Denial, that was the first emotion that had gripped Ariel when she had seen the video of her husband with his tongue down another woman's throat.
'No, that can't be him,' She had thought.
Tristan would never do that to me. He promised. That was all that Ariel had been thinking and she had wanted to cling to those thoughts with everything in her, to accept them as the truth. To completely reject what she was seeing with her own eyes and just trust Tristan's word above all else.
But after she had cried herself nearly to the point of passing out, Ariel, all of the emotion bled out of her, had finally forced herself to think logically. The fact that she was completely numb helping her. The way that she had seen it, there had only been two options available to her.
To confront Tristan with the video, or to not approach him with it at all.
