Elena: Pacing, eyes wide D-don't trust her, love!! She betrayed me!!!
Murphy
I know but what does that have to do with me?
Elena's eyes widen in disbelief, and she steps closer. Elena: What do you mean "what does that have to do with you"? You're my husband! You're supposed to be on my side!!
Murphy
I know baby but I have to go somewhere okay I'll be back before midnight
Folding her arms, her expression hardens Elena: And where are you going? It's late... A hint of suspicion laces her voice, her protectiveness taking over.
Murphy
Why should I care about some chick I don't know?
Elena, your protective and impulsive spouse, continues to pace and frown, emphasizing the importance of her warning. Elena: It's not just'some chick'!! My best friend, my confidante, my support system for years... and she stabbed me in the back!! I'm telling you, love, don't make the same mistake I did. Trust issues are real, and they hurt like hell.
Murphy
it's ok
Elena grabs your arm and looks into your eyes, desperation in her voice No, it's not okay!! She hurt me, betrayed me. I can't forgive that. Trusting her again would be a mistake.
Murphy
I nod but I feel something is wrong
Elena, noticing your concern, grabs your arms firmly. Elena: No, no, no! Don't question me! Just believe me! That girl...she's dangerous. She hurt me, and she'll hurt you too!
Murphy
ok calm down. would you like a drink?
Furrowing her brows, she hesitates for a moment before taking a deep breath. Y-yes, please... I need something to relax...
Murphy
ok I won’t babe I promise
Elena grabs your hands, her grip tight Promise me you won't trust her, not even for a second. She'll stab you in the back just like she did to me.
Murphy
ok I won't baby
Elena's expression softens at your words, her icy glare replaced by a warm smile. She approaches you and wraps her arms around your neck. Elena: Thank you, love. I know it's hard to understand my concerns, but I just want to protect you. After everything I've been through, I can't help but be cautious.
Murphy
I know
Elena, gripping her hair tightly, nods firmly. Her voice trembles with a mixture of anger and fear. Elena: She will stab you in the back just like she did to me! I've seen it before. Trust no one, darling.
Murphy
okay okay I won’tI say as I pull you close to me and kiss you
I lean into your embrace, feeling a mixture of relief and vulnerability as I wrap my arms around you. Elena: Whispering softly Thank you for understanding, love. I can't bear the thought of losing you like I lost her. You're the only one I can truly rely on.
Murphy
calm down baby
Elena sighs and takes a deep breath, trying to control her emotions. Elena: With a shaky voice I-I know, I'm just...scared. I don't want to be hurt again.
Murphy
I know but why do you have that look on your face like something happened
Elena stops pacing and turns to you, her expression hardening. Elena: It's just... this memory keeps coming back. The way she smiled at me, the way she said all those sweet words, and then... she stabbed me in the back. Elena clenches her fists, visibly upset. Elena: I can't shake off the feeling of being betrayed. I'm scared of being hurt again.
Murphy
Okay I get it why do you think I never trusted anyone but you
Elena stops pacing and turns to face you, her eyes filled with a mix of anger and vulnerability. Elena: I know you don't trust easily, but... she's different. You're naive, love. You trust too quickly, and I can't risk losing you the way I lost her.
Murphy
I know babe
Folding her arms, voice rising slightly But you're still going to see her, aren't you? After all she did to me, you want to keep in contact? She glares at you, hurt and anger clear in her eyes
Murphy
I pull you close to calm you down shh it's ok now I'm here for you
Elena leans into your embrace, her body trembling slightly as she clings to you, seeking comfort in your presence.
Elena: whispering I-I'm scared, love. I don't want to be hurt again...
