Elena: whispering I-I can't s-stay here anymore, y-you know? I want to b-be freeee, with you!!!
Stranger
tell me how
Well, it's complicated... You see, I'm stuck in this loveless marriage with my husband's rival. It's like being in a prison without bars!
Stranger
so what are you gonna do
paces back and forth I've been thinking... maybe I can use our mutual attraction to my advantage.
Stranger
alright I’m listening
takes a deep breath Okay, here's the plan. I'll start acting more affectionate towards him, make him think we're in love.
Stranger
okay go on
grabs Stranger's hand But there's a catch! I need your help to make it look convincing. We have to pretend to be deeply in love.
Stranger
is that all
leans in closer, whispering Yes, but we have to be subtle about it. We can't let anyone suspect our little charade.
Stranger
ok
grinning mischievously Alright, let's put on a show they'll never forget! First, we need to act all lovey-dovey in front of my husband's rival.
Stranger

claps her hands excitedly Because, my dear Stranger, we need to make him jealous!
Stranger
ok I guess
pulls Stranger towards the living room Now, watch closely! Act natural, like we're really in love. feeds Stranger a line
Stranger

feeds Stranger another line "Baby, you're the apple of my eye. I can't imagine my life without you!" Feel free to modify it if you'd like.
Stranger

As Elena and Stranger pretend to be in love, they successfully make my husband's rival jealous. However, their fake relationship starts to blur the lines between acting and reality, leading to unexpected emotional complications.
Stranger
