A Lie Of Omission

Tanya (Charlie Forde) comes home from work, but is greeted by a shocking sight: there are photos of her with her old girlfriend Julie (Dana Vespoli) stuck to the front door and hanging ALL OVER the living room. As Tanya reels from what she’s seeing, her boyfriend Ron (Ken Feels) approaches her, looking slightly unhinged. Still in shock, Tanya demands to know what this is about. Ron angrily insists he KNEW that Tanya was hiding something about her past, so he snooped on her laptop and found her old photos… Photos that show Tanya in a LESBIAN relationship.

Tanya admits that she experimented back in college by having a ‘lesbian phase’ where she dated Julie. Tanya says she didn’t LIE to Ron about anything, she just never TOLD him. But Ron is still furious, saying that a lie of omission is still a lie. He scolds Tanya, saying that covering it up was just as bad, or maybe even WORSE – she’s BETRAYED his trust and tarnished their relationship. He says that’s why he put proof of her SHAME all over the front door and living room to remind her, but that’s not ALL he had planned. He tells her to go to the bedroom, because Julie is there waiting for them.

Tanya and Ron enter the bedroom, and sure enough, Julie is there. Tanya demands to know what’s going on, and asks why Julie is here. Ron says he wants to understand exactly what drove Tanya to have a relationship with Julie – he wants Tanya to SHOW him by having sex with Julie while he watches. Julie doesn’t look surprised, but Tanya is shocked at his suggestion, and even more shocked that Julie seems willing to go through with this.

Julie accusingly tells Tanya that not EVERYONE saw being a lesbian as ‘just a phase’, and not EVERYONE’S lives got better after college like Tanya’s did. Julie says that her life got worse – MUCH worse – after Tanya dropped her like a hot potato. Julie was so heartbroken and devastated from Tanya’s betrayal that her life took a downward spiral… but now Ron has made an arrangement where Julie will have an opportunity for a better life, as long as she participates in his plan. Tanya looks guilty, and tries to apologize to Julie. However, Julie says that she doesn’t want to hear it, telling Tanya that if she really wants to help, then she’ll do what Ron wants, so then Ron will give Julie what SHE wants.

Tanya looks guilty again, and agrees to have sex with Julie while Ron watches them. But the surprises aren’t done yet, because eventually, Ron insists to the women that because they’re making the sex look SO enticing, he might as well join in. And there is still ONE MORE surprise left in store for Tanya…
