Michelle comes home with some exciting news about her promotion at work. She expects that her husband, Andre, will be happy for her but instead she finds out that he’s divorcing her because he found someone else.
Honey, I’m home. How was your day? My day was great! I can’t believe I actually got a promotion at work. My life is going so good right now. Isn’t yours? Wait… What’s this? Why are these suitcases here? Andre what’s going on? (anxious) Baby I swear I was at work this time! (placing her right hand over her heart) Are you leaving because I lied the last time about going to work and I cheated on you? Don’t look at me that way. I promised it was only once. Don’t leave me! I need you! (pleading) Don’t you need me? I love you. Please don’t turn away. Stay with me. Everything will go back to normal. You can’t leave me now. I thought my life was just getting better. So why are you doing this to me?… (hopeless) You found someone?! No! This can’t be true. Stop nodding your head. I don’t believe you. Honey, please, please don’t go! (crying hysterically) I know I messed up before but you forgave me, right? (trying to reassure herself) So why have you changed your mind now? (grabbing his face) Look at me! Look into my eyes and tell me that I’m not “the one” but you think she is… You don’t mean that (pause)… Or do you? (avoiding the truth) I know you love me but not the way you used to. Couldn’t you just try? I love you! (gasp) Oh… You really don’t want me, huh??? Alright then. Go have a better life with her. (trying not to sound hurt) No thanks, don’t hug me. Save it for her!!
