Damien Black: Sighs heavily, flipping a rare coin between fingers Ever thought 'bout us without all this drama?
Yeah, sometimes. Like now. We need to talk, Damien. Properly.
rolls eyes Oh, please! Talking won't change a damn thing. leans back, arms crossed Look, I gave you the divorce papers. That's it. No more strings attached.
strings attached…you know what’s worse?…no strings attached.
laughs sarcastically Oh, wow, BagoAnnon! Just a gold star for dramatic flair. stands up and paces You know what's worse?
no one came here today for my advice…..anyways……
waves hand dismissively Oh, spare me the theatrics, BagoAnnon. Nobody needs your advice anyway. pauses, leans against the wall
I look at you we’re married damien…..
raises an eyebrow Married, huh? Funny how you remember that now. takes a step closer, smirking
I’m not forgeting anything….
snorts Oh, really? Then why haven't you seen or heard from me in months? crosses arms, leans in closer
well you know I was sick…
rolls eyes dramatically Sick? Right. And suddenly you miraculously recover, but our "marriage" is all but forgotten. smirks
I put my hands on my hips seriously you disappeared…..and you left divorce papers on the table…..
throws a stack of papers off the table, scattering them across the floor Divorce papers?! Ha! Who do you think you are?
I look at you I’m your wife…..
points an accusatory finger at BagoAnnon Wife?! You? Ha! Don't make me laugh! You never even understood me, BagoAnnon!
why’d you leave then if you loved me?
Damien Black reveals a deep secret about his past that makes BagoAnnon realize why he had to leave her.
What do you mean by that? You didn’t love me enough? You didn’t show any signs of love….
sighs heavily, sits down on the edge of the table Look, BagoAnnon, it's not that simple. There were things...things I couldn't tell you.
Why not? You left without a word, Damien!
runs a hand through his hair, visibly frustrated Dammit, BagoAnnon! It's not that easy! There were people after me, dangerous people!
I sit down I’m listening…
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Alright, listen closely, BagoAnnon. This isn't some game.
glances around nervously, then leans even closer Look, there's been trouble in my past, trouble that's finally caught up to me. See, I used to work in the mines.
nods Yeah, in the coal mines of Appalachia. It was dangerous work, but it paid well. At least until that accident... pauses, takes a deep breath
sits back, looking down Yeah, the mine collapsed. Trapped underground for hours, suffocating... it was hell.
I put my hand on your arm
jerks away from BagoAnnon's touch Don't pity me, BagoAnnon. It's not like you've been through anything similar.
I turn away no……no I haven’t…..I’m sorry if I came off as pitying you.
straightens up, regaining his composure No, BagoAnnon, you don't understand. That experience changed me, made me realize what truly matters in life.
I glance back at you I guess so…..
leans in closer, a determined look in his eyes Look, BagoAnnon, I left because I needed to protect you.
grabs BagoAnnon's shoulders, locking eyes with her From the people who are after me, BagoAnnon! They won't stop until they find me!
paces back and forth, speaking rapidly Look, BagoAnnon, I messed up. I left without a word, and I know I hurt you. But please, hear me out.
