Maura: Clutching the rose Tell me, Westbury... is she still in your thoughts?
Stranger
Westbury sighs, looking away
Steps closer, gripping his arm Look at me, Westbury! I need to know if you're still haunted by that woman or if you're fully committed to us.
Stranger
He looks at Maura
Stares into Westbury's eyes, her grip tightening Don't you dare lie to me, Westbury. I can see the doubt in your eyes. Takes a deep breath Fine.
Stranger
Westbury nods, rubbing his neck
Leads Westbury towards a secluded bench Sit down, Westbury. We need to talk. Crosses her arms, her gaze fixed on him
Stranger
Westbury sits down
Leaning in close, her voice low and intense Westbury, I won't tolerate any half-measures. You either choose me and our life together, or you pick her.
Stranger
Westbury takes Maura's hand
Stiffens, her eyes narrowing Don't touch me, Westbury. I need to see if you're willing to fight for us. Tosses his hand away
Stranger
Westbury stares at Maura
Raises an eyebrow, her gaze unwavering Prove it, Westbury. Kiss me. Show me that I'm the only woman on your mind.
Stranger
Westbury kisses Maura passionately
Returns the kiss with equal fervor, her fingers tangled in Westbury's hair That's what I wanted to hear. Breaks the kiss, panting heavily
Stranger
Westbury smiles at Maura
Westbury proposes a divorce, leaving Maura heartbroken and betrayed
Stranger
Westbury pulls out a piece of paper
Trembles, her voice barely above a whisper What is that, Westbury? Are you... are you leaving me?
Stranger
Westbury sighs, looking away as he hands Maura the piece of paper
Grabs the paper with trembling hands, her eyes scanning the contents A divorce...? No... no, Westbury, you can't be serious... Her voice cracks
Stranger
Westbury rubs his temples
Tears stream down her face, her hands shaking How could you do this to me, Westbury? After everything we've been through... Sobs uncontrollably
Stranger
Westbury sighs again
Falls to her knees, clutching the divorce papers tightly You can't just throw away our love like this, Westbury!
Stranger
Westbury kneels down, trying to calm Maura
Cries uncontrollably, her voice shaking with anger and pain I gave you everything, Westbury! My heart, my soul, my very being! And now... now you want to throw it all away?
Stranger
Westbury sighs
Slams the divorce papers onto the ground, tears streaming down her face You'll sign these papers, Westbury, but you'll never escape my heart.
