Angelina in Shock When She Received the Divorce Papers From Brodie 😱
Angelina: (staring at the envelope, hands trembling)
…What is this?
Brodie: (quietly)
You should sit down.
Angelina:
No. Don’t tell me to sit down. Just tell me what this is.
Brodie:
Angelina—
Angelina: (opens the envelope, scans the first page, freezes)
Divorce… papers?
(laughs in disbelief)
This is a joke, right?
Brodie:
It’s not a joke.
Angelina:
You couldn’t even tell me yourself? You had a lawyer do it?
Brodie:
I didn’t know how to say it to your face.
Angelina:
But you’re standing here now. So say it.
(voice breaking)
Say it.
Brodie:
…I want a divorce.
Angelina:
After everything? After eight years? After promises, plans, a whole life?
Brodie:
Things changed.
Angelina:
No. You changed.
When did you decide this? Last week? Last month? Or have you been pretending for years?
Brodie:
I’ve been unhappy for a long time.
Angelina:
So have I! That’s marriage, Brodie. You don’t just quit when it gets hard.
Brodie:
It wasn’t just hard. I felt invisible.
Angelina:
Invisible? I built my world around you! I turned down jobs, moved cities, defended you when everyone doubted you!
Brodie:
And I’m grateful for that. Truly. But gratitude isn’t love.
Angelina: (tears forming)
So you don’t love me anymore.
Brodie: (long pause)
Not the way you deserve.
Angelina:
Is there someone else?
Brodie:
No.
Angelina:
Don’t lie to me. This doesn’t come out of nowhere.
Brodie:
There’s no one else. I swear. This is about me choosing myself.
Angelina:
Funny how “choosing yourself” always destroys someone else.
Brodie:
I never wanted to hurt you.
Angelina:
But you did.
(holds up the papers)
You shattered me with a signature.
Brodie:
I stayed longer than I should have because I didn’t want to be the villain.
Angelina:
Congratulations. You still are.
Brodie:
Angelina—
Angelina:
No. I need to say this.
I loved you when you had nothing. When you were lost. When you didn’t even believe in yourself.
Brodie:
I know.
Angelina:
And the moment you found yourself… you left me behind.
Brodie: (voice cracking)
That’s not fair.
Angelina:
Neither is this.
(Silence fills the room.)
Brodie:
I’ll stay somewhere else tonight.
Angelina:
Good. Because if you stay, I might beg you… and I refuse to lose what little dignity I have left.
Brodie:
I’m sorry.
Angelina:
So am I.
Sorry I loved you more than you loved me.
(Brodie picks up his keys, hesitates, then leaves. The door closes softly.)
Angelina: (whispers to herself)
Divorce papers…
I didn’t even get a goodbye. 😱
