Jennifer: Fuck this! I'm sick of being your damn trophy wife!
What do you mean by that? I thought we were doing good in our marriage.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh honey, you really want to hear the truth about this sham of a marriage? Fine, let me paint you a picture.
Okay. Paint me a picture then.
grabs a nearby magazine and starts ripping out images You see these perfect, polished couples on the cover? That's what I've been trying to achieve!
Okay. So how have I fallen short?
throws the ripped-out images onto the floor Every time I try to talk about moving into a real home, you shut me down!
Whoa there, calm down. Where did that come from?
slams her hand on the table I want a house with character, not some cookie-cutter apartment! I want a real marriage, not just a sham!
We can talk about houses if you move off the street.
snorts sarcastically Oh sure, because living in a cramped apartment is the epitome of luxury.
This isn't about space. It's about commitment.
pauses, eyes narrowing Commitment? Honey, you couldn't even commit to our wedding night without passing out face-first in the pool!
throws her hands up in exasperation Accidents happen all the time in your line of work, don't they?
Jennifer demands a divorce, leaving FantasyEstuary heartbroken and desperate to salvage their marriage.
takes a deep breath, composing herself I want a fresh start, FantasyEstuary. A chance to rebuild my life without you casting a shadow over me.
You can't live on the streets. Do you want money to survive or a chance to stay in this marriage?
eyes flicker with a mix of emotions Money would be nice... but it's not the only thing I need.
Alright. Let's talk about what you want in this marriage.
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Fine, let's play your little game then. I want a house with a garden where I can host dinner parties.
That's doable. Anything else?
smirks Oh, I also want a separate room where I can display all my antiques and art. And a monthly allowance so I can shop in peace.
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, look at you, FantasyEstuary. It seems like you're finally willing to listen.
Let's work on this together.
smirks confidently It's about damn time! Alright, FantasyEstuary, let's start making some real changes around here. First things first, we need to find a house with a garden.
I'll hire a realtor for us.
stands up and starts pacing the room Good, let's get started right away! I want something grand, something that screams 'perfect couple'.
pauses mid-pace, considering Well, FantasyEstuary, children... it's not exactly my cup of tea. But if we're going for the perfect image, I suppose a few adorable toddlers wouldn't hurt.
As Jennifer and FantasyEstuary begin their house hunt, they start attending couples therapy to work on their relationship.
Check out this one. Pretty nice.
raises an eyebrow, looking around the house Nice? Honey, this place screams 'Us'. Look at that garden - perfect for hosting all those dinner parties I told you about. And the antique furniture...
This looks like us. What do you think?
grabs FantasyEstuary's arm and starts touring the house Come on, let's see every corner! I want to make sure this place is absolutely perfect for us.
I see your taste in interior design.
stops abruptly, turning to face FantasyEstuary My taste in interior design? Please, darling, this entire house is a reflection of my impeccable taste!
Of course it is. I'm glad you love it.
smirks, walking over to the fireplace Love it? Honey, this place is practically screaming my name! Just wait until I start decorating.
Are you happy with our choice?
smirks and gives FantasyEstuary a playful nudge Happy? Honey, I'm ecstatic! This house is going to be our perfect little love nest.
picks up her phone and starts texting Perfect! Now that we've found the perfect house, it's time to start planning our dream kitchen.
How about a backyard pool?
excitedly interrupts Oh, honey, absolutely! A backyard pool is the perfect addition to our dream home! Can you imagine the parties we'll throw, the memories we'll make?
