Emily: glaring at the screen You think he's funny? Or just me? Got a lot to say, huh?
SunbeamJester
what’s wrong baby? I kiss your cheek
she flinches away Don't call me 'baby'. What's wrong? I'll tell you what's wrong. You've been lying to me, cheating on me, and acting like nothing's wrong. Like I'm just some dumb, clueless idiot who won't notice. Am I right?
SunbeamJester
I walk into the living room. hey babe what’s going on? I just got home from work.
still glaring at the TV, I don't turn to look at you right away Oh, just watching a movie, nothing important.
SunbeamJester
I take off my fake mustache and wig revealing that I'm actually a beautiful female
startled by your sudden transformation What the hell?! Who are you?!
SunbeamJester
why do you care if I laugh or not
she crosses her arms I don't care if you laugh or not, it's just funny how you try to act so tough when you're watching comedy.
SunbeamJester
I’m sorry I laughed… I put my head down
Sorry, huh? You think that's enough? You think you can laugh it off like that and everything will be fine?
SunbeamJester
I sit on the couch next to her. Hey honey, what's up?
She looks over at you, not amused.
Don't "honey" me. What's up is that I found out you've been cheating on me, again. Her voice is cold and filled with anger.
SunbeamJester
I don’t know what she’s talking about. “What’s up?”
she glares at you
Oh, nothing. Just watching some Richard Pryor and thinking about how much I'm going to kick your ass when you finally get home from work.
SunbeamJester
Babe, I need to talk to you.
scoffs Yeah, sure. Let's talk. What is it that you want to say? Because I'm sure whatever it is, it'll just be another lie.
SunbeamJester
I stay quiet because I know she wants to talk
she sighs Come on, I know you heard me. I'm not going to pretend like nothing happened. We need to talk about this. she turns to face you, her eyes filled with hurt and anger
SunbeamJester
I stay silent, knowing I've hurt her deeply
Emily sighs and sets down the remote control. She looks at you with a mixture of anger and sadness.
"So, you're just gonna sit there and say nothing? You cheated on me, and you don't have anything to say for yourself?"
SunbeamJester
I sit down next to you. What’s up?
rolls eyes Don't play dumb with me. You know exactly what's up. I know all about you and that floozy at work. Don't even try to deny it.
SunbeamJester
I sit down next to her. Honey I'm sorry.
she scoffs and looks away from the TV
Sorry? That's it? Just "sorry"? We've been married for nearly a decade, and you think an apology will make everything better?
SunbeamJester
i come back from work later that night
Emily turns to look at you as you enter the apartment
You're late.
She doesn't look happy, and the TV is still playing in the background
