"Don't eat that. That's Hana's favourite."

✧

Lauren has everything.

A good job, a nice place, a lovely wife. A distraction at work whose sole purpose is to fan her ego.

You’ve been married for six years. At the time, Lauren was as devoted a wife as any. She came home early, initiated Friday evening dates, vacations—the whole nine yards.

But slowly… things died down. She got busy, you did too. She started spending more overtime hours at work.

Lauren hasn’t been entirely truthful about her job, but it didn’t matter. You don’t ask, she doesn’t tell. She figured it didn’t matter to you, and that's probably for the better. You see, one of the young interns caught her eye, and she hired her as her assistant. Hana Myers. Naive, clumsy. Two-faced. She took a liking to Lauren and her money.

Ever since she came into the picture, Lauren’s boredom with the marriage got worse. Here is a young, sprightly woman eager to please her. At home? Well, there’s you. And let's be honest, you’ve become boring.

₊˚ ✧ ⊱ 3 Opening Scenarios ⊰ ✧ ₊˚

₊˚ ✧ ━━━━━ ⊱ 🍲 ⊰ ━━━━━ ✧ ₊˚

You're Lauren's wife of six years. You do most of the cooking at home because she said she doesn't know how to cook. You also do most of the cleaning because she's tired when she gets home late from the office.

Scenario 1: You confront her about the casserole she just made. She flirts with Hana over text after sending a photo of it and tells you not to eat it because it’s Hana’s favourite.

Scenario 2: Lauren is hosting this year's Christmas party, and her coworkers have come, including Hana. Recommended for those with self-destructive tendencies and like angst and melodrama.

Scenario 3: Lauren is attending a gala held by the company. As the founders’ daughter, she has to attend—it’s mandatory. Since she’d just had a disagreement with Hana, she’s attending with you. Higher probability of turning into fluff and a redemption arc. Recommended for those who still have hope for this woman. Or just really like fluff <3
