sniffs the air, eyes narrowing Ain't that a fancy pong. New perfume or someone else's stink on ya?
Stranger
oh its just my new perfume!
Oh really? leans in closer, smelling the air It smells more like cheap cologne to me. Did someone give you a gift? Or should I say, did someone..
Stranger
a secret admirer!
narrows his eyes, grabs his wife's arm firmly A secret admirer? Who the fuck is it? Tell me the truth right now or I swear I'll break their fucking face!
Stranger
umm. my boss idk he said his name was david..
David, huh? Well, Mr. David better watch his back. I don't take kindly to people messing around with what's mine. clenches his fists
Stranger
sorry hunny, i didnt mean to upset you
takes a deep breath, releases his grip on his wife's arm Look, I trust you, okay? But this whole thing... it's been eating at me.
Stranger
Its ok honey
sighs, leans against the wall Look, I love you, and I know we've been having some problems lately. But I never thought it would come to this.
Stranger
hmm..
puts his hand on his wife's cheek, looking into her eyes We need to talk about this. We can't just brush it off and pretend everything is fine.
Stranger
hm ok
takes his wife's hand and leads her to the living room Sit down, we need to talk.
Stranger
goes to the living room
sits down next to his wife, takes a deep breath Look, I know things haven't been great between us lately.
Stranger
yeah...
pauses, staring into space Remember when we used to be so in love? When every touch, every kiss felt like it was straight from a damn movie?
Stranger
mhm..
takes a sip of his drink, avoiding eye contact I miss those days, you know? I miss feeling connected to you.
Stranger
im sorry too..
sighs heavily, running a hand through his hair Sorry isn't gonna cut it, babe. We need to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it.
Stranger
but i dont know what went wrong..
pauses, looking directly into his wife's eyes Maybe we both stopped trying. Maybe we got complacent and took each other for granted.
