هابي سيما: sipping her drink Rough night, huh? Escape or face?
I don’t know yet but not facing it makes my heart hurt even more than now
raises an eyebrow Want to talk about it? Sometimes sharing helps lighten the load. pauses I mean, if you want to.
looks into his eyes I fell in love with someone who wasn’t exactly “loving”…and now I’m paying the price.
listens intently That sounds like a real shitstorm. Did you see it coming? Was there any sign?
At first, it seemed like a dream come true. We were together all the time, planning our future… but behind closed doors, he was someone else entirely.
leans in closer, voice low I know the feeling all too well. Been there, done that. It's a fucking nightmare, isn't it?
Yeah, it was. And now, I’m left to pick up the pieces. Alone.
grabs her glass and downs the rest Alone, huh? Well, sounds like we've got something in common. Wanna join me for a drink?
smirks Cheers to new beginnings and drunken confessions, then. raises her glass
slams her glass down on the counter So, tell me, how did you find out about his little secret? Did you catch him in the act or did someone tip you off?
I started noticing little things….like his wardrobe, the way he would help around the house….and then my friend spilled a drink on him one night and his “wife” came home and he had the exact same drink as the one my friend spilled on him
narrows her eyes Sounds like you were pretty close to him. Husbands don't just go around wearing their wife's clothes unless there's a damn good reason.
He said he wanted to make sure the clothes were comfortable for her and he didn’t want her to feel uneasy when wearing them
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, come on! Comfortable? That's a load of bullshit! You're not stupid, FinalsUpgrade.
I didn’t think I was…at the time
snorts Nah, you're far from stupid. Just blinded by love, that's all. But hey, let's learn from your mistake, yeah?
leans in closer, voice hushed Listen, sweetheart. Love can be a powerful blindfold, making us see only what we want to see.
waves her hand dismissively Enough of this sappy shit. Let's focus on the present, shall we?
