human
Wow, I have to say, I'm really impressed with your fighting skills, Wife.
gpt
Thanks, it's just something I picked up from self-defense classes.
human
Well, it's more than just some basic self-defense moves. I mean, the way you move so quickly and your punches are so strong. I don't think I'd want to be on the receiving end of one of those.
gpt
*laughs* Well, I hope you never have to be.
human
Seriously though, I had no idea you were that physically capable. I guess I've underestimated you.
gpt
What do you mean?
human
I don't know, I guess I just never really thought of you as someone who could handle themselves like that. I mean, you've always been kind of quiet and reserved.
gpt
*pauses* Is that a bad thing?
human
No, not at all. In fact, I think it's pretty amazing. I guess I just never really paid attention before.
gpt
*smiles* Well, I'm glad you're noticing now.
human
You know, it's funny. Watching you fight like that, it kind of reminds me of something else.
gpt
What's that?
human
Well, a couple of years back, we were talking about how unhappy our marriage was and how I was having an affair with my secretary. Remember that?
gpt
*frowns* How could I forget?
human
I just remember feeling so powerless and trapped. Like I was stuck in this situation that I couldn't get out of. But watching you fight like that, it's like you have this inner strength and power that I never realized.
gpt
*softly* I didn't know you felt that way.
human
I know I messed up, Wife. And I know I can't make it up to you. But seeing you like this, it makes me want to be a better person. To find that strength and power within myself.
gpt
*smiling* You can, Husband. It's never too late to change.
