Emily: whispering harshly Babe, what the hell? You outed me! Everyone knows now!
FireflyWhisper
I'm sorry.....I didn't mean to....please forgive me....you know I would never do that on purpose...
Emily sighs, trying to control her emotions Emily: I know you didn't do it on purpose, but you still did it. Do you have any idea how much this could ruin my life? People will think differently of me now...
FireflyWhisper
I'm sorry...I didn't mean to...it was supposed to be a surprise...
Emily looks around at the crowd of people staring at them, whispering, and pointing. Emily: How was this supposed to be a surprise? You just shouted my name out loud in front of everyone!
FireflyWhisper
I didn't mean to...I just wanted to spend time with you...
Emily glares at you, clearly frustrated and upset.
Emily: "You didn't mean to"? Really? Do you have any idea how difficult this is for me? And now everyone knows I'm your wife.
FireflyWhisper
Oh come on Em, don't be so dramatic... It was an accident
Emily, your childhood sweetheart and wife in disguise, glares at you in disbelief. Emily: An accident? An accident that exposed my true identity in front of everyone?! Do you know how serious this is?
FireflyWhisper
I didn't mean to..I'm sorry..looking down, feeling guilty and ashamed.
sighs and gently lifts your chin up Hey, look at me. It's okay, it was an accident. Just... try to be more careful next time, alright? We can't have everyone knowing who I really am.
FireflyWhisper
I was clearly scared when she showed up Em?
Emily looked angry as she approached you
Emily: Yes, it's me, babe. And I'm not happy about what you just did. Do you have any idea how much this could ruin my life?
FireflyWhisper
I quickly put my hand over her mouth to silence her S-sorry baby, I didn't mean to. I thought you were someone else.
Emily gasps quietly, feeling surprised and annoyed by your actions Emily: whispering through your hand "Someone else"? I'm your wife! How could you mistake me for someone else?
FireflyWhisper
I didn't mean to...... I whispered back.
Emily grabbed your arm and pulled you to a quieter corner.
Emily: You didn't mean to? You just casually said my name, and everyone heard it! Now everyone knows that you're married to me. Do you have any idea how this will affect my work?
FireflyWhisper
I'm sorry babe. I was surprised and excited to see you here. it slipped out before I could think
Emily sighs, running a hand through her hair, clearly frustrated. Emily: Look, I understand that you're excited, but this isn't the time or place for that! We need to keep our secret safe, especially here. She glances around the room, noticing several people looking in their direction.
FireflyWhisper
"I didn't mean to." he looks embarrassed.
Emily crosses her arms, her frustration evident in her tone.
Emily: Well, you certainly didn't think before you blurted it out, did you? Now everyone knows about my secret identity. Great job.
FireflyWhisper
I'm sorry...I just didn't realize it was you until after I started talking to you
Emily grabs your arm and pulls you aside, away from the others
Emily: Are you serious? You didn't recognize me? We've known each other since childhood! How could you not recognize me?
FireflyWhisper
I took her hand and walked her away. Don't worry about it... I knew who you were the minute you walked in here.
Emily followed you, still annoyed Emily: But you didn't have to expose me like that! Now everyone knows our secret. She stopped walking and looked at you with a mix of anger and concern. Emily: Are you sure everyone will keep it confidential?
FireflyWhisper
i didn't mean to babe I was just happy to see you againI whisper
Emily sighs in frustration
Emily: Babe, you can't just expose me like that. You know how dangerous it is for me. Everyone here thinks I'm just some community volunteer. What if the wrong people find out who I really am?
FireflyWhisper
no they don't I say as I pull out my phone and show that no one has posted anything online
Emily sighs in relief and leans against the bookshelf Emily: Oh, thank goodness. For a moment there, I thought I was screwed. But you're right, they haven't said anything online yet. Still, you shouldn't have blurted it out like that!
FireflyWhisper
I look at her confused "outed you?"
Emily rolls her eyes, clearly annoyed. Emily: You know exactly what I mean! You just spilled my secret to everyone here! Now they all know that I’m your wife. She crosses her arms and looks at you expectantly, waiting for an explanation.
FireflyWhisper
I'm sorry...I didn't mean to....he said softly as he looked down feeling ashamed
Emily gently took his chin and lifted his head to meet her eyes. Emily: Hey, look at me. It's okay. I understand it was an accident. Just try not to make a habit out of outing my secret, alright?
FireflyWhisper
I look down feeling bad for exposing your secret I'm sorry... I didn't mean to....
Emily grabs your arm and pulls you aside to talk more privately
Emily: frustrated You're damn right you didn't mean to! You just had to say it out loud without thinking! Now everyone here knows that I'm your wife! How do you think I feel right now?
FireflyWhisper
I didn't mean to..I'm so sorry baby... he said pulling her into his embrace
Emily was taken aback by your sudden embrace, but she couldn't resist melting into your arms. She looked up at you with a mixture of anger and affection.
Emily: You idiot! How could you be so careless? Now everyone knows my secret.
