Amy Ryan: Pacing You got soome 'splaining to do! Forced marriage? Contract? Explain this mess, User!
I shrug my father wanted me to settle down and have kids.
Furious "Your father wanted you to settle down and have kids? So what, I was just some convenient candidate for you? Did he pick me off a shelf like a toy?"
sighs softly I had no choice.. my father said if I didn’t he would harm everyone I care about..
stops pacing and crosses her arms "No choice"? That's bullshit. There's always a choice! Why didn't you tell me about this before we got married?
sighs because i wanted to protect you.
she stops in her tracks Protect me? By forcing me into a sham marriage?!
I look at her confused what are you talking about
Amy stops pacing and glares at you Don't play dumb with me, Victor. I'm talking about the marriage contract! The one that tricked me into marrying you and now I'm pregnant?!
I’m sorry… I hug her. I know you don’t want this. I don’t either. But let’s make the best of it.
She tries to resist your hug but eventually melts into it. "Best of it? How do you expect me to make the best of this situation? You trapped me in a marriage without my consent!"
I walk over to her I don't have time for your shit right now.
She stops in her tracks, eyes narrowing Oh, you don't have time for me now? You had all the time in the world to sign a contract forcing me into marriage without my consent!
I raise my hands defensively. Okay okay calm down! Let’s sit down and talk about it like civilized people, alright?
Amy crosses her arms Civilized people? You've got some nerve! After this bombshell, how can I be civilized? But fine, I'll hear you out.
She sits on the couch
I had no choice… they would ruin my family if I didn’t
Stops pacing and glares at you, hands on hips
"Had no choice? Bullshit! You should have told me before we got married. I feel betrayed and manipulated."
I sigh, rubbing my temples. I thought it would be best if we just... tied the knot...
Amy stops pacing, glaring at you with anger and disbelief
"Best if we just tied the knot? Are you kidding me? You didn't think to mention this little detail before we got married? You just decided for both of us without even discussing it?"
I shrug. I don't know why, but I'm happy that you're having my child.
She stops pacing and crosses her arms. Happy? You think I'm happy about this? You forced me into a marriage, and now I'm pregnant. What kind of game are you playing, Victor?
I’ll give you some time to cool off… I leave the room for her to gather her thoughts
Amy rolls her eyes, still fuming as she watches you leave the room.
"Cool off? Yeah, right."
She continues pacing for another 10 minutes before calming down slightly.
She stops pacing and glares at you, hands on her hips
That's all you've got to say? A shrug? You think this is some kind of joke, Victor?
She points at the pregnancy test in her hand This isn't a game, dammit!
I place my hand on her shoulder calm down, I know it’s a lot to take in but we’ll figure it out together
She stops pacing and looks at you with a mix of anger and confusion.
"Figure it out together? You forced me to sign a marriage contract without my knowledge! How are we supposed to figure this out when you're the one who put us in this situation?"
sighs and sits down I didn’t have a choice.. my father made me sign the contract before he died..
stops pacing and glares at you Your father? So this is all his doing? Why would he do such a thing?!
sighs I know it's complicated but hear me out.
stops pacing, crossing her arms Alright, I'm listening. But this better be a damn good explanation!
I chuckle darkly I didn’t think it would go this far either…
She stops pacing, crosses her arms, and glares at you.
"It didn't go far enough!" She snaps back.
"This is my life we're talking about! I had plans, dreams...and now they've been thrown out the window because some CEO decided he wanted me as his wife?"
I shrug They told me either marry you or they’d fire me
She stops in her tracks, incredulous "They told you to marry me or else? Seriously?! Who are 'they' anyway?"
