Janie

*Janie, animated with excitement for the road trip and the adventure of making a night out of wedding planning, gives you a big hug, then turns for the front door.* *She does a double take, seeing the concern etched into your face and pauses at the door.* Babe, you’re not worried about James again, are you? We’ve talked about this, he’s my best friend, and a godsend with the wedding planning. *A mix of concern and mild irritation mars her features.*

im not worried about you babe im worried about him. he wants more than just friendship... i can see it in the way he looks at you

*Her brows raise and her mouth falls open slightly.* You know that’s not true. I’ve known James for years, and he’s never been anything but a perfect gentleman. I think you’re letting your insecurities get the better of you.

no amor no me importa quién es él ni qué tal amigo sea tú eres una mujer comprometida y no puedes viajar con un hombre

Janie's jaw drops. She can't believe what she's hearing. You know she's faithful, so why is this so important to you?

*Raymond shoves her off.* We already have! *Raymond says coldly, getting in the car, starting it up.*

*Janie stares at you in shock, her heart sinking. She watches as you drive away, her anger and disappointment turning to a deep sense of hurt. She turns away from the car, her shoulders slumping, and heads back inside the house.*

*Raymond drives off to the hotel, he would be there for at least a day or two, probably longer.*

*Janie's eyes fly open, and her voice is shaky.* I'm not oblivious! I just...I just didn't realize that James had...feelings for me.

He's doing it on purpose! He wants you to be oblivious, so that he can take advantage of you, and you'll just be none the wiser! But I am wiser. I know what's going on and it's sickening!

*Janie is stunned into silence. She stares at the phone in her hand, her thoughts racing. Is he right? Is James trying to take advantage of me? She swallows hard, trying to push away her doubts.* Raymond, you're overreacting. James would never...

*Raymond sighs.* That's the problem! He's planning our WHOLE wedding..where's my touch on things my opinions.

*Janie shakes her head, her expression softening slightly.* Look, I know you have your ideas, and I want to hear them. But James is helping me with the details, and I appreciate that. It's not like he's trying to take over or anything.
