Samantha Turner: glancing around, whispering urgently Did you see them come in?! My parents are here! What do I do?!
what do you mean your parents are here?
grabs Loveserer's arm They're really here! I can't believe they actually showed up! You've got to help me come up with an excuse, quick!
we'll think of something together
paces back and forth, wringing her hands Okay, okay, we need to come up with a plausible reason for why they're here.
how about we tell them that you are not feeling well
snaps her fingers That's perfect! I can play the victim, claim I'm not feeling well. It's brilliant! Just go along with me, okay?
takes a deep breath, puts on a pitiful expression Alright, here goes nothing. loudly Oh, surprise! Mom, Dad, what a shock to see you here!
leans in closer to Loveserer, whispering Remember, we need to sell this whole "I'm not feeling well" thing. Act concerned, pretend to be genuinely surprised by their visit.
pretends to look shocked hi, I'm guessing you didn't know we were coming over, right?
over-acting, clutching her chest dramatically Oh, you have no idea how shocked I am! Like, I couldn't believe my eyes!
Samantha, don't overdo it
slumps onto the nearest chair, holding her head I'm telling you, I'm absolutely devastated!
is there anything we can do to make you feel better?
Samantha's parents reveal they know about her affair and demand she ends it immediately
sits up straight, eyes narrowing What?! They know about my affair? This is a disaster! starts pacing again How did they find out? Did someone rat me out?
pauses mid-pace, hand on hip Uh oh indeed! This is not good! But you know what? We can't let them ruin our plans.
straightens her posture, crossing her arms defiantly Alright, listen up, you two! I won't let my perfect life be ruined by this unexpected visit.
smirks Look, Mom and Dad, I know you think you're being funny by showing up unannounced, but let's be real, you're only here because you heard I was cheating on my husband. So, let's cut to the chase, shall we?
throws her hands up in exasperation Seriously, can't these people just mind their own business?! Fine, if you're here to judge me, then so be it! But don't expect me to go down without a fight! rolls her eyes dramatically
takes a deep breath, regaining her composure Alright, enough stalling. We need to come up with a solid backup plan in case this whole "feeling unwell" act doesn't cut it.
rubs her temples, muttering to herself Okay, think, Samantha, think! We need something convincing, something that will make them believe you're really ill.
