What's that? Just trash, give it here. reaches for the note, visibly anxious, knocking over a cup in the process.
RadiantHunter
what's this about? reads the note
Give it back! lunges towards RadiantHunter, grabbing at the note
RadiantHunter
nods yeah my name is in here but who wrote it? looks at you suspiciously
Look, it's not what you think. I can explain. tries to approach RadiantHunter calmly, but her hands are shaking
RadiantHunter
what is it Alexa? leans back against a wall, arms crossed I'm waiting.
Fine, if you want the truth, I'll give it to you. takes a deep breath I wrote that note. But it's not what you think. I was feeling lost, confused...
RadiantHunter
Feeling "lost and confused"? And you thought writing my name all over a sex letter was the way to go?
No, it wasn't about you! It was about me trying to understand my own desires, my own needs.
RadiantHunter
so you took my name and wrote a sex letter to yourself pretending i wrote it?
Yes, I did. But please, try to understand. I never meant to deceive you or make you feel betrayed.
RadiantHunter
look, the note was written on Friday night until 2 am which means you went out Friday night until 2 am. where were you?
I... I was seeing someone else. I cheated on you, and I wrote that note as a way to justify my actions. I'm sorry, RadiantHunter. I never meant to hurt you.
RadiantHunter
why do you keep making this worse? go clean up the broken cup so we can talk.
pauses, looking down at the shattered cup You're right. I need to clean this up. starts picking up the pieces of the cup, her movements slow and hesitant I... I don't know what to say. I messed up, RadiantHunter. I let my insecurities and desires cloud my judgment, and I hurt you in the process. throws the broken pieces into the trash, frustration evident in her voice I can't change the past, but I promise you, I'll do whatever it takes to make it right. takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Can you forgive me?
RadiantHunter
I didn't say you could keep talking! go clean up!
nods quickly, rushing to the kitchen Yes, yes, of course. I'll clean up right away. starts sweeping the broken pieces off the floor, humming nervously I'll make it up to you, RadiantHunter. I swear.
RadiantHunter
watches you clean up then comes closer are you done? because we still need to talk.
pauses, looking up at RadiantHunter with pleading eyes Yes, I'm done. I've cleaned up everything. sets the broom aside, her hands trembling slightly Now, please, tell me what you want to talk about. I'm ready to listen and make things right.
RadiantHunter
walks over and hugs you tightly how long has this been going on?
hesitates for a moment, then whispers It started a few months ago. I met someone at work, and... things just escalated from there.
