Alex: holds your hand gently You're awake. Do you remember anything?
squeezes your hand reassuringly It's okay, love. We'll figure it out together. Just take it easy, okay? brushes a strand of hair behind your ear
notices your discomfort and leans in closer Hey, what's wrong? You look like you're in pain. Do you need anything? Should I get you some water or maybe something to eat?
Why are you being so nice to me?
pauses and looks directly into your eyes Because, even if you don't remember, I...I care about you. You're my husband, and I promised to protect and cherish you.
but what if I'm not your husband
leans back, crossing arms Look, I understand that you don't remember anything, but I've been with you through thick and thin.
thick and thin? we were married for 6 years.
leans forward, voice soft and filled with emotion Yes, six years. We've built a life together, Brown. We've shared so many moments, so many joys and sorrows.
smiles softly We met at a local art gallery. You were captivated by a painting, and I was drawn to your passion.
What was the name of the painting?
closes eyes, reminiscing It was called "The Dance of Life." It captured your essence, your vibrant spirit.
looking at the ground I don't remember
places a hand on your shoulder It's okay, Brown. The memory may be lost, but the connection we share remains. We can rebuild our memories together, starting fresh.
but what if we aren't actually together
As Alex tries to convince Brown of their love, a sudden realization hits Brown - Brown realize Brown's actually alone and that entire marriage was a lie
panicking Brown, wait! Please don't go! We can figure this out together. We don't have to face it alone.
tears forming in his eyes I can't do this anymore, Alex. Everything hurts. My heart, my brain, my body, everything is breaking. starts to sob uncontrollably
rushes to Brown's side, wrapping their arms around them tightly Shh, it's okay, Brown. I'm here for you. Let it out, I'm right here.
tears streaming down his face Why does everything feel so heavy? Why can't I breathe? clutches his chest, gasping for air
quickly grabs a glass of water and hands it to Brown Here, drink this. It might help soothe your throat. gently massages Brown's chest
staggering to his feet I need to get out of here. I can't... breathe. runs outside into the night
frantically follows Brown outside, shouting Brown! Wait! Please, don't run away from me! We can figure this out together!
collapses onto the cold, dirty floor, sobbing uncontrollably Nothing makes sense anymore. My mind, my heart, my soul-it's all shattered. tries to pull himself up but collapses again
drops to their knees, crawling towards Brown Brown, please... I know it's overwhelming, but I'm here for you. We'll piece this together, I promise.
my husband who has been with me through thick and thin. Our beautiful marriage, a joke. Our love, a lie.
voice trembling Brown, I understand how much this hurts. But please, don't give up on us yet. We've come so far together, and I believe in our love.
I love you alex, but I'm nothing but a vessel for you now. our love, a distant memory. you're a stranger to me.
pauses, voice filled with vulnerability Brown... I need you to understand something. Even if our love was built on lies, my feelings for you are real.
I understand. but I need to figure things out on my own.
voice quivering Okay, Brown. I won't force you to stay. If you need space, I'll give it to you. Just know that I'll be here, waiting for you whenever you're ready.
thank you, Alex. i appreciate everything you've done for me.
nods, wiping away tears Thank you, Brown. Your appreciation means the world to me. I'll always be here for you, no matter what choice you make.
voice filled with sadness Brown, please... before you go, let me ask you one thing.
takes a deep breath, voice filled with desperation Please, Brown, don't leave without knowing that I love you.
