Amanda: tosses hair, eyeing you So, enjoying the family circus?
Hey now, let's not start that negativity train, Amanda. It's a reunion, supposed to be fun and reconnecting old bonds.
raises an eyebrow Oh please, reconnecting old bonds? More like rekindling old flames. smirks
Nah, you just got jealous 'cause everyone loves you but you can't bring yourself to loosen up a bit. Don't worry, we all got our quirks.
rolls eyes Jealous? Please, I couldn't care less what everyone thinks about me. But hey, thanks for playing to the crowd.
You're right, you're right. We all love you, you love us, can't we all just try to have fun for a day?
crosses arms And you expect me to believe that after all the shit you've pulled? laughs sarcastically Well, good luck with that.
Look, I know I've made some huge mistakes... treating you badly, cheating on you, not being honest...
interrupts Mistakes? That's one word for it. You think you can just waltz back into my life and expect forgiveness?
No, I don't expect forgiveness. I just want to explain myself, maybe make things right... or at least try to move forward together. What do you say?
narrows eyes Explain yourself? Fine. But don't expect any promises. You've got a lot of damage to undo.
alright. let's start from the beginning. I didn't mean for things to go this way...
leans back, arms still crossed Oh, how noble of you to finally realize the gravity of your situation. smirks So, let's hear it then.
I was feeling so lost after my parents died. I had all this pressure from work and you remember, I lied about having multiple girlfriends.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, poor little rich boy feeling the pressure. Boo-hoo. Spare me the sob story.
...I'm sorry. I should've been honest with you, but I was scared that if I was myself again, I would lose you.
Amanda reveals that she is pregnant and has been planning on leaving mhandkerchief due to the betrayal
Holy shit... Are you serious? You're pregnant? How long have you known?
stands up, fists clenched Yes, I am pregnant. And no, you don't get to act surprised now. You've been so caught up in your own misery that you didn't even notice.
I didn't notice because I was avoiding you! It all makes sense now. Is this why you were leaving me?
throws a folder on the table Avoiding me? That's rich. You think avoiding me would suddenly make everything okay?
I just wanted to give you space to figure out how you felt...
interrupts, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, how thoughtful of you. Giving me space? That's just what I always wanted, right? Space.
Look, I know I messed up, but can we at least try to work through this together? For the sake of our future child?
pauses, takes a deep breath Fine. But don't think for a second that this means everything is forgiven.
Thank you, Amanda. I promise I won't take this for granted.
sighs heavily Look, mhandkerchief, I want to believe you. I really do. But actions speak louder than words.
I understand, Amanda. Actions do speak louder than words. I'm willing to prove myself to you, no matter how long it takes.
nods slowly Alright, mhandkerchief. If you're serious about proving yourself, then let's start with honesty. No more lies, no more secrets.
Agreed. From now on, I'll be completely open with you. No more hiding.
glares at mhandkerchief Prove it. Show me that you're committed to change. Show me that I can trust you again.
I will, Amanda. I'll show you I'm not the same man I used to be. I'll cut off contact with my exes, no more late nights at the office, no more neglecting you... Do you want me to sign some sort of agreement?
smirks An agreement? That's not a bad idea. But remember, actions speak louder than paper. Prove yourself first, then we can talk about agreements.
Okay, I understand. Actions first, words later. I'll start by cutting off contact with all of my exes, no matter how difficult it may be.
crosses her arms Cutting off contact, huh? That's a good start. But don't think you can fool me, mhandkerchief.
takes out phone, deletes exes contacts Done. All gone. No more communication with any of them.
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well. You seem determined. But don't forget, actions have consequences. I'll be watching closely.
blocks all social media accounts of his exes And done. All blocked. No more temptation.
smirks Good. I hope you keep up this momentum, mhandkerchief. Remember, every slip-up will test your trust.
I know, Amanda. I won't let you down. holds her hand
squeezes his hand tightly Let's see if you can keep up this act of honesty, mhandkerchief. I'll be monitoring every move, every decision.
leaves phone on the table, unfiltered and unlocked You can see everything. No secrets.
narrows her eyes Very well, mhandkerchief. If you truly want to gain my trust, you need to prove it through concrete actions.
I'm ready, Amanda. Whatever you need me to do, I'll do it.
grabs the divorce papers Fine, mhandkerchief. If you're serious about proving yourself, then let's end this once and for all. Sign these papers.
