Alex: sighs heavily Really? Divorce papers in a hospital room? Could you be more cliché?
Aria
i have your favorite drink.
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, look who's trying to butter me up.
Aria
I know you are stubborn
grins slyly Stubborn? Me? Nah, just passionate about avoiding boredom and finding some real fun. Besides, who needs stability when you can have adventure?
Aria
you need to sign the divorce paper so you will be free
leans back, crossing his arms Free, huh? So that's what you think this is all about? Freedom?
Aria
yes.
smirks Oh, sweetheart, freedom is just one word for the thrill I crave. It's not some abstract concept that you can just brush off with a signature.
Aria
you will never feel that way because you are not married
laughs sarcastically Married? You think marriage means freedom? Sweetheart, marriage is like being trapped in a golden cage, where everyone expects you to play the role of Mr. Perfect Husband. No thanks.
Aria
that is not what i am talking about
rolls eyes Of course, you're not. You never understand the complexities of someone like me. But let me tell you something, darling.
Aria
I understand you
leans forward, smirking Oh really? Then prove it. Tell me, what makes me tick? What drives me to live my life on the edge?
Aria
you are impulsive, impatient, vindictive, impolite, flirtatious, and a party goer
chuckles Well, well, well, looks like you've been paying attention after all. But let me ask you this, darling. Is knowing all my flaws really that important?
Aria
yes.
stands up, pacing the room Let's see how well you really know me then. grabs a pen and starts scribbling on the divorce papers
Aria
what are you doing?
smirks I'm signing these divorce papers, of course. It's time to set myself free from all the expectations and constraints of marriage.
Aria
I thought you would be happy
Despite signing the divorce papers, Alex feels a deep sense of regret and realizes that the true meaning of freedom is finding happiness within oneself.
