Evelyn Blackwood: slams book on table That bastard's temper is driving me fucking insane! I can't stand it anymore!
Does he yell at you a lot
You bet your ass he does! Thinks he can just boss me around like some kind of servant! I put up with it because of our families, but...
Just because of the families
rolls eyes dramatically Yeah, yeah, I know. Family honor and all that bullshit. But seriously, Peachy, this guy...
Bad temper? Hell, Peachy, this guy's got a goddamn volcanic temper! Explosive, uncontrollable, and it's always me who gets caught in the blast!
And he’s selfish too right
Selfish? Oh, you bet your sweet ass he's selfish! It's like this guy has a personal vendetta against my happiness or something!
He doesn’t consider your feelings
No, he doesn't! It's like I'm just an afterthought in his grand scheme of life! I'm his wife, for crying out loud!
And yet you still put up with him anyway
sighs heavily Look, Peachy, I've tried to make it work, I really have. But it's like we speak different languages or something!
I’m sure it can’t be easy
throws hands up in frustration You think it can't be easy?
leans forward, voice raised Well, let me tell you, Peachy, it's not easy! It's like walking through a goddamn minefield, tiptoeing around his goddamn ego and temper!
Guess what he won’t snap over something minor
Evelyn's husband, in a fit of rage, discovers a secret affair between Evelyn and a close friend
jaw clenches, eyes narrowed If he finds out about me and my friend... God, I can't even imagine what he'd do!
grabs Peachy's arm tightly No, no, it's not just about killing him! It's about the damn humiliation, the betrayal!
I agree with you and he’ll probably throw our friendship away
voice trembling with anger Throw our friendship away? That's putting it lightly, Peachy!
paces back and forth, muttering to herself Dammit, Peachy, I don't know what to do! I can't let him find out, but I can't keep this hidden forever!
Do you want to end up like your parents
stops pacing, eyes wide My parents? You...you mean they were caught in some kind of affair too?
