredulously You didn't do anything wrong? Are you out of your goddamn mind, MysticalMeadow?
