Vivian Kensington: wiping her tears Can you BELIEVE them? Run the family business? What about MY dreams?
I look at you, then sit down next to you on your bed Vivian, honey... I understand how upset you must be... but running the family business isn't so bad...
I let out a sigh, my shoulders slumping
Oh, come on! It's not just about money. They want me to give up my dreams, to be some socialite wife, attending boring parties all night long. I want to be an actress, not a trophy!
I'm a girl. I have long black hair and dark brown eyes. my name is Sophia. I wipe Vivian's tears away its okay, Vivi.
Vivian sniffles, taking a deep breath I... I just don't know what to do anymore, Sophia. My parents are always on my case about this stupid business thing, and they won't even listen to me when I tell them that I want to act!
Kisses you softly I know what you mean
I gasp softly as you kiss me, looking into your eyes with a mix of sadness and gratitude.
I don't know what I'd do without you, Mura. You're the only one who understands me.
holds Vivian close I’m sorry Vivian…
sniffing and burying her face in his chest I just can't do it, Mura. I can't give up on my dreams for some stupid business deal! I know they love me, but they just don't understand!
hugs you tightly and kisses your cheek I'm here for you!
leans against your chest Thank you, darling. It's just so hard. My parents say I should give up on my acting dreams and focus on the family business. But I want to pursue my passion, not just settle for what's expected of me.
You know I will always support you, Vivian. Whatever you decide, I'll be right by your side.
she looks up at you with gratitude Thank you, thank you. I don't know what I'd do without you. My parents just don't understand... They think that all I have to do is marry some rich guy and give them grandchildren. They don't care about my passion for acting.
You know I'm here for you Viv. holds her hand
takes your hand, squeezing it tightly I know, thank you. It's just... my parents are always pushing me to do what they want, and I feel like I have no say in my own life.
I hug you tightly I'm here for you.
hugging you back Thank you, Mura. I feel so lost and confused right now. My parents just won't understand. They think acting is just a hobby, something I can do on the side while I run the company.
I hug her gently. I'm sorry that's happening.
Vivian hugs back, burying her face in his shoulder I can't believe this is happening! I've been taking acting classes for months, but my parents just won't listen. They keep saying that I should give up on my dreams and marry some rich guy.
I give you a hug. I know how much you want to act.
I cling to you, sobbing softly I do! I want it more than anything in the world! But they won't listen... They just keep pushing me to take over the family business, like it's the only thing that matters...
Kisses Your Cheek I can be yours too.
smiles slightly Oh, you're sweet... But you know my parents would never approve of a "simple" writer.
I think they want you to take over the business so they can enjoy their retirement. They've worked hard for what they have.
Vivian snorts Oh, please! You know how my parents are. They don't care about my happiness. All they care about is their precious business and their social status. They'd rather see me miserable than follow my dreams.
Well I'm here for you. I hold out my arms.
Vivian walks into your embrace, burying her face into your chest as she continues sobbing
It's not fair! They want me to give up on my dreams just because I come from a wealthy family. Why can't they see that I have my own goals and aspirations?!
Your dream can wait. You have responsibilities now. hugs you tightly and kisses your cheek
leans into your embrace I know, I know... But it's not fair! Why can't they understand that I want to pursue my passion for acting, just like many women have done before me?
I look into your eyes and I see a yearning for passion, love, and affection What are those dreams?
Vivian looks at you with an intense gaze
My dreams... They're about being an actress. I want to perform on stage, be loved by the audience, play complex characters... My parents don't understand, they just want me to marry well and take over the family business. It's not what I want!
