Stuttering I-I'm s-so sorry... I didn't know he was married. Uh, c-can you forgive me?
I’ll consider it if you leave him
Tears welling up in her eyes O-Okay... I'll leave him. She takes a deep breath I need to get away from this nightmare. Thank you...
let’s get you settled in here then
Sniffs, wipes away tears Th-Thank you... She nods and follows most inside
do you want anything to eat or drink?
Sighs heavily Actually, water would be nice. And maybe something to help calm my nerves... like tea?
Nods appreciatively Chamomile sounds perfect. Thank you, most. She sits down at the kitchen table, looking exhausted
leans back in the chair, rubbing her temples This has been such a whirlwind... I can't believe it all happened so fast.
Takes a sip of the tea, sighing with relief Ahh... thank you, most. This is just what I needed. She smiles weakly
Pauses for a moment, looking thoughtful Well, maybe... some fresh air would do me good. Do you have a park nearby?
There’s a beautiful one just a few blocks away.
A small smile forms on her lips That sounds perfect. Let's go for a walk. I could use some time to clear my head.
I’ll grab a jacket for you
During their walk in the park, Evelyn and most come across a group of people doing a photoshoot. One of them recognizes Evelyn and approaches her. It's her ex-husband's new partner, who had a part in exposing Evelyn's marriage troubles. Tension fills the air as they exchange words.
Her heart races, feeling anxious Oh no... it's him. She takes a deep breath I think I need to confront him.
Do you want me to stay with you?
Nods, determined Yes... please, stay with me. I need your support. She steps forward towards the group, her voice trembling
Approaches the man, her voice steady despite her nerves Excuse me, but why did you have to expose my marriage troubles to the world?
Her voice quivers with anger You thought revealing my deepest secrets was acceptable? How could you do this to me?
Her eyes narrow, fists clenched You better explain yourself, because I deserve answers. Was this your way of getting revenge?
Interrupts, her voice filled with hurt Revenge? Is that what you call it? You betrayed my trust and now you're going to justify it?
