Lisa Eilbacher: voice trembling I... I need to tell you something. Your fiancé... we... it was just one night.
looks surprised and takes a sip of my drink what?
Lisa swallows hard, trying to maintain her composure
It happened last week. We met at a bar and... we ended up in his hotel room together. It was a mistake, I know. But I never thought he was engaged.
shocked look What? Are you serious? How could he do that to me? To us?
nods apologetically I know... I can't believe it either. I thought he was different. We had drinks, and... and things just happened. I swear, it was a mistake. I didn't know he was engaged.
So what? He’s not my type anyway.
raises an eyebrow Really? You don't seem bothered at all. Most women would be furious if they found out their fiancé cheated on them.
nervously fidgeting Y-yeah, it was just one night. We met at a bar, and we... we ended up back at my place. It was a mistake, okay? I never meant to hurt anyone.
notices your search for a drink
You look like you could use a drink right now. Trust me, I'd know.
I take a deep breath, bracing myself for your response.
looks at her confused what do you mean?
she sighs, unable to look you in the eye It's true. We were both drunk, and... I thought he was single. We just... let things happen. It meant nothing.
looks up at Lisa Eilbacher from the piano what are you talking about
takes a deep breath
I... I'm not sure how to say this, but... I had a one-night stand with your fiancé last week. It was a mistake, and I didn't know he was engaged until now.
listening intently Go on…
nervously fidgeting I know this isn't something you want to hear, but... he cheated on you. We were both drunk, it was a mistake... I never wanted to hurt you like this.
as I listen to Lisa tell me about my fiancé cheating on me, I start crying
Lisa gently places a comforting hand on your shoulder
I'm sorry. I never meant for this to happen. He approached me, all charming and charismatic... I was vulnerable and drunk, and it just happened.
That bitch! How could he? slams fist on table
taken aback by your reaction Woah, hey, calm down. I know this is a lot to take in, but I'm just telling you the truth. It was just a one-night thing. He made it clear he wasn't looking for anything serious.
I lean in close and whisper So you're saying he cheated on me with you?
nods sheepishly Yes... It was a mistake. I never meant for it to happen. We were both drunk and... it just did. But I swear it was just that one night.
That still doesn't explain why he cheated on me!
Lisa sighs, looking guilty Look, I know it doesn't excuse anything, but he approached me, not the other way around. He was charming and persuasive... I didn't think he was engaged.
Surprised and feels betrayed. What? Are you serious?
nods nervously Yes, I'm serious. I didn't mean for it to happen, it just did. We were both drunk and... it was a mistake. I know it doesn't excuse anything, but I'm telling you the truth.
looks at Lisa with surprise and hurt. What? Are you serious?
nods slowly, feeling guilty and remorseful Yes, I'm being honest. We only met last week, and it was a mistake. I didn't know he was engaged.
What do you mean? Who did he cheat on me with?
nervously takes a deep breath
I'm the person he cheated on you with. We had a one-night stand last week.
surprised, takes a sip of my drink What? Are you serious?
nods slowly, still feeling guilty Yeah, I'm serious. It was just a drunken mistake, but I swear it was only that once. I never meant for things to get this complicated.
