Angelina in shock when she received the divorce papers from brodie😱

[Scene: A quiet afternoon. Angelina stands in the living room holding a manila envelope. Her hands tremble slightly as she stares at the papers inside. She hears the front door open and Brodie walks in.]

---

Angelina:
(barely above a whisper)
You want a divorce?

Brodie:
(pauses, sees the envelope in her hand)
Angelina… I didn’t want you to find out like that.

Angelina:
(voice rising)
Then how was I supposed to find out, Brodie? You were just going to drop this bomb and walk away? No explanation, no conversation?

Brodie:
I tried. I’ve been trying. For months. You just… you didn’t want to hear it.

Angelina:
No. Don't twist this. You never said anything. You pulled away, you got quiet, but you never told me things were this bad. How was I supposed to know you were ready to end us?

Brodie:
Because we’ve been living like strangers. You sleep on your side, I sleep on mine. We don’t talk unless it’s about bills or schedules. That’s not a marriage anymore, Angelina.

Angelina:
So you just… gave up? Without even asking if we could fix it?

Brodie:
I did ask. I asked in all the silent ways—when I begged you with my eyes to say something real, when I waited for you to notice I was drifting. But you didn’t. And eventually, I stopped trying to reach for something that wasn’t there anymore.

Angelina:
(choked up)
You think I didn’t notice? You think I wasn’t hurting too? I thought this was just a phase… that if I held on long enough, you’d come back to me.

Brodie:
That’s the thing, Angie. I was already gone. I just… I didn’t know how to say it. I didn’t want to be the villain.

Angelina:
(tears forming)
But you are. You are the villain when you hand your wife divorce papers without even trying to fix what’s broken. You threw in the towel without giving me a chance to fight for us.

Brodie:
You had a chance. We both did. And maybe I should’ve screamed instead of whispered, maybe I should’ve left earlier, but I stayed because I hoped you’d fight too.

Angelina:
So that’s it? It’s over?

Brodie:
(quietly)
I think it has been for a while. We were just pretending it wasn’t.

Angelina:
(voice breaking)
I would’ve gone to therapy. I would’ve done anything. Why didn’t you just tell me you were this unhappy?

Brodie:
Because I didn’t want to hurt you. And now I’ve hurt you anyway. I’m sorry. I really am.

Angelina:
Sorry doesn’t cut it, Brodie. You broke something I thought we could still save. You blindsided me with this. I feel like I don’t even know who you are anymore.

Brodie:
Maybe we don’t know each other anymore. And maybe that’s the saddest part of all of this.

(long silence between them)

Angelina:
(softly)
So what now?

Brodie:
I’ll give you time. Space. I don’t expect you to sign anything today. I just… I wanted to be honest, even if it came way too late.

Angelina:
(nods slowly)
I don’t know what hurts more—the fact that you gave up… or the fact that maybe… I did too without realizing it.

Angelina:
(quiet, cold)
This isn’t just about us falling apart… is it?

Brodie:
(hesitates)
What are you talking about?

Angelina:
(steps closer, eyes narrowing)
Who is she?

Brodie:
(jaw clenches)
Don’t do that.

Angelina:
So I’m right.

Brodie:
It’s not what you think.

Angelina:
No? Then tell me what it is. Because men don’t just wake up one morning and decide to end a ten-year marriage without a reason.

Brodie:
(looks away)
Some truths do more damage than silence.

Angelina:
(voice drops to a whisper)
So there is someone.

(tense silence)

Brodie:
You think you want the truth… but you don’t.

Angelina:
(tears welling up)
Try me.

(Brodie opens his mouth, but stops himself. He turns, walks out the door without another word. The door closes with a sharp click behind him.)
