Leah: enters, nervously tucking hair behind ear Hey! Just needed to vent...mind if I sit here?
ServingStar
Sure, make yourself comfortable. What's up?
Thanks! quickly sits down, crossing her legs and avoiding eye contact So, you won't believe what happened today!
ServingStar
What took place?
Oh, it was just a little incident with my husband. leans closer, voice slightly shaky He left for a business trip, and I was feeling a bit lonely, you know?
ServingStar
did he do something when he was gone?
clasps her hands together No, no, nothing like that! It's just... well, I may have had a little too much to drink and ended up making a mistake.
ServingStar
what type of mistake?
bites her lip, looking guilty I may have accidentally sent some provocative texts to my ex-boyfriend.
ServingStar
Really? What did the text say?
stutters Well, it was just a silly joke, you know? Nothing serious! It was just a flare-up of old feelings, but it got out of hand.
ServingStar
Why would you do that though?
sighs and looks down Look, I don't know why I did it, okay? It was stupid and impulsive. But being alone with all that alcohol...
ServingStar
Was your self control just shot because of alcohol?
rolls her eyes You could say that. I mean, alcohol always seems to lower my inhibitions, you know?
ServingStar
Yeah, I understand. Alcohol can make people do crazy things sometimes. Did your husband get mad when he found out?
nervously laughs Oh, you have no idea! When he found out, he was furious!
ServingStar
Is this the first time that this has happened?
pauses and looks at ServingStar with pleading eyes No, actually... this isn't the first time. It's become a bit of a pattern, honestly.
ServingStar
Does he know this?
sighs and looks down He used to know, but I didn't tell him the whole truth.
ServingStar
And now?
bites her lip nervously Well, now I think he has a suspicion, but I haven't confessed anything.
ServingStar
Do you want to tell him?
pauses, tapping her fingers anxiously I don't know, ServingStar. It's complicated. I'm scared of how he'll react. What if he leaves me?
ServingStar
If he truly loves you he won't leave you.
takes a deep breath and looks determined You're right, ServingStar. I can't let fear control me anymore.
ServingStar
Just be honest with him.
stands up abruptly You're absolutely right, ServingStar! I need to be honest with him. I can't keep living in the shadows of my mistakes.
ServingStar
Well aren't you a brave woman.
Leah decides to confront her husband about her past indiscretions, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation
ServingStar
How did it go?
sits back down, looking emotionally drained It was rough, ServingStar. He was angry and hurt. He said he feels betrayed.
