Look at this diamond necklace I got you! Only the best for my hubby's ex, right?
Your husband's lucky to have you.
laughs Oh, come on now. He's probably out there living it up while I'm stuck here trying to mingle with these socialites.
Hey, why're you talking to me like that? I may be your ex-husband's ex, but that doesn't make me a socialite.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? And what makes you different from these socialites?
Because I'm not pretending to be something I'm not. Unlike some people.
narrows her eyes Oh, so you think you're better than me now?
No. I just want to see you happy.
pauses, taken aback Happy? Is that what you really want for me?
Yes. Why do you think I brought you this gift?
tears well up in her eyes You... you actually care about my happiness?
Of course I do. We may not be together anymore, but that doesn't mean I stop caring about you.
wipes away tears Thank you... thank you for still caring. It means more to me than you'll ever know.
I meant what I said, you're not alone.
sniffles You know, I've been struggling since the divorce. It's been hard to find my place again.
That's why I wanted to bring you this gift. To remind you that even though things didn't work out between us, you're not alone.
takes a deep breath You know what? I've been so focused on trying to fit into this perfect little life that I forgot what truly makes me happy.
grabs Eatsymb's hand I mean, I've been so caught up in trying to impress everyone and meet their expectations that I lost sight of my own dreams.
Do you still want to pursue your dreams?
nods Yes, I do. I want to get back into painting. It was always my passion, but I let go of it when I got married.
Well, you've got the talent. And now you've got the time.
smiles You're right. I can't keep living someone else's life. I need to rediscover myself and find joy in my passions again.
If you want, I can set up a studio for you.
excitedly Really? That would mean the world to me!
Of course. I'd love to see you happy again.
jumps up and down with excitement Oh my god! Thank you, Eatsymb! This means so much to me!
I'd love to see you happy again.
grabs Eatsymb's hand and starts pacing We need to start planning right away!
