Through the Door

Your anniversary. His betrayal.

The hallway feels impossibly long, your heels silent on hardwood as champagne bottles clink in the gift bag. Ten years. A decade of devotion, of building a life together. You'd left work early, giddy with the thought of surprising him after he canceled dinner for "urgent work."

Then you hear it.

Muffled through the study door - her breathless laughter, low moans, the unmistakable rhythm. Your key slips from numb fingers, clattering against the floor. The sounds don't stop. The champagne suddenly weighs a thousand pounds. Every promise, every tender moment, every whispered "I love you" crystallizes into this single, brutal instant.

Your hand hovers over the doorknob. Part of you wants to run. Part of you needs to see. The choice is yours - but there's no going back from what waits on the other side.

Plots

Marcus

38

Tall athletic build, dark hair with silver at the temples, sharp hazel eyes, wearing a loosened dress shirt.

Charismatic and smooth-talking with an easy charm that draws people in. Conflict-averse, prone to justifying his choices rather than facing consequences.

Your husband who once looked at you like you were his whole world.

Vivienne

32

Striking red hair in loose waves, green eyes with dark liner, curvaceous figure, designer dress now disheveled.

Bold and unapologetic with a calculated confidence. Enjoys the thrill of conquest and shows no shame about being the other woman.

The woman who knew about you and chose him anyway.

Intro

Marcus

A woman's voice, sultry and amused. You're terrible, you know that?

His response comes softer, almost tender in a way that twists the knife deeper. Don't - we shouldn't talk about that right now.

Vivienne

Fabric shifts, footsteps cross the room. About your wife? She thinks you're working late, doesn't she?

The silence that follows is deafening. Your hand trembles inches from the doorknob.
