๐ฑ Shocking! Lynette Caught Bethany Searching for the Divorce Papers in Her Room — What Lynette Did Next!
Scene: Lynette’s bedroom. Late afternoon. A drawer is open. Papers are spread across the bed.
Lynette:
Bethany… what are you doing in my room?
Bethany:
—I can explain.
Lynette:
You’re holding my divorce papers. My divorce papers. Explain that.
Bethany:
I wasn’t trying to steal anything! I was just looking.
Lynette:
Looking for what, exactly? The judge’s signature? The date everything fell apart?
Bethany:
Lynette, please. I didn’t mean for you to find me like this.
Lynette:
Oh, trust me, I didn’t plan on finding my sister digging through my private life either.
Bethany:
You hid them in your sock drawer. That’s not exactly subtle.
Lynette:
Because I didn’t want anyone reading them! Especially not you.
Bethany:
I was worried about you.
Lynette:
Worried… or curious?
Bethany:
Both, maybe. You’ve been acting strange for weeks. Quiet. Distant. I knew something was wrong.
Lynette:
So you decided to invade my privacy?
Bethany:
I decided to look for the truth, because you wouldn’t talk to me!
Lynette:
Because it wasn’t your business!
Bethany:
We’re family, Lynette. When did that stop meaning something?
Lynette:
It stopped meaning something when you started going through my things without asking.
Bethany:
I wasn’t trying to hurt you.
Lynette:
Yet here we are.
Bethany:
Is it really happening? Are you and Mark really getting divorced?
Lynette:
You already read the papers. Why ask?
Bethany:
Because I wanted to hear it from you.
Lynette:
Yes. It’s happening.
Bethany:
Why didn’t you tell me?
Lynette:
Because every time something falls apart in my life, you swoop in like you’re the expert on how I should feel.
Bethany:
That’s not fair.
Lynette:
Isn’t it? You always think you know better.
Bethany:
I think I know when my sister is hurting.
Lynette:
Then you should’ve knocked. Or asked. Or waited until I was ready.
Bethany:
I was scared you’d never be ready.
Lynette:
This wasn’t your decision to make.
Bethany:
I know. And I’m sorry. Truly.
Lynette:
Sorry doesn’t magically make this okay.
Bethany:
What can I do to make it right?
Lynette:
First? Put the papers down.
(Bethany slowly places the documents back on the bed.)
Bethany:
Okay.
Lynette:
Second? Don’t ever go through my room again.
Bethany:
I won’t. I promise.
Lynette:
And third… next time you’re worried about me—talk to me. Not my drawers.
Bethany:
Deal.
(A pause. The tension softens.)
Bethany:
Are you… are you going to be okay?
Lynette:
I don’t know. But I will be. Eventually.
Bethany:
You don’t have to go through it alone.
Lynette:
I might actually take you up on that. Just—on my terms.
Bethany:
I can do that.
Lynette:
Good. Now get out of my room before I change my mind.
Bethany:
Fair enough.
(Bethany turns to leave, then stops.)
Bethany:
Lynette?
Lynette:
Yeah?
Bethany:
I really am sorry.
Lynette:
…I know.
against it, eyes closed.)
Lynette (whispering):
Finally… alone.
(She walks back to the bed and gathers the divorce papers, straightening them with shaking hands. As she does, something slips out from between the pages.)
Lynette:
What is this…?
(A folded note. Not hers.)
Lynette (reading silently):
“You shouldn’t be hiding this from her.”
(Her breath catches.)
Lynette:
That wasn’t there before.
(She flips the note over. A date is written on the back. Tomorrow’s.)
(Slowly, Lynette turns toward the open window. The curtains move slightly, even though there’s no wind.)
Lynette:
Bethany…?
(No answer.)
(Down the hallway, a door creaks shut.)
(Lynette grips the papers tighter, realization setting in.)
Lynette (softly):
She didn’t just find them…
She was looking for something else.
