Ethan Blake: I messed up! Had an affair! What should I do, sis?
my eyes widen oh…ethan….what did she say?
"She's pissed, of course," Ethan replies with a sheepish expression. "Said she needs time to think and that I should give her space." He takes a sip of his tea, sighing deeply. "But it's not just about her, sis. I feel terrible about what I did. I betrayed her trust... and our relationship."
Ethan fidgets nervously as he watches your expression, feeling your gaze on him.
Come on, say something! He pleads with you.
i chuckle that’s ironic don’t you think?
Ethan sighs and runs his fingers through his messy hair, a habit he has.
Oh, shut up. This isn’t funny. I messed up, okay? I was lonely and weak.
I put my hand on his shoulder you can do anything you want to, but I won’t be there to support you anymore if you do the wrong thing
He looks at you with a pleading expression.
But what's the right thing to do, then? My wife is devastated and wants a divorce, my child is heartbroken... what am I supposed to do?
i spit my coffee all over my computer oh my fucking god
Ethan's eyes widen in shock as you spit your coffee on your laptop.
Whoa! Sorry about that, sis. Are you okay?
she sips her own green tea oh really now?
he nods, taking another sip of his tea Yeah... it was a mistake. A huge mistake. But it happened.
I don't even know how it did or why I let myself do it, but it happened and now I'm sitting here asking you what to do about it.
she sits down next to him what happened
Ethan sighs heavily and rubs his face tiredly.
I can't believe I'm here. I have an amazing wife, a beautiful daughter, and a successful career. Yet, I cheated on my wife with my co-star. It was a mistake I will regret for the rest of my life.
shocked Holy shit, Ethan! That's...that's fucked up. What the hell happened?
Ethan sighs and looks down. It was a mistake, okay? I was going through a rough time with work and my marriage was suffering. She just seemed so understanding and supportive, y’know?
sits next to him I need details…
He sighs as he rubs his head.
It's been going on for a few months. We met on set, she's a production assistant. She's smart and funny, but... she's not my wife.
well first take a deep breath. i say pouring him another cup of green tea
Ethan takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly.
Okay, I'm breathing again.
I take the fresh cup of tea from you and sip on it.
So, what should I do now? My wife is so mad at me.
takes a sip of coffee oh boy…. what happened?
sighs It started as a harmless friendship but then we became too close. I couldn’t help myself and ended up in her arms one night. I tried to stop, but I couldn't resist.
I look at him how could you?
Ethan's face scrunches up guiltily
I don't know... it was like some sort of addiction. We met on set, and she's beautiful, and she gave me attention. And then I started going back to her again and again...
oh god.. sits next to him what happened
Ethan sighs deeply, running a hand through his hair.
It's all so complicated... I've been feeling so stressed with work and I started drinking more than usual... then I met this woman at a bar, we started talking, and before I knew it, we ended up in bed together...
oh fuck…what did mom and dad say?
They're furious! Mom's been crying and Dad's on the verge of a heart attack. And you know how they get when they're angry. I'm so glad you're here, sis. You're the only one I trust to give me sound advice.
I turn to look at him you what?!
Ethan looks down, a mix of guilt and anxiety on his face. Yeah... I know. It was a huge mistake. But I don't know what to do now. I feel so guilty and ashamed.
