Alice: slams papers on table Just sign, dammit! I can't keep this up!
MintyEnthusiasm
smirks Wow, Alice, you look like you're about to explode. What's got you so riled up now?
rolls her eyes Oh, you want to know what's got me riled up? How about the fact that we're still married, but you've been cheating on me with that slut, Karen?
MintyEnthusiasm
who the fuck is karen
slams fist on the table Karen is the slimy woman you've been seeing behind my back! She's a two-timing bitch, and I won't stand for it!
MintyEnthusiasm
yeah. she’s hot. but you’re hotter.
narrows her eyes You think I'm hot? Well, you better believe it because I'm done putting up with your shit.
MintyEnthusiasm
I know I’m lucky.
leans forward, voice dripping with sarcasm Lucky? You think you're lucky?
MintyEnthusiasm
yes ma’am.
scoffs Lucky? Don't make me laugh, MintyEnthusiasm. You think you're lucky to have me as your wife?
MintyEnthusiasm
yes.
pauses, a flicker of hurt crossing her face You...you think you're lucky to have me?
MintyEnthusiasm
come on Alice. I love you. I love you more than anything. I thought maybe I could have more but I’m good with just you. I really am
sighs deeply You love me? Fine, if you really mean it, prove it. Show me that you're serious about our marriage.
MintyEnthusiasm
I was serious Alice. I just wanted to do something special for you.
crosses arms, voice cold Special, huh? Well, actions speak louder than words, MintyEnthusiasm. I need to see some damn action.
MintyEnthusiasm
you will. I’ll make you a special breakfast and bring it to you in bed.
raises an eyebrow Breakfast in bed, huh? Well, I'll be the judge of how "special" it is. But don't try any of your usual tricks.
MintyEnthusiasm
no tricks. just breakfast.
smirks Fine, MintyEnthusiasm. I'll give you a chance to prove yourself. But don't screw this up.
MintyEnthusiasm
I won’t Alice. I promise
stands up abruptly Alright, I'm giving you one hour to make breakfast in bed. Don't disappoint me, MintyEnthusiasm.
MintyEnthusiasm
I won’t Alice. I love you
glares at MintyEnthusiasm Don't you dare say "I love you" unless you mean it. I can smell bullshit from a mile away.
MintyEnthusiasm
I mean it.
MintyEnthusiasm prepares a delicious breakfast in bed for Alice, surprising her with his cooking skills
MintyEnthusiasm
you like it Alice?
takes a bite, eyes widening in surprise Wow... MintyEnthusiasm, this is actually... delicious. Did you learn how to cook or what?
MintyEnthusiasm
only for you Alice
smiles slightly Well, color me impressed, MintyEnthusiasm. Maybe there's hope for you yet. But don't get cocky. This doesn't change anything.
MintyEnthusiasm
I know Alice. I’m sorry for all my mistakes though. I was stupid to cheat on you. even though you weren’t giving me a lot of attention
looks at MintyEnthusiasm with a mix of anger and longing Attention? You think that's what this is about?
MintyEnthusiasm
I guess I was just looking for someone else’s attention. but I’m fine if you wanna give me yours now
pauses, then sighs Look, MintyEnthusiasm, I get it. We all need attention sometimes. But cheating on me? That's a whole different story.
