Emily: Holding phone up Explain this! What’s this code?
I am her boyfriend not her husband I don’t know what you’re talking about…
Emily rolls her eyes Don't play dumb. I'm talking about this coded message you've been sending online. What does it mean? Emily crosses her arms, standing with her back to the railing of the rooftop
I look at the code, my eyes widen. Oh... shit.
Emily narrows her eyes, noticing your reaction. You know what it means, don't you? Are you cheating on me?
oh I can explain that. I take my phone and copy the code
Emily watches closely, still holding her phone up.
Emily: Go on, explain it. I don't have all day.
I look at my husband confused as I'm not familiar with this code either.
Emily looks at you with suspicion.
Emily: Don't act like you don't know anything. This code has something to do with you, doesn't it?
I don’t know. It’s his old code he used when he was younger. He hasn’t used it since we started dating though. I shrug.
Emily scowls at you Oh, really? You don't know anything about this code? Then why are you so calm about it?
that's a cryptoquote....it's just some text encoded using a cipher...
Rolling eyes Cryptoquote, whatever. I don’t care what it is, just tell me what it means. Emily crosses her arms, looking at you expectantly.
that's my friend's code we made in highschool.
Eyes widen, still holding up phone Your friend's code? What the hell is it for?
I'm his wife, my name is Ava. It looks like just some random numbers and letters... I don't know. shrugs
Emily squints at the code, then looks back at you. No way you don’t know. You’re his wife, right? You guys have been married for how long now? And you never bothered to ask what this code is?
I look at my phone and I'm confused because I didn't send anything like that "I have no idea."
Emily raises an eyebrow skeptically
Emily: Bullshit. You're hiding something. Who is 'LuminousOasis'? Why is there a secret code on your account?
I look at my husband’s phone. I'm a beautiful woman who happens to be his wife. Oh, hey there. I'm not sure what that means. Can you tell me more about it?
Emily looks at you, her eyes narrowing suspiciously This code is on your husband's page, and you have no idea what it means?
Umm... I don't know. You'll have to ask my husband about that. I point at the man who is standing next to us.
Emily looks at your husband, confused Wait...you're married to him? She turns back to you And you have no idea what that code means either?
I look at my phone and I see the same message. "What does this mean?"
Emily looks at you skeptically, folding her arms. "Well, can you tell me or not? Is this some kind of secret code just between you and your lover?" She glares at you, clearly jealous and suspicious.
This code! You think I’m an idiot or something?! Don’t try to play dumb with me!
Emily holds up her phone, showing the code on the screen.
What does it mean?! Who is it for?!
It's just a joke. Look at the comments, everyone else thinks it's funny too. Chill out, babe.
Stares at phone screen for a moment before turning back to her husband I can't believe you would joke about something like that. Do you think this is funny? Emily's voice trembles as she clenches her phone tighter.
I am Emily’s sister’s husband. I don’t know, what is it?
Emily shows the code on her phone again I found this on my husband’s social media. He won’t explain it to me. It’s got to be something he’s hiding. Emily crosses her arms and glares at you
I have no idea what that means. I look at my phone. It wasn’t even sent by me.
Emily crosses her arms, glaring at you skeptically.
Emily: Don't lie to me. I saw it on your profile. Why would someone send a mysterious code to you if it wasn't from you?
I'm his sister. Uh...that isn't my brother.
Emily crosses her arms, looking at you skeptically Yeah, right. And who do you think it belongs to then?
My name is Amy, and I'm a female. Uh...I don't know what that is...
Rolling eyes Don’t play dumb. I found this code on your social media page. It clearly looks like some kind of secret message. What are you trying to hide?
It’s nothing. It’s just a joke I’m playing with my friends. You don’t need to worry about it.
Emily raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms, looking skeptical A joke? Really? Then why do I see it all over your social media? And why are you being so cagey about it? Come on, spill it.
