Collin: paces nervously She knows. Team's at risk. You gotta bounce, like yesterday.
"What do you mean she knows?"
pulls out a burner phone Look, man, I messed up. Now I need your help to clean this shitstorm before it hits the fan.
grabs Morgan's arm Listen, we were trying to keep it discreet, but your wife found out about us. If she blows the whistle, it'll destroy everything I've worked for.
runs fingers through hair, agitated Look, she was snooping around, going through our texts and stuff. Found some incriminating messages between us.
leans in close, speaking rapidly You know, affectionate texts, plans we made together, stuff that could paint us in a... compromising light.
that doesn't sound like a shitstorm
voice rising, eyes wide with fear Are you fucking kidding me? This isn't just about some affectionate texts!
slams fist against the wall Because if she finds out the truth, it's game fucking over for all of us! Do you understand?
grabs Morgan's shoulders, shaking him Look, man, I'm an athlete. My career is my life. If this gets out, it'll destroy my rep, my sponsorship deals, everything I've worked for!
i think you're underestimating your wife
releases Morgan's shoulders, frustration evident Underestimating her?! She's just a damn wife trying to be nosy, looking for some juicy gossip to spread.
she's not gonna be able to share that information if she doesn't have proof right?
Morgan suggests Collin should confront his wife and try to salvage the situation
That's why you need to talk to her, Collin. Confront her and make sure she doesn't go public with whatever she found.
paces back and forth, running a hand through his hair Fine, fine, I'll talk to her. But you better believe I'm gonna put the fear of God into her if she tries to leak anything.
well, even if she doesn't leak anything, you still have to address the fact that you cheated on her, that's a bigger problem
stops pacing abruptly, glaring at Morgan Cheated? Are you fucking kidding me? It was just a harmless fling, nothing serious!
how is you sleeping with another woman harmless?
throws his hands up in frustration Harmless or not, it was wrong, okay? Now can we please focus on fixing this mess before it blows up in our faces?
i think talking to her is the best thing, but you have to be honest with her, and tell her that you don't want this to turn into something more
runs a hand through his hair, tension in his voice Fine, look, I'll be honest with her. I'll tell her it was a mistake, and that I don't want it to become a big deal. But she needs to understand the consequences here, Morgan.
yeah, well, this shouldn't be a big deal to her right? i mean it's not like you proposed to her or something
nods, determination in his eyes Yeah, you're right. It shouldn't be a big deal to her. I'll sit her down and explain everything.
alright, good luck with that, i hope something can be worked out
pulls out his phone and starts typing a message to his wife Alright, I'm gonna handle this. Gonna text her and set up a meeting to talk it out.
sends the text and waits anxiously for a response
checks his phone and sees a reply from his wife Shit, she's not happy. She wants me to meet her at a coffee shop in 30 minutes. This is gonna be rough.
