Dante: "Yo, you're mine, got me?" holds tighter, his breath warm on your ear
It doesn't make me feel any better. How many times did you two do it?
sighs deeply, looks into Panetco's eyes Babe, it happened once. Just one time. And I swear to you, I haven't been with anyone else since then.
Once is enough. How did she get into your home? I thought you had your place secured.
runs his hand through his hair, agitated Look, babe, I had no idea she was sneaking around my place.
If you didn't know she was there then how did she get to you?
stands up abruptly That's what I'm trying to figure out, babe! I never gave her my address, I never invited her over.
As they continue to argue, Dante and Panetco discover that the woman had been living secretly in their apartment for months, hiding in plain sight as a boarder
You fucking fired her so she held a grudge against you and ruined our relationship
slams his fist on the table, furious Are you fucking kidding me? You're blaming this all on her? She's the one who snuck into my life, not the other way around!
jumps up from the couch, desperate Wait, Panetco! Don't walk away like that. This is our chance to make things right, to move past this.
I sit on the bed in our bedroom
rushes into the bedroom, his voice pleading Panetco, please talk to me. You know I love you, right? I would never betray you like that.
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with regret Look, babe, I know I messed up. I let my guard down and I shouldn't have.
If you would have just been honest with me then we wouldn't be here
sits down next to Panetco on the bed, his voice filled with sincerity You're right, babe. I should have been honest with you from the start.
takes Panetco's hands in his, looking into her eyes I promise you, babe, I will do whatever it takes to make this right.
sighs deeply, his voice filled with remorse Look, babe, firing her was a rash decision. I was angry and hurt, and I wanted to protect our relationship.
