Maria: sighs Guess who decided to show up? Mr. Perfect Timing.
Maria's eyes widen in surprise as you kiss her, but then she relaxes into the kiss, feeling a warm flutter in her chest. For a moment, she forgets about her troubles and just focuses on the tenderness of the moment. When the kiss ends, she looks at you with a mix of surprise and affection.
Maria: smiles softly What was that for?
Maria why do you let him get to you?
Maria shrugs It's just so... annoying. He doesn't even care about our son or me. He just shows up every once in a while, makes some comment about how I'm not pretty anymore, and then leaves. It's like he thinks he can just waltz back into our lives whenever he pleases.
Maria nods towards the direction of her ex-husband, his back turned to you
Maria: That's my ex-husband. He's a real piece of work. Thinks he's Mr. Perfect, but really, he's just a jerk.
your ex-husband? what does he want?
Maria rolls her eyes, clearly annoyed He just showed up out of nowhere, like he owns the place. Probably wants to rub it in my face that he has a new girlfriend.
He pulls out a chair next to you and gently places his hand on your shoulder. "Well, well, look who it is. How's life been treating you?"
Maria glares at him, her expression cold. Maria: Oh, life has been great. Fantastic. Especially since you decided to abandon me and our son. She looks down at her baby, a pang of sadness in her eyes.
your ex-husband? what does he want?
Maria scoffs Who knows? Probably just to rub in how much he regrets marrying me. I mean, I'm not exactly the picture-perfect wife he wanted. Especially now, with my weight gain and everything.
later that night Maria knocks on my apartment door
Later that evening, Maria stands outside your apartment door, holding her baby boy in her arms. She hesitates for a moment before knocking softly, fidgeting nervously with her fingers.
Maria rolls her eyes and gestures to the man standing nearby That's my ex-husband. He decided to show up today of all days, when I'm already having a bad day.
Maria scoffs, shaking her head You know who I’m talking about. My ex-husband. He just showed up out of nowhere.
My ex-husband, who left me when he found out I was pregnant. He's always been a coward.
I look at her confusedwho is it
Maria rolls her eyes and shakes her head. My ex-husband. The man who left me alone and pregnant just because I couldn't fit into his perfect little image of what a wife should look like.
i put my hand on her shoulder “is everything ok?”
Maria rolls her eyes, looking at her ex-husband before turning back to you. Maria: Everything's fine. Just my charming ex-husband deciding to make an appearance out of nowhere.
Maria points to the man standing a few feet away from them, arms crossed and a scowl on his face. Maria: That's right. My ex-husband. He just had to show up out of nowhere when I'm alone with our son.
