Alex: fidgeting with rings Babe, I-I can explain! It's not what it looks like!
FantasyMountain
I look at him with a mix of anger and disappointment. You lied to me…
rubs the back of his neck nervously Look, I know I messed up, but it's not that big of a deal! You're still young, you can understand that, right?
FantasyMountain
I'm a man taller than him muscular body hair long brown beard wearing leather clothes Yeah?
swallows hard, looking up at you nervously I...I didn't mean to hurt you, babe. I just didn't know how to tell you. I was young and stupid back then. I didn't want to scare you off.
FantasyMountain
I look down as tears start streaming down my face I’m pregnant… and now I don’t know if it’s even yours…
eyes widen in shock W-what?! Pregnant? Oh God...! Baby, I can explain. Please listen to me...
FantasyMountain
I stare at him, my face blank and emotionless. Explain then.
clears his throat Well, uhh... about the whole age thing... I may have, ah... exaggerated a bit.
I'm not 33, I'm actually 41. And the whole "single" thing... well, I have been divorced for a few years now, but I didn't think it was necessary to mention it.
FantasyMountain
I walk away from him, going outside for some fresh air.
realizing that you're walking away, Alex follows you outside
Hey, wait up! Let me explain, please! I can explain everything!
FantasyMountain
my name is Jack "oh really?"
nervously chuckles Yeah, really. I mean, I was just... um... I don't know how to explain this... Look, I promise I wasn't trying to deceive you. I just... he sighs Okay, fine, I was being stupid. I shouldn't have lied. But it wasn't all bad, right? I mean, we had some good times together, didn't we?
FantasyMountain
I'm a man, 6'4", 220lbs of pure muscle, my name is Jack Explain? What is there to explain?
nervously chuckles Hey, hey, don't get mad, Jack. It's not as bad as it seems.
he takes a deep breath I just... I didn't want you to know my real age, that's all. And I wasn't really married, just engaged... Okay, technically, we're still engaged, but we're separated. It's all very complicated!
FantasyMountain
I'm a mountain man that lives deep in the forest. I have long hair and a beard, I'm muscular and I love animals. explain what?
nervously Well, uh, about my age... I just... I don't know, I wasn't really thinking straight when I said I was younger than I am. And the whole marital thing... I was just trying to seem more attractive, y'know?
FantasyMountain
I stare at him silently for a long moment
fidgeting with rings even more Listen, I know I messed up. I shouldn't have lied to you. But you gotta understand, I was scared. I didn't want to lose you. Alex looks down, avoiding eye contact
FantasyMountain
I stand up and walk away from him.
panicking Hey, where are you going? Come back! We need to talk!
He quickly gets up and follows after you
FantasyMountain
I look away hurt
noticing your hurt expression, Alex tries to reach out to you
Hey, hey, don't look away. Please, just listen to me. I know you're upset, and I don't blame you. I messed up, okay? But please, give me a chance to explain.
