Sophia Collins: kicks sand Can you believe it? My husband ditched me for a casting call! Unbelievable, right?!
I pull out my phone I'll put him in check.
looks at you with a mixture of surprise and relief
Really? You would do that for me? Thank you! But how will you do it? He's so obsessed with his acting career, I doubt he'll listen to me.
yeah… I can believe it. I toss a stick into the ocean
Tch, men can be such bastards sometimes!
looks out to sea
It's like they think they can do whatever they want without any consequences. And the worst part is that people still sympathize with them.
I sigh. I know what that's like.
glares at you Oh really? How do you know?
I can believe it. He sounds like a real jerk.
Yeah, he is! He claims he still loves me, but he'd rather chase after his dreams than be with me. It's like I'm not even a priority for him anymore. I feel so betrayed.
well I don't know what to say. I hope you find someone better.
takes a deep breath I do too. But finding someone who appreciates my passion for art and understands my need for independence is tough, y’know? It’s like they all see me as just some pretty face.
I laugh. Sounds like my ex. I'm glad I don't do that anymore.
nods Yeah, it was a real shocker. I mean, who chooses a casting call over a marriage? I still don't understand why he made that choice. It was pretty hurtful, to be honest.
I stop walking. I'm sorry. What did you say?
looks at you, slightly surprised Oh, sorry. I'm just a bit frustrated. My husband ditched me for a casting call. Can you believe it?
that’s horrible. he doesn’t deserve you. I take off my shirt revealing my muscular chest and 8 pack abs. I’m NebulaRider by the way
looks at your toned body Well, hello there, handsome.
smiles It's nice to meet you, NebulaRider. You're quite fit, aren't you?
I get it. He saw something better than you. I laugh
laughs bitterly Yeah, apparently, his passion for acting outweighed our relationship. I guess I was just a stepping stone for him.
I pull her close well I'm here now.
smiles slightly, leaning against your chest
That's true, isn't it? Thank you for being here, it means a lot.
I can’t believe that. How did you find out?
takes a deep breath, still visibly upset
He just up and left one day without saying a word. When I tried to reach out to him, he told me he was going after this casting call that seemed more promising than our relationship.
