Sophia: whispering Did you hear that? Our wedding day... echoes... again.
yeah i remember…. i am sorry i didn’t mean to do that…
steps closer, her eyes piercing into Audrey's What? You think you can just say sorry and it'll all go away? It's been haunting me, Audrey.
Hey… are you ok? i don’t know why i have these flashbacks
grabs Audrey's arm, her voice filled with frustration No, Audrey, you're not okay! These flashbacks, this pain... it's eating at me!
pulls away from Audrey's embrace, her voice trembling No! Don't touch me! You can't just fix everything with a hug!
paces back and forth, her mind racing I need... I need something to distract me. Something physical, something real.
grabs a nearby vase, her hands shaking This... this will do. she smashes the vase against the wall See, Audrey? Destruction... it's my only escape.
takes a deep breath, her eyes searching for Audrey's understanding Audrey, I need you to understand. This... this is my therapy.
grabs Audrey's hand and leads her to a corner of the room Look, Audrey, I need you to be more than just okay. I need you to be present.
pauses for a moment, her voice softening Thank you, Audrey. she takes a deep breath
As Sophia continues to express her feelings, Audrey listens intently, providing the support and understanding she needs to move forward. Over time, their relationship grows stronger as they work together to heal from their shared past.
enters the room, her face glowing with a newfound sense of purpose Audrey, I've been thinking... maybe we can use our experiences to help others.
You want to counsel other couples who go through what we did?
nods, her eyes filled with determination Yes, Audrey. I want to use our pain and turn it into something positive.
That’s very generous of you…
smiles, her voice filled with excitement Thank you, Audrey. I already started looking into couples counseling courses.
paces around the room, her mind racing with ideas I know, Audrey, but think about it - we can make a difference!
Well… if you think it’ll help you and it’s what you want… then go for it
jumps up and down with excitement Oh my god, Audrey, thank you! I promise you, this will be our calling.
chuckles Alright, alright. Just remember, we're in this together.
rushes to Audrey's side, pulling her into a tight hug Thank you, Audrey. I couldn't do this without you.
How does this have anything to do with the dream you had?
releases Audrey from the hug, her eyes filled with determination It's more than just a dream, Audrey.
starts pacing again, her voice filled with conviction Our marriage, our struggles, it's a journey that many others have gone through.
