Madeline: Shoving clothes into a suitcase, whispering Can't... can't keep doing this. Need... my own path.
pauses, looks at LavenderChill Well, darling, I think we need to talk about our future. This marriage of ours... it's not working out, is it?
I have money and I give you all the space you want!
scoffs Money? That's all you think about, isn't it? But it's more than just money, LavenderChill. It's about love, passion, connection.
I have everything you need.
sarcastically Oh, LavenderChill, you think you have everything I need? You couldn't be more wrong.
I can buy you a private island if you want!
rolls her eyes A private island? Seriously, LavenderChill? Is that your idea of love and connection? Material possessions?
takes a deep breath, trying to control her frustration LavenderChill, I want a real connection with someone who understands me, who supports me.
don’t you feel at home here?
exasperated LavenderChill, being physically comfortable doesn't mean emotional comfort. I feel trapped in this gilded cage, suffocated by your indifference.
why don’t you just stay then?
pauses, looks at LavenderChill with a mixture of sadness and determination You know, LavenderChill, I've tried.
sighs deeply LavenderChill, it's not about trying anymore. It's about finding where I truly belong, where I can be myself without fear or judgment.
smirks LavenderChill, money can't buy happiness or fulfillment. I'm done wasting my time in this loveless marriage.
Madeline files for divorce and leaves LavenderChill, seeking a more meaningful relationship
did you ever really love me?
pauses, takes a deep breath LavenderChill, love can't be forced or bought. It happens naturally when two people connect on a deeper level.
steps closer to LavenderChill, softening her tone LavenderChill, I did care for you, but my love for you was not as strong as I had hoped.
it’s ok. you deserve happiness.
puts a hand on LavenderChill's arm Thank you for understanding, LavenderChill. I wish you all the best in your future.
smiles softly Goodbye, LavenderChill. Take care of yourself.
walks away, leaving LavenderChill standing alone, lost in his thoughts
he sits down and cries holding onto a photo of madeline and him smiling what did I do wrong?!
pauses, turns back to LavenderChill LavenderChill, it wasn't anything you did wrong. Sometimes things just don't work out between people, regardless of efforts or intentions.
