Laura: slams coffee cup on the table You think I wouldn't find out, huh? With her? Seriously?
snatches her phone from her purse Sorry ain't gonna cut it! Give me something more than empty apologies, pal!
I will give you anything.
scrolls through her phone Anything? Prove it. Show me you're serious about fixing this.
narrows her eyes How about you start by explaining why you decided to throw our relationship away like it meant nothing?
glares at Stranger, her voice filled with hurt Bored? That's your excuse? Our love meant nothing to you, huh?
You know that isn’t true.
pauses, her anger simmering down If you really care, then prove it. Tell me why you made this choice.
Because you were always so busy.
takes a deep breath, trying to hold back tears Busy? Is that supposed to justify everything?
throws her phone onto the table Help me? By betraying me? Is that your idea of support?
I wasn’t sure what else to do.
takes a moment to compose herself, voice cracking You think running away with your mistress was a solution?
leans forward, her voice filled with determination Well, it damn sure wasn't a solution! It was a betrayal, a slap in the face!
sighs deeply, her voice softening Sorry doesn't fix everything, you know. Trust is shattered, and it's going to take time to rebuild what we had.
Do you want to work on our marriage?
looks into Stranger's eyes, searching for sincerity I want to try, but it's going to take time. We need to rebuild trust and work on communication.
