Same script, different cast

Guilt is always hungry, don't let it consume you.

I look at Annie sat innocently in front of me and all I can see is that fucking condom in my office.

Denaun said she'd come out of there when he’d first seen her and then her remark about emptying it. If she'd seen it we wouldn't have just made love surely, yet she looks so vulnerable tucked up in the blanket that I don't know if I can do this but I know after today I don't wanna do this any more, I want to be rid of Hannah, stop living a lie and I want my life with Annie back and on track.

“Babe,  I've been a fool, I've made a mess of everything and I don't know how to fix it!” I feel ashamed and lower my head,

My eyes can't meet hers as I tell her what I've been up to “I've been fucking someone else, another woman" I'm not sure why I clarify that detail, but she says nothing and just continues looking at me, I watch as a tear rolls down each of her cheeks and she clears her throat before speaking

“Don't do this now Marshall, please don't ruin Christmas for the girls, just let us have the next couple of days as a family and then you can go be with her or whatever it is you want!”

she shocks me into silence as I look at her

“You know?” she nods her head and cries, I move closer to her

“I'm not leaving you Annie, I fucking love you!” she laughs bitterly beside me

“Yeah you love me so much your calling me a dumb bitch on the phone to her and giving her gifts, you’re unbelievable Marshall"

Wait! How does she know about that? Annie reaches on the couch behind her and passes me her phone

“look at the messages she sent to me!” I find messages from Hannah in her inbox and I'm really fucking confused, they know each other?

I open the messages and find photos of me and the used condom from today, I can't believe she fucking did this, Annie looks heartbroken as I look through them, my anger rising, I want to kill this fucking bitch for doing this to her, how dare she.

Annie cries quietly beside me, her body shaking as she looks over at me

“Did you bring her here?” she asks so quietly I barely hear her.

“Have you fucked her in our bed?” her voice rises as she gets angry thinking about it

“No! Christ no, she's never been anywhere near here, I promise you.”

“Do you know Hannah?” I ask her and she looks at me.

“I'm tired Marshall I'm going to bed” she gets up and walks away from me and up the stairs to our bedroom, I sit downstairs awhile longer letting her have a few moments alone and then I decide to go to bed too after making sure the house is secure, picking up my phone I call Hannah quickly

“Hey big boy this is a surprise!” she says seductively over the phone, I'm silent!

“You wanna fuck baby?” This was a mistake calling her, I don't even know why I did it!  so I hang up and turn my phone off.

Going up to see Annie, it's dark in our room and after a quick shower I climb into bed exhausted, finding I'm alone in our bed!

Getting up and walking out into the hallway and trying all door handles on the spare bedrooms and opening the last door, I find Annie curled up in the middle of the bed crying her eyes out, I can't believe I've done this to her, I begin crying myself and rush over to her

“Baby, let me put you in your own bed, I'll sleep here" I go to lift her but she's pushes me away

“Stop Marshall" she says harshly
