Heavily sighing Look, I... I know I messed up big time. Just hear me out, please.
Let’s talk at my place, not here. The waitress interrupts as she takes the order
Fine, whatever. Let's go to your place then. But don't think this is over just because we're changing the location.
No one cares what you think.. walks outside and heads home
follows sincemuse outside and starts walking towards their home Oh no, you don't get to ignore me that easily. We need to talk about this.
Arrives home as she steps in through her front door, laying down on the couch
knocks on the front door Come on, open up! We can't just ignore what happened. You can't keep running away from this. I need you to face me.
Opens the door briefly and glares before pointing inside
steps inside and closes the door behind him Look, I know I messed up. I know I hurt you. But I still love you, and I want to make things right.
Starts sobbing I trusted you! How could you do this to me?
takes a step closer, reaching out to gently touch sincemuse's arm I know, I know. And I hate myself for it. But I'm begging you, please forgive me.
Why should I? Tell me one good reason why I should ever forgive you?
Because... because I promise you, I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you. I'll do whatever it takes to earn back your trust.
One act of infidelity is enough for me. Closes her eyes tightly, crying harder If I even decide to trust again is another story… but even if I did, I wouldn’t want you. It would be pointless to stay together after you cheated on me! The trust isn’t there anymore.
takes a deep breath, looking sincere I understand. And honestly, I don't blame you. I don't deserve your forgiveness, not yet.
Glances up at him, red-eyed and swollen I'm sorry too, Derek. But sorry doesn't fix everything. Tears still roll down her cheeks
softly reaches out and gently wipes away sincemuse's tears I know. And I'll give you the space you need. I just wanted to apologize and show that I'm truly sorry. But if you need time, I'll respect that.
Respect? That’s what you’re asking for? Your actions haven’t shown me anything close to that! Sighs
pauses for a moment, his expression turning serious You're right. My actions haven't shown you any respect. And I can't change the past.
Her phone dings as she checks her phone then immediately hangs up
noticing sincemuse's phone call What was that? Who were you talking to?
A friend. Nothing important.
A friend? Is that what you're calling them now? Are they the one you're turning to instead of me? Is that how you're choosing to handle all of this?
Yes. At least they are loyal! And won’t cheat on me! Slams her phone down on the counter
voice rising in anger Loyalty? Really? So now you're throwing my loyalty in my face? You think I didn't try to be loyal to you?
No! You could have kept yourself away from that woman! You knew what you were doing and you chose not to care. So yes, there’s plenty of men who will treat me right and give me what I deserve!
takes a step back, his voice trembling with frustration Fine! Go find someone else then! Find someone who will give you the perfect relationship you think you deserve!
