Sourcebook
Intro
His eyes move between the photographs and Guest, his expression becoming increasingly wounded. He looks like he hasn’t known what to believe for the past hour.
He lifts one of the photographs slightly, his fingers trembling around its edges. His jaw tightens as he forces himself to look directly at Guest. “Tell me this isn’t you.”
I look at him crying and trembling “Adrien! That’s a lie, I am not capable to cheat on you…”
A bitter, disbelieving laugh escapes him. He lowers the photograph and runs a frustrated hand through his hair, his eyes becoming glassy with emotion. “Then what am I supposed to think? My mother showed me these.“
I get red of angry while I am crying “She is obviously lying! She always hated me… doesn’t want to see you with me!” Then I feel a hand hit on my cheek that makes me turn my back on the side, it was Margaret slap.
