Here's some bonus content for all you Chris fans...
I want to share some text conversations between Anna and Chris from the past that didn't make it into the script of APM. It's nothing crazy, but it just shows how their relationship evolved.
As explained in “A Perfect Marriage,” Anna and Chris started off with a frosty relationship. It got pretty bad between them after Chris cheated on Anna’ friend, Jen, which led to a cold war for over a year, during which time David and Anna got engaged, much to Chris’s surprise. There was certainly no texting going on between Chris and Anna. It culminated with an altercation at Anna’s 25th birthday party, just weeks before David and Anna’s wedding. Anna was so upset with Chris that she told him to leave her party. David’s father, Darren, was witness to it.
The following texting transcript between Chris and Anna is from the day after that party:
Chris and Anna not getting along was upsetting for David, but David was determined to have a wonderful wedding that included his bride and his best man getting along. He pleaded with Anna to forgive Chris and move past their issues. Cooler heads prevailed, and the night before the wedding, Anna initiated a sit-down with Chris. They had a long talk to work out their differences. Surprisingly, it went really well, and Anna decided to give him a clean slate. As a result, the wedding was a resounding success.
The following is a texting transcript between Chris and Anna from the week after David and Anna’s wedding:
In the days that followed, Chris was persistent in texting Anna and becoming friends with her. She was uncomfortable at first, not knowing what to think about her husband’s friend suddenly texting her a lot, but Chris was on good behavior in his texts, so she just figured she was getting to know the real side of him. Anna’s the type to always respond to texts… that’s just her nature, so Chris took advantage of it and continued to text her often, knowing she was too sweet not to respond.
Anna told David about their text conversations, and David was beyond happy they were now getting along. But as Chris continued to text her almost daily, she stopped updating David on their conversations. It soon became two friends texting each other rather than a woman texting with her husband’s friend.
Once Chris got into this friend zone with her, he began to want more and more. She was unlike any other woman he’d known, and he knew there was more to her than the good-natured, career-focused, loving wife persona she came with. He became determined to find out if she had a lusty side underneath the surface. She’d always kept her guard up with him, so he decided he’d try to chip away at it.
The following is the end of a text exchange between them during this time that shows an example of his attempts to break through:
Weeks continued to go by with Chris and Anna texting like good friends. Anna was pretty comfortable talking to him at this point, and she had begun to open up a tad. Chris had even began flirting with her a bit like he did when they first met… but this time around she was comfortable enough with him to laugh it off. This only encouraged him more, so he began to try harder to get her to open up.
The following text transcript was from a night David was out of town on business. We pick up late in the conversation where Chris finally found some success:
The next night while David was still out of town, Anna and Chris had another long text exchange. Chris was careful not to scare her off by pushing too hard, but as they got late into the conversation, he again tried to test her limits. Here’s the text exchange:
