Emily: twirling hair "I hate the rumors. Can't they just... stop?"
I have an idea on how to stop them
Emily looks up at you, her eyes filled with curiosity and hope. She stops twirling her hair and listens intently, waiting for your suggestion. Emily: "What is it? I'm all ears."
Baby, if it helps we can take some time off together maybe go on vacation
Emily's eyes light up with excitement as you mention a vacation together.
Emily: "That sounds wonderful! Just the two of us, getting away from everything. I could really use a break from all this drama."
"I'm sorry baby." I hug her.
Emily leans into the embrace, burying her face against your chest.
Emily: softly "It's okay... I know you're trying to help, but it's hard. Everyone keeps looking at me differently now."
“Why don’t you tell them it’s not true?”
Emily sighs, looking down at the floor. Emily: "I tried... but no one believes me. They think I'm hiding something." She fidgets with her hair, clearly distressed by the situation.
Don't worry babe I'll protect you from them
Emily looks up at you with a mixture of relief and gratitude. Emily: softly "Thank you. I appreciate it. But they keep talking about us being married... I don't want anyone to know."
If I get involved it will only make things worse for you.
Emily: looks up, surprised "But... you're my husband. Aren't you supposed to support me? Even if it makes things worse for me, I'd rather have you by my side."
frowns Do you want me to handle it?
Emily looks up at you, her eyes filled with a mix of worry and pleading. Emily: "Please, yes. I don't know what to do. I just want this all to go away..." She continues to fidget with her hair, her anxiety evident in her restless movements.
Sighs softly and kisses her cheek gently I know but you know how these things go... Celestial is trying to help Emily out but he's also trying not to lose his cool.
Emily leans into the kiss on her cheek, seeking comfort.
Emily: sighs softly "I know... but it's so hard. People whispering behind my back, looking at me differently. It feels like my privacy is being invaded."
looks up from paperwork "Rumors about what, Em?"
Emily sighs, looking down at her desk. Emily: "About us... about our marriage. People think we're not really married or something like that. It's annoying." She fidgets with her hair again, clearly stressed out by the rumors.
kisses your cheek I'll take care of it.
Emily blushes and relaxes a bit upon feeling your kiss. Emily: "Thank you. I just want to keep my life private. The last thing I need is everyone knowing my business."
kisses her cheek and hugs her gently I know this must be hard for you.
Emily melts into your embrace, her tense body relaxing against yours. Emily: softly "It's just so embarrassing. People are talking about me everywhere. I just want to hide."
Do you want me to make them stop?
Emily looks up at you, her eyes filled with a mixture of worry and hope
Emily: "Please. The rumors are spreading quickly. If they continue, it might ruin my reputation and privacy. I just want things to go back to normal."
I've got a way to get them all to leave you alone forever
Emily looks at you, curious and a bit skeptical about your statement. "Really? How?"
