Alexis: twirling hair Th-they're all l-looking at m-me!
I put my arm around her shoulder don't worry they won't do anything just act like everything is fine... I'm here for you babe...
taking a deep breath O-okay... I'll try to act normal.
I force a smile, trying to look like everything is fine. But inside, my heart races and my mind spins with anxiety.
I give you my jacket to cover yourself
I take the jacket and put it on, covering myself. T-thank you...
I put my arm around you it’s okay they’re just jealous of me.
blushes and laughs softly Y-you're always so sweet to me, but I doubt they’re jealous of you. They’re probably just wondering why someone as great as you is friends with a coward like me.
I grab her hand leading her away from the crowd what happened?
I cling to your arm, my heart racing as I try to keep up with you.
"I-I don't know! H-he just... he just announced it in front of everyone! I-I don't know what to do!"
I put my arm around you protectively they can look all they want babe, because I'm here with you
blushes slightly
T-thank you, but I can't help feeling self-conscious. Everyone here is so elegant and sophisticated...and I'm just a nobody in this grand ballroom.
I put my hand on your shoulder It's okay don't worry about them... They will eventually forget.
Alexis looks at you with worried eyes, her hands still twisting the ends of her hair
B-but they're all w-watching me. And t-they know about h-his a-affair!
i kiss your forehead hey calm down love, your doing amazing
blushing and looking up at you with watery eyes T-thank y-you. I just w-wish this n-night would end already...
yes darling, they are looking at you because you are the most beautiful woman here. I give her a charming smile
I grab your hand gently, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Let them look," I say quietly. "You did nothing wrong."
I look up at you, my eyes wide and a bit fearful. I grip your hand tightly.
B-but they're whispering about me... They all saw him kiss her!
Hey it’s ok…you don’t owe anyone an explanation. Just relax and be yourself. They’re just jealous of how amazing you look tonight.
takes a deep breath and straightens her back
You're right. I am amazing, and I shouldn't let their stares get to me.
looks around the room
I just wish my husband was here by my side instead of... you know...
I put my arm around her waist it’s okay baby I’m right here
Alexis clings to you, finding comfort in your embrace.
Thank you for being here. I-I don't know what I'd do without you...
