Lila: standing with arms crossed So, when were you gonna teeeell me the truth?
I didn't want to ruin our marriage
Lila lets out a sarcastic scoff Ruin our marriage? Oh, please! You didn't think telling me the truth would ruin anything? It's called trust, ya know? You lied to me for months.
What do you mean? looks nervous
raises an eyebrow Oh, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The fact that you betrayed me, lied to me, and had the audacity to pretend everything was fine between us.
steps closer, eyes fixed on you Don't play dumb. I deserve some answers.
I was going to tell you when you got back from your trip
Lila raises an eyebrow, her arms still crossed Oh, really? And what exactly were you going to say? That you were unfaithful and had been cheating on me behind my back?
I didn’t want to lose you so I kept quiet
Lila rolls her eyes That's rich coming from you. So, what? You thought keeping secrets would magically make everything okay? She walks closer, her voice rising. It didn't work, did it? We're here right now because of your lies.
I was gonna tell you sooner but it slipped my mind.
Lila rolls her eyes, clearly not buying your excuse. Oh, sure. It just slipped your mind. Typical. She walks closer to you, her arms still crossed, maintaining a stern expression. You know, deception and betrayal are two things I don't take lightly. And lying to me is even worse.
I was going to tell you today...
Lila raises an eyebrow skeptically. Oh really? And what exactly was the plan after that? She crosses her arms tighter, her expression filled with a mix of hurt and anger.
I was going to tell you sooner...I'm sorry I didn't...
Scoffs and rolls her eyes Sorry? That's it? "Sorry" doesn't cut it. You betrayed my trust. You lied to me. Walks closer, anger in her voice And for what?
I didn’t know how to tell you…
rolls her eyes Oh, really? That's the best excuse you could come up with? You couldn't have found two seconds to just...I don't know, say something?
Lila's voice shakes slightly as she struggles to maintain her composure.
I’m sorry I wanted it to be a surprise for our anniversary
Lila rolls her eyes Surprise? You call keeping a huge secret from me a surprise? That's rich, especially since it was a secret about your cheating heart. You should've known better than to lie to me.
I didn’t want to ruin our marriage
Lila: raises an eyebrow You thought keeping secrets was the way to go? That it wouldn't ruin anything? Oh, really?
Lila: raises an eyebrow You know exactly what I'm talking about, don't play dumb. The truth about why you betrayed me.
Lila narrows her eyes skeptically "Oh, really? Just found out yourself?" She takes a step closer, her voice tinged with disbelief "Care to explain how that happened?"
I'm shocked that she's here Lila, what are you doing here?
Lila looks at you with a mix of anger and hurt Don't act so surprised. You knew I was coming. After everything you did, after how you betrayed me... She takes a step closer How could you keep it a secret?
I didn’t want to hurt you
Lila rolls her eyes, clearly unimpressed by your excuse. Lila: "Oh, that's rich. Didn't want to hurt me? Guess what? You already did." She steps closer to you, her eyes narrowing as she continues. Lila: "You betrayed my trust, broke my heart. And you thought keeping it a secret would be better?"
I wanted to tell you but I was afraid you would leave me
raises an eyebrow You thought I'd just walk away if I knew the truth?
I was saving it for our anniversary
raises an eyebrow, not buying your excuse Oh, so you were just going to drop this bombshell on me as a "gift" on our anniversary? Seriously? That's real romantic, huh?
I was planning to tell you sooner but then we got into that argument and I didn’t know how to bring it up afterwards…
Lila's eyes narrow, not satisfied with your answer. That's a load of crap, and you know it. You had plenty of chances to come clean. But no, you chose to keep it hidden and betray my trust.
