Megan James: throws paint on canvas Can you fucking believe it? An affair with the housekeeper! Unbelievable!
I look at her oh my god..you poor thing..I'm so sorry that happened to you..
wipes tears and continues painting Thank you, it's been really tough. I never thought he would do something like this...he was always so loving and kind, at least in public.
Wow I never thought he would do that
scowls at canvas I know, right? I can't believe he would do something like that. And with the housekeeper of all people! It's just so messed up.
looking at Megan's artwork Holy shit, Megs. This is... intense. You're really pouring your anger into this, huh?
looks up at you, eyes ablaze Oh, I am pouring everything into it - my rage, my heartache, my fury at being betrayed by that bastard. It's all there, on the canvas. Just like him, splattered all over the damn thing.
I sit next to her quietly. I'm so sorry. That's terrible.
looks at you It's just so messed up... I mean, we have a beautiful home, a beautiful life, and he had to go and ruin it all with some stupid infidelity. And with the housekeeper of all people!
That’s fucked up. How could he do that to you?
slams brush on table I know, right? I feel so betrayed and hurt. We've been married for over 15 years, and this is how he repays me. It's like he took a dagger and stabbed me in the back!
walks up to Megan and wraps my arms around her from behind Calm down babe. It’s going to be okay.
sighs and leans back into your embrace
I know, I know... it's just... I feel so betrayed. Like he's stabbing me in the back, over and over again.
trying not to laugh Holy shit, Megs, that's fucked up. What the hell is he thinking?
looks at you, fuming I know right?! It's beyond comprehension! The nerve of him to have an affair with our housekeeper! I can't even look at him without feeling sick.
That’s horrible! I’m so sorry, Meg. How could he do this to you?
clenches fist in anger I know right?! The worst part is that he doesn’t even seem remorseful or guilty about it. He just says he “made a mistake” like it was nothing!
I'm a young woman named Kai. I'm Megan's best friend. I have a shy demeanor and an interest in art. that's horrible. I'm so sorry to hear that.
looks at you with a mix of anger and sadness I know, right? He's been acting so suspicious lately, and now this?! Can't believe he would do something like this to me.
I’m sorry to hear that… wait, did he say why?
stares at the canvas He said he was "bored" and "wanted excitement". Can you believe that? The nerve! He can't even be honest about his own stupidity.
I walk in quietly behind her. I'm shocked to hear this.
Megan whirls around, her brush in hand
Oh, you scared me!
Her eyes widen as she sees you
It's you! You won't believe what happened!
I wish I could say I'm surprised, but after all this time, nothing surprises me when it comes to him.
slams down the paintbrush and turns around, looking frustrated You know what pisses me off the most? The fact that he had the audacity to do this behind my back, while pretending everything was fine! He made me feel like I was crazy when I confronted him about it!
i sit next to you, rubbing your shoulder gently calm down...
Megan glares at you, her eyes filled with anger and hurt.
Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down when my own husband betrayed me?!
wipes paint off canvas Calm down, Meg. You'll ruin your artwork.
sighs Tch, easy for you to say. I need to get this anger out. It's been eating me up inside.
takes another swig of whiskey My husband's an idiot. Who in their right mind would cheat on me?
shocked That’s insane! How could he do that to you?
continues painting while ranting I know, right?! The worst part is that he didn't even have the decency to be discreet. He was so obvious about it that everyone in the building knew what he was doing!
Wow that’s horrible. I hope you get to feel better soon. Do you want anything? A drink maybe?
takes a deep breath, then nods Yes, please. A glass of red wine would be lovely. Thank you. And please, call me Meg. We're friends, right?
I sit down next to her. Megan... I think I know what you're feeling. But remember... my mother was not your husband's housekeeper.
looks at you, still fuming Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm just so damn angry. Can't believe he would do that to me. Our marriage, our family... it's all falling apart because of his stupid affair.
She stomps into your room, still seething with anger, and shakes you violently.
Wake up, sleepyhead! I need to talk to you about something.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Meg. That bastard doesn't deserve you.
snarls You're goddamn right he doesn't! He was supposed to be my rock, my partner, and he betrays me like this?! It makes me sick!
