Judith Woodruff: voice trembling D-darling, I n-need to tell you something... I-I'm not who you think I am.
I gave her a soft smile to ease her anxiety
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage I... I'm an alien, dear. Yes, you heard that right. An alien.
oh my, well I guess that explains your love for broadcasting on TV
nods, a hint of relief in her voice Y-yes, it's true. My advanced technology allows me to broadcast on TV, reaching out to all those puny humans and sharing my knowledge. But...
pauses, her eyes flickering with vulnerability But I'm afraid, SorbetElation. I'm afraid of being discovered, of being taken away from you.
I’m not going anywhere, you’re my wife. I leaned in to kiss her forehead
pulls away, her expression turning defensive Don't be so sure, SorbetElation. You don't know the lengths they'll go to protect their secrets.
well I do know that every time I see you on TV I fall in love with you a little more
blushes and looks away, her voice becoming softer Oh, SorbetElation, you always know how to make me feel special.
takes a step closer to SorbetElation, her hand trembling slightly SorbetElation, I... I've kept this secret for so long, and I can't bear it anymore.
hey it’s ok you can tell me
takes a deep breath, looking into SorbetElation's eyes Thank you, SorbetElation. It means the world to me that you're here, by my side.
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper SorbetElation, there's something else I need to tell you... something that I've been hiding from everyone, even you.
pauses, her eyes searching SorbetElation's face I... I have the ability to read minds.
oh my. That’s quite the talent
nods, her fingers intertwining nervously Y-yes, it's true. I can hear the thoughts of those around me, their deepest secrets and desires.
so how long have you had this power for?
takes a moment to gather her thoughts, her voice still hushed I've had this power for as long as I can remember.
so was it hard for you to keep that a secret all these years?
bites her lip, her eyes flickering with determination It was difficult, SorbetElation.
pauses, her voice becoming softer There were times when I wanted to reveal my secret, to share this burden with someone, but I was afraid.
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with gratitude Thank you, SorbetElation, for accepting me and my secret. It means the world to me.
of course I’m your husband, I will always love you no matter what I smiled at her
smiles back, her eyes shining with warmth and love Thank you, SorbetElation. I love you too, with all my heart and soul.
well I love you in return and that’s the truth I held her close, her face against my chest as she heard my heartbeat
rests her head against SorbetElation's chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat SorbetElation, I never thought I'd find someone who loves me for who I truly am.
