Frida, couldn't believe her eyes when she opened the door and saw Arne standing in front of her. Without thinking she slams the door back in Arne's face and then looks at me shocked...completely pale on her face. Her legs are shaking and quickly give in as she slides down against the door and sits on the floor, while Arne bangs at the door demanding to be let in.
"Frida open the door!" he shouts. I get up and walk over to her and don't know what to say od do, so I just manage to whisper
"Frida... "
She looks at me and suddenly some sort of courage or anger builds in her and she shouts
"You left me, go where you came from!"
"Frida, let me in!" Then with a quieter voice "People are staring, let me in so we can talk about it face to face..."
"Oh, now you want to talk?! You didn't care how people were staring at me when you left!"
"Frida! It's my house! You let me in right now!"
"It's stopped being your house when you left me without a word!"
"I never did such a thing! Stop being stupid and open the door or I will break it!" and he starts banging the door even harder, so I finally shout
"Hey Arne! Its Beth here! I am here with Frida... "
"Beth?!"
"Yes... Do you think you can maybe give us a moment without shouting? I will try and talk with her for you?"
"Ok, but be quick! I am waiting here!"
"Ok..."
"I am not letting him in here Beth." Frida says putting her arms around her chest, looking like a stubborn little baby..."
"Frida... Nobody says that you need to take him back in... For what he has done, he should be expecting you to be already married to another eligible man and carrying his baby right now..."
"Yeah, exactly!" She nods her head approving and I continue
"He has no claim to you, not anymore, not after the foul thing that he has done... "
"True"
"I honestly don't think there is any point in you two even talking..."
"That's right"
"With what he has done, he has only proven how unfit husband he is... we should speak to your father the Jarl and have him executed, right now! "
"Wait... What?"
"Or better, let's take the opportunity that he is here before he runs away. Shall I hold him down and you run to your father or would you prefer to slit his throat yourself now?"
"Beth... I think that's too much..."
"Too much?! For abandoning you? Leaving without a word..."
"Well, he might have mentioned something..." Frida starts defending him
"Still even if he had mentioned something, that is so good to leave you like that in front of the whole village, what you have gone through in the eyes of people?"
"Well, they didn't really know... I did tell them he left trading..."
"So you don't think he needs to be punished for all of this?!"
"Well, maybe I should listen to his side of the story first before making and harsh judgments or making decisions I might regret..." she says calmly
"Ok then... It is your choice to let him in here now and just properly discuss that now... Because that is what you want, is it?"
"Yes Beth, I really need to talk to him... Let me open the door and let him in, so the neighbours won't stare at him..."
