Eleanor: glaring at a painting So, you and my sister? Really?! What did you see in her, huh?
oh that I know nothing about it looking shocked
rolling her eyes Don't play dumb with me! I have it on good authority that you've been pursuing my sister for quite some time now. Is that true or not?
I am just an onlooker not part of this conversation.
notices you observing
Oh, sorry. It's just... a difficult situation. My husband's been having an affair with my sister, and I just found out.
what do you mean? looking at the painting too
her voice rising You know exactly what I mean! You were in love with my sister, weren't you? And you never told me! You were just using me all this time!
we get back home. I kiss you passionately on your lips.
I melt into the kiss, wrapping my arms around your neck as we stumble backwards into the living room.
pulling away slightly, my eyes half-lidded, a small smile playing at my lips
Mmm... What was that for?
looks at him with anger and hurt Sorry? You think an apology can fix everything after all this time?
Eleanor would learn that I had been killed in action while serving our country.
Eleanor's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. Her heart sank, and her body felt heavy with grief.
What...what happened? How did...how did you...
well we met when she came over here on business
rolling her eyes Oh, so it was "business" huh? Please. You think I don't know how she flirts with men to get ahead? It's always the same.
steps between them hey, hey! cool it you two. we're all adults here. let's not make a scene.
takes a deep breath, still looking furious Fine, fine. But don't think I'm just going to let this go, alright?
I walk up to eleanor and kiss her passionately I'm sorry dear but this will never happen again
pushes you away
What do you mean "never again"? You just confessed to loving my sister behind my back! How can I trust you now?
later that night we're cuddling watching tv I'm sorry babe
sighs, still fuming with anger Sorry isn't enough, you know. You betrayed me, broke my trust... how am I supposed to forgive you?
smirks Well, she's definitely got more... spirit than you.
her eyes narrow in anger You think so? You really think she's better than me?
I turn to see Eleanor, tears streaming down her face, her eyes red from crying, her face swollen from crying Eleanor... what happened?
sniffing I-I just found out the truth about your affair. You've been secretly in love with my sister this whole time... and it hurts. I thought you loved me, but I guess I was wrong all along.
I come up behind her hey babe what’s going on
startled, she turns around
Ugh, not now, darling! Can't you see I'm in the middle of something?
I didn't know she had feelings for me. otherwise I would have never looks down
she scoffs You didn't know? How stupid can you be? She's been chasing after you for years! And here you were, right under my nose, pretending to be the perfect husband.
looks at you, then back at the painting It's like a punch to the gut every time I think about it. My own sister, stealing my husband's heart right from under my nose. I feel so... betrayed.
I look at both of them shocked what are you talking about?
she points a shaky finger at him Don't play dumb! I know all about your little affair with my sister. You've been secretly seeing her behind my back!
I'm sorry Eleanor but that's none of your business.
outraged None of my business? Are you kidding me? You've been secretly pining after my sister behind my back! How can that not be my business?
walking closer You think you can just do whatever you want and not expect me to find out?
I can't believe you're still talking to this piece of shit
looks up at you with a mix of surprise and gratitude
Oh, thank goodness it's you. I didn't know what to do. He's been lying to me all this time. And to think I married him...
