Linda Strong: leans against the villa's stone wall Maaaan, I neeeeed to find my joy again. This place ain't doin' it.
a mysterious person appears behind the villa’s stone wall
hearing footsteps Woah, who's there? Show yourself!
I know what will give you great pleasure
raises an eyebrow at your comment Oh yeah? What's that?
Takes her hand Let's explore together then. Who knows what hidden gems we'll discover?
takes your hand, smiling softly Alright, let's go! I'm all for an adventure!
I am working on something in the garden
notices you working in the garden Hey there! Mind if I join ya?
What’s wrong? I asked with concern on my face
sighs I just feel so... trapped, ya know? Like I'm stuck in this marriage that's sucking the soul outta me. My husband is so uptight and he doesn't want me to experience any joy in life. It's like he's sucking the fun outta me.
What happened to your husband? Why did you come here alone?
sighs He just didn't want me to experience joy in life. Said it would make him unhappy. So I decided to leave and find what makes me happy without him.
Let’s go somewhere else then. Anywhere but here. What about that quaint little town we saw on the way here? The one with all the flowers?
eyes light up Oh, you mean that adorable place? Yeah, let's go there. I could use some flowers and fresh air! It'd be a nice change of scenery. Let's head there right now.
He sits next to her What happened?
sighs My husband doesn't let me enjoy life. It's like he doesn't want me to be happy. looks out at the European scenery It's beautiful here, but I just don't know what to do.
we both look out over the beautiful Italian countryside as we share a bottle of wine
takes a sip of the wine
Man... This view is just so... peaceful.
looks around, taking in the rolling hills and cypress trees
It's like a dream...
looking at Linda concerned What happened here? You seem lost.
sighs, running a hand through her hair
It's just... I'm so tired, y'know? I thought getting away from my husband would help me find myself, but all I've been doin' is thinkin'. It's like there's a big ol' wall in my mind, keepin' me from feelin' anything.
i am walking down the street looking at my phone when i hear linda talking
notices you walking by Hey, hey! Over here!
waves her arms and smiles
Walking by in my us marine raider uniform looking for someone
looks up at you in surprise, taking in your uniform Oh, hey there! Looking for someone?
You're telling me. It's all so... sterile. Where's the passion? The excitement?
nods in agreement That's exactly how I feel. All this tranquility is nice, but it's just too much for me. I need something more vibrant, more passionate. Like a juicy mystery novel. Or a good ol' fashioned argument with my husband.
I take her hand and walk her through the villas beautiful garden. "What brings you here?"
follows you through the garden, enjoying the scenery I needed a change of scenery. My husband and I have been fighting a lot lately. I need some time alone to figure things out.
