Episode 4
Jerry Campbell (FL)
(rubbing her eyes, groggy)
Huh... he’s not here?
She glances at the empty bed, slightly surprised. Then sighs, stretches, and gets up. After freshening up, she heads down to the dining hall. As she crosses the hallway, voices echo... then—)
Jerry Campbell (FL)
(freezes mid-step)
Oh my god.
She stops at the corner, eyes going wide. Coming from the private gym area, the Moretti brothers walk in — all shirtless, wearing just joggers, towels slung over shoulders. Lucien leads, sweat glistening on his sculpted torso. Six-pack on full display. Jerry’s mouth opens slightly, stunned.
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(suddenly from behind, whispering in her ear)
Does he look good?
Jerry Campbell (FL)
(startled, jumping)
Wha—! Mateo!?
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(grinning devilishly)
So you like what you see?
Jerry Campbell (FL)
(flustered, looking away)
Shut up!
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(teasing, circling her)
He look sexy, don’t he?
Jerry Campbell (FL)
(eyes flick to Lucien again before she can stop herself... and nods)
M-maybe…
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(leans closer)
Wanna touch? Test the muscles?
Jerry Campbell (FL)
(raises her hand reflexively, then freezes and glares)
You’re disgusting. And you stink of sweat!
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(laughs, stepping back smugly)
Interesting. Two seconds ago, the stink didn’t bother you
Jerry scowls, but her blush gives her away. Just then, Mateo looks over to Lucien—and his jaw drops slightly.
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(smirking)
Well, well, what’s this?
Enzo Moretti (ML Bro)
(walking up with a towel around his neck)
What?
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(grinning, nudging Enzo)
Lucien’s ears... are pink.
Enzo Moretti (ML Bro)
(mock gasp)
No way!
Lucien glares at both of them, clearly flustered. Jerry coughs and tries to compose herself.
Jerry Campbell (FL)
(clears throat)
You guys... freshen up. I’ll be waiting at the table.
She spins on her heel and walks away — way too fast for someone who’s “totally fine "
Lucien Moretti (ML)
(under his breath)
Let’s go.
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(grinning)
Awwww. He doesn’t want wifey to wait!
Enzo Moretti (ML Bro)
(singing softly)
Whipped already~ And it’s only been a few days.
Lucien Moretti (ML)
(groans, walking faster)
I hate both of you.
He disappears around the corner.
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(turning to Enzo, grinning ear to ear)
Bro.
Enzo Moretti (ML Bro)
What?
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
Lucien is becoming like Dad.
Enzo Moretti (ML Bro)
(blinks)
How so?
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
All serious at work, all lovey-dovey at home.
Enzo Moretti (ML Bro)
You mean…
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
A wife's loyal puppy.
Lucien Moretti (ML)
(from distance)
I can still hear you.
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(calls out)
We love you too, puppy!
Enzo Moretti (ML Bro)
(laughs harder)
Let’s go before he throws a dumbbell at us.
Both brothers burst into laughter as they head to their rooms to shower.
Jerry Campbell (FL)
(muttering to herself at the dining table)
Jerry… how can you think like that?
He’s your husband, yes… but still!
What were you doing? Gawking like a hopeless teenager!
Ughhhh...
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(suddenly appearing from behind)
It’s totally normal, you know.
Wives do admire their husband’s six-packs.
Jerry Campbell (FL)
(startled, nearly jumps out of her seat)
Mateo!!
Stop sneaking up like that!
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(grinning while serving her plate)
You were blushing so hard earlier, we thought we’d need ice packs.
Enzo Moretti (ML Bro)
(walking in, toweling his hair)
Stop it, Mateo.
At this rate, our sister-in-law’s going to turn into a full-on tomato.
Jerry Campbell (FL)
(groans and hides her face in her hands)
Why did I sit here again?
Lucien Moretti (ML)
(stepping in, deadpan tone)
Eat quickly. We’ve got things to do.
Jerry Campbell (FL)
(quickly lifting her head, trying to change the subject)
Right. Uh… I might come home a little late today.
So… cook for yourselves and for myself too.
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(pretending to think deeply)
Hmm. Should we prepare the food, or just your husband?
Jerry Campbell (FL)
(eyes widen)
I am leaving.
Goodbye, crazy house.
Lucien Moretti (ML)
(picks up a spoon and throws it at Mateo’s arm)
Idiot.
Enzo Moretti (ML Bro)
(choking back laughter)
This house is getting livelier every day.
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(laughing while dodging the next spoon)
Admit it, big bro’s falling hard.
Lucien Moretti (ML)
(grabs another spoon, eyes narrowing)
Say that again.
Matteo Moretti (ML Bro)
(raising hands in mock surrender)
Alright, alright.
She’s just your wife. Got it.
Enzo Moretti (ML Bro)
(Laughs out loud)
Jerry Campbell (FL)
(already halfway out the door, muttering to herself)
I swear this house is going to be the death of me.
