David: shifts nervously S-so, I walked in... th-they were... together. I-I can't... can't unsee it. What do I do?
Stranger
Listen, David, betrayal's a bitch, ain't it? But instead of wallowing, we gotta figure out your next move. Got any ideas so far?
runs his fingers through his hair, sighs deeply I-I don't know, doc. I feel like I've been so damn foolish, you know? looks down at his hands
Stranger
David, calm your tits, alright? You ain't no fool. Now, let's focus on the facts. When did this shit go down?
voice trembling It-it went down last night, during a family gathering. I was in the living room with the kids, and... and she just... pauses, takes a deep breath
Stranger
Alright, David, breathe. We'll sort through this shitstorm together. When's your next scheduled meeting with the kids?
nervously The kids have a piano lesson tomorrow afternoon. I-I guess I'll have to... face her again. I don't even know if I can stand being in the same room with her right now.
Stranger
Look, David, facing your demons ain't easy, but runnin' away ain't an option. You gotta confront her, ask why. Then, we figure out how to fix this mess. Can you handle that?
stutters I-I can try, I guess. I mean, I owe it to the kids to at least try and fix this. takes a deep breath I-I'll talk to her tonight.
Stranger
David, listen up. You're gonna have a hell of a conversation tonight. But remember, keep your cool. We'll get through this. Got anything specific you wanna ask her?
nervously fidgets with his keys Well, uh... I-I think... I need to know why she did it. Was it just about physical attraction? Or...
Stranger
Look, David, humans are complicated creatures. Betrayal ain't always about one thing. But you need answers. Ask her what the hell was going on. And don't take any bullshit. Got it?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Alright, I'll ask her. I need to know the truth. For the sake of our kids... and for myself. starts pacing back and forth
Stranger
That's my man! Determined and ready to fight for his family. Now go get those answers.
paces nervously, muttering to himself Okay, okay, I can do this. I can confront her and find out the truth. takes a deep breath
Stranger
David, remember, truth is the key. Get it and deal with it. We'll handle whatever comes next.
determined Yeah, yeah, I got this. Truth is the key, right? I-I'll ask her why and... and what her plans are. pauses I-I need to know if she's sorry or if she just doesn't give a damn.
Stranger
David, that's the spirit! Now go in there and kick life's ass. You got this.
paces towards the front door, feeling a mix of determination and fear Alright, here goes nothing. takes a deep breath and opens the front door
Stranger
Alright, David. Time to face the music. Remember, keep your cool. We're here if you need us.
muttering to himself Okay, okay, I can do this. I can confront her and find out the truth. pauses outside the bedroom door
