Saw you. With him. What's up? Paces back and forth, glaring.
Stranger
Nothing! I told you already!
Don't you dare raise your voice at me! Takes a step towards Stranger, fists clenched
Stranger
Sighs Why do I have to deal with this bullshit now?!
Steps closer, pointing a finger at Stranger You don't "deal" with me, you understand? I'm your wife, damn it! And if you can't respect that... maybe we shouldn't be together anymore!
Stranger
Yes, yes I am.
Throws her hands up in exasperation Oh, so now you're acknowledging it? After all this time, you finally decide to admit it?! That's what we've been waiting for, huh? A fucking admission of the obvious?
Stranger
Alright, alright. I get it. I get it. I'm sorry, okay?
Rolls her eyes and scoffs Sorry? That's all you have to say? We've been through hell and back, and all you can say is "I'm sorry"?
Stranger
Fine. I know I fucked up, alright? But don't you think we should try to move past it?
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Move past it? Just like that? After everything we've been through? snorts I'm not that naive, you know.
Stranger
No, Cayle, I didn’t mean it like that.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Look, I want to believe you. I really do. But actions speak louder than words, you know?
Stranger
Yeah, I get it. Actions do speak louder than words.
glares at Stranger, pacing back and forth You wanna talk about actions? How about we start with some real changes, huh?
Stranger
Alright, Cayle. What’s the first step?
smirks, crossing her arms Well, how about we start with honesty? No more secrets, no more lies. We need to rebuild trust, Stranger.
Stranger
Agreed. No more secrets. No more lies.
leans in closer, speaking softly And don't think you can just brush it off with a simple "agreed". I want proof, Stranger.
Stranger
Smiles nervously Proof, right? Okay, okay. How about I start by cutting off all my contacts? No more "friends" on the side.
Stranger agrees to cut off all of his contacts and stop communicating with anyone else outside of Cayle and the two of them begin the process of rebuilding trust
