00:04Mrs. Muller, we have a situation.
00:06Photos of Mr. Muller with Isabella Rossi surfaced an hour ago.
00:09Hand-holding, intimate dinner, her head on his shoulder, in the back of his car.
00:13I'll handle it. Send me everything.
00:15The next three hours blurred together in a familiar dance of damage control.
00:20By 10 a.m., I was dressed in my armor,
00:22a tailored Navy suit that made me look competent and unshakable.
00:28I could feel the undercurrent of whispered conversations and stolen glances.
00:33The elevator ride to the 42nd floor felt endless,
00:37each floor a reminder of how high I'd have to fall if this all came crashing down.
00:50Pathetic.
00:50Good morning to you too, Lucas.
00:52Is this what you've reduced yourself to? A security guard?
00:55I'm managing a situation.
01:03Camila, I wasn't expecting you.
01:05The photos.
01:05Handled?
01:06Handled.
01:07Jesus, you two sound like robots.
01:09We should go home, it's been a long morning.
01:11Yes.
01:18You're cold.
01:22Vincent, I...
01:23Sit.
01:24You've been running around all morning cleaning up my mess.
01:26The least I can do is make sure you eat.
01:28I sat there,
01:29wrapped in his warmth and watching him try to take care of me.
01:32I knew it wouldn't last.
01:34It never did.
01:36But for now,
01:37maybe,
01:38just maybe,
01:39things could be different.
01:45The charity gala was a pagirate of glass and light.
01:49His touch was practiced.
01:51Fingers spread just enough to claim me,
01:54not enough to bruise.
01:56Mr. Muller!
01:57Camila!
01:58Over here!
01:59Smile.
02:00Let them see how happy we are.
02:13Quite the show.
02:14You two really should win an award for best performance.
02:18Is it working?
02:19For them,
02:19maybe.
02:20For you,
02:21I doubt it.
02:31Hey,
02:32you got a minute?
02:34Look,
02:34about the gala,
02:35I screwed up.
02:36I know those photos made it worse for you.
02:38I didn't think...
02:38Didn't think?
02:38Or didn't care?
02:40Both, maybe.
02:41I was angry with Vincent.
02:42But you're the one who gets burned,
02:44and that wasn't fair.
02:46So,
02:47I'm sorry.
02:51I appreciate it.
02:52If you need me for anything,
02:55just say the word.
03:04Camila,
03:05we were just finishing up.
03:06Camila,
03:06I didn't expect you.
03:10I'm here about the press coverage.
03:14Of course.
03:16Here.
03:18Macaroons.
03:19From that place on spring you like.
03:21Thanks.
03:22You've been running all day.
03:23Sit.
03:25I hadn't mentioned that bakery in months.
03:27Was this guilt?
03:29Or something more?
03:37Did his hands ever linger on Becky's hair?
03:39Gentle in the private dark.
03:41Was I only a stand-in?
03:45Sorry.
03:46I didn't mean to...
03:47It's fine.
03:47You should eat.
03:48You missed lunch.
04:00That night,
04:01I waited until midnight for Vincent to return.
04:03When he finally staggered through the door,
04:06the air was thick with whiskey and rain.
04:07Why don't you ever get mad at me?
04:09Why do you never fight?
04:10Never yell?
04:11Never care enough to hate me?
04:15Vincent, I...
04:16You clean up the messes,
04:17smile for the cameras.
04:18Do you even feel anything?
04:19Or am I just another job to you?
04:22Would you rather I scream?
04:25Would that make you feel better?
04:26At least then I'd know you're alive.
04:29You want me to fight for you.
04:32But you never gave me anything to fight for, Vincent.
04:35Not really.
04:37Not really.
04:43I'll come.
04:44Give me half an hour.
04:46I have to go.
04:47Don't wait up.
04:52He's gone.
04:53Again.
04:54I should be used to this by now.
04:58The moment he heard Becky,
05:00his entire body had changed.
05:01What had I been thinking?
05:03That a home-cooked meal could compete
05:04with whatever crisis had summoned him to her side?
05:12Let me guess.
05:14Emergency meeting?
05:16Something like that.
05:19Well, seems like a shame to let all this go to waste.
05:24Lucas, you don't have to...
05:25What, sit here and pretend everything's normal?
05:27Trust me, Camilla, I've had plenty of practice.
05:33Jesus, Camilla.
05:35This is restaurant quality.
05:36It's nothing special.
05:37Just a recipe I found.
05:39Bullshit.
05:40You've been cooking like this for two years, haven't you?
05:42All those dinner parties,
05:43all those casual meals for Vincent's business partners?
05:46I enjoy cooking.
05:47And he just leaves.
05:50Every time.
05:51He has responsibilities.
05:53Responsibilities.
05:54Right.
05:56You know what's funny?
05:57Growing up, Vincent used to talk about having a real family someday.
06:01Sunday dinners,
06:02kids running around,
06:03the whole domestic fantasy.
06:07People change.
06:08No, Camilla.
06:09He's afraid of you.
06:10You're everything he thought he wanted,
06:12but was too much of a coward to actually accept.
06:17You don't know what you're talking about.
06:20You're the only real thing in this house.
06:24Lucas.
06:25You deserve better than this.
06:27You deserve someone who sees what they have
06:28instead of chasing shadows.
06:33This is the best meal I've had in years.
06:40A woman's laugh.
06:41Not mine.
06:43Never mine.
06:44Oh!
06:45Camilla, there you are.
06:46I was just freshening up the flowers.
06:48I hope you don't mind.
06:49Vincent gave me a key.
06:51I see.
06:52That's thoughtful of him.
06:54He's always been so considerate.
06:57Even back in college,
06:58he'd leave his dorm key under the mat
06:59so I could surprise him with dinner.
07:01Some things never change, do they?
07:03She's marking her territory,
07:05and I'm standing in it.
07:07The house is lovely.
07:10Very domestic.
07:12So different from what Vinet used to prefer.
07:15People's tastes evolve.
07:16Do they?
07:17Or do we sometimes settle for what's safe,
07:19what's expected?
07:20I suppose there's comfort in predictability.
07:25You found each other.
07:27Good.
07:28Vincis,
07:28Becky mentioned you gave her a key.
07:30She's going through a difficult time.
07:32Her apartment flooded,
07:33and she needed somewhere to stay.
07:35I thought...
07:36I don't want to impose.
07:38I know how important privacy is for newlyweds.
07:41But Vincent insisted.
07:42He's always been my knight in shining armor.
07:45I should let you two catch up.
07:48Actually, I was hoping you could show her around,
07:49help her get settled.
07:51Help her get settled?
07:53In my home?
07:55With my husband?
07:56Of course.
07:57I'd be happy to.
08:01The afternoon,
08:03I realized with crystal clarity
08:05that I was no longer a wife in this house.
08:08I was a guest in my own life.
08:12I caught glimpses of Becky,
08:14sitting on my favorite armchair.
08:16One of my silk scarves
08:17knotted loosely at her throat.
08:19She wore it with the casual otoyity
08:21of someone who'd never had to ask for permission.
08:25Vincent, Becky has been using my things.
08:27This is our home.
08:28I thought...
08:28Camilla.
08:29You're jealous, aren't you?
08:30I'm not jealous.
08:31I just want to be treated like I matter.
08:32You're being dramatic.
08:33Grow up.
08:44You don't mind if I borrow this, do you?
08:46Vincent said you never wear it.
08:47I'd appreciate it if you ask first.
08:49Oh, I thought you wouldn't care.
08:51You seem so...
08:53accommodating.
08:57I saw her take your necklace.
08:59She wouldn't even look at you when you spoke.
09:02Vincent says I'm being petty,
09:03that I'm jealous.
09:04He's blind.
09:05He doesn't see what she's doing.
09:08Or maybe he does,
09:10and he doesn't care.
09:11You shouldn't have to live like this.
09:13You're not a servant.
09:15What choice do I have?
09:18You always have a choice.
09:20The words rattled inside me,
09:22echoing long after Lucas left the room.
09:27Don't wait up.
09:28Dinner at Le Jardin with Becky.
09:30Le Jardin.
09:31The most expensive restaurant in the city.
09:33No apology.
09:41For the first time,
09:42I'm not waiting for him to come home.
09:46I'm walking away.
10:05What the hell?
10:07Camilla!
10:08Camilla, where are you?
10:11Camilla!
10:13I'm leaving.
10:14I'll file for divorce.
10:16She's gone.
10:17Maybe she's just...
10:18Camilla's gone.
10:19She left her ring.
10:21Call her.
10:22Right now.
10:3717 missed calls.
10:3912 voicemails.
10:40I turned off the phone
10:42and set it on the nightstand.
10:43The silence was overwhelming,
10:45but it was mine.
10:50How did you find me?
10:52Hotel loyalty program.
10:53Vincent's been calling
10:53every place in the city.
10:55I figured you'd choose
10:55somewhere he'd never think to look.
10:57I was right.
11:00You don't have to do this alone.
11:02I know a lawyer.
11:03She'll help in the divorce proceedings.
11:05And I found you an apartment.
11:07Why are you helping me?
11:09Because you deserve better.
11:11And because...
11:13Camilla!
11:14I know you're in there.
11:15Open the door.
11:16We need to talk.
11:18Camilla, please.
11:20Just open the door.
11:21Whatever's wrong,
11:22we can fix it.
11:23I'll handle him.
11:25Tomorrow.
11:26I'll face him tomorrow,
11:27but not tonight.
11:34Camilla,
11:34you can't just throw away
11:35two years of marriage
11:36because you're having
11:36some kind of breakdown.
11:38I'm not having a breakdown,
11:39Vincent.
11:39I'm finally thinking clearly.
11:40You're being manipulated.
11:42Lucas got in your head,
11:43didn't he?
11:43This has nothing to do
11:45with Lucas.
11:46This is about me.
11:48About what I want
11:49for my life.
11:53Baby, we can work on this.
11:54Don't throw us away, please.
11:56I'll be filing
11:56for divorce next week.
11:59Open this door, Camilla!
12:00You can't decide this
12:02on your own!
12:03Vincent had finally left
12:04after hours of pleading,
12:06demanding,
12:07threatening.
12:10Apartment ready.
12:11Come when you want.
12:16It's perfect.
12:19I never thought
12:20you'd actually do it.
12:21Leave?
12:22Stand up for yourself.
12:25I almost fade away.
12:26But you didn't.
12:27You're here.
12:29You're free.
12:34Who ordered this?
12:35Mr. Muller said
12:35the old locks were inadequate.
12:43He's marking his territory.
12:45Even here.
12:47That day,
12:48I discovered
12:49just how deep
12:50his surveillance ran.
12:51Every purchase,
12:52every withdrawal,
12:53every automatic payment,
12:55all of it tracked,
12:56monitored, analyzed.
12:57I need to close
12:58all accounts linked
12:59to my husband.
13:00Open new ones.
13:01Today.
13:08Did you get them?
13:09Jasmine was always
13:10your favorite.
13:10Vincent, you need to
13:10stop this.
13:11You're embarrassing me.
13:12I'm trying to show you
13:12how much you mean to me.
13:13Our marriage is over.
13:22Camilla,
13:23we need to talk.
13:24I've said everything
13:25I need to say.
13:26You haven't said anything.
13:27You just ran away
13:28like a child.
13:29You won't answer my calls.
13:30You won't see me.
13:31Because I don't want
13:31to see you.
13:32You're my wife.
13:33You can't just decide
13:34our marriage is over
13:35without even trying.
13:36I tried, Vincent.
13:37For two years.
13:39Becky's gone.
13:40I chose you.
13:41You don't get to choose now.
13:43It's not your choice to make.
13:45Stop making a scene
13:46and come home with me.
13:48Take your hands off her.
13:49This is between me
13:50and my wife, Lucas.
13:52Stay out of it.
13:53Let go of her.
13:54Now.
13:54She belongs with me.
13:56She belongs to herself.
13:58You did this.
13:59You turned her against me.
14:07Hello, Camilla.
14:09How did you get in here?
14:11Building manager.
14:13Everyone has a price.
14:14You can't just break
14:15into my home, Vincent.
14:17Camilla, your home is with me.
14:18We need to talk.
14:19I have nothing to say to you.
14:21But I have things to say to you.
14:23I know you've been
14:23talking to someone.
14:25Getting advice.
14:26Maybe even getting comfort.
14:27What you mean?
14:29Don't lie to me, Camilla.
14:31I had you followed
14:32for the past two weeks.
14:33You're insane.
14:34Am I?
14:35Let's see what secrets
14:36you're keeping.
14:41This is interesting.
14:43Lucas left it here
14:44by accident.
14:45How long have you been
14:46sleeping with my brother?
14:47I'm not sleeping
14:48with Lucas.
14:51Don't you dare touch me.
14:52You want to know
14:53the truth, Vincent?
14:54The truth is that
14:54Lucas has shown me
14:55more kindness
14:56in two weeks
14:57than you showed me
14:57in two years of marriage.
15:00You do want him!
15:01You want my brother!
15:04Camilla!
15:06Camilla, are you okay?
15:07Go away, Lucas.
15:09This doesn't concern you.
15:11Get away from her.
15:12She's my wife, Lucas.
15:14My wife.
15:15Your ex-wife
15:16who asked you
15:17to leave her alone.
15:19You turned her against me.
15:20You poisoned her mind
15:21with your
15:22I didn't have to turn her
15:23against anything.
15:23You did that all by yourself,
15:24brother.
15:25You've always been jealous.
15:26Always wanted
15:27what was mine.
15:28First the company,
15:28now my wife.
15:30Your wife?
15:31When was the last time
15:32you treated her
15:33like a wife
15:33instead of a convenient accessory?
15:35When was the last time
15:36you even looked at her?
15:38Really looked at her?
15:40instead of through her?
15:45Don't.
15:47Don't make this worse
15:47than it already is.
15:51Stop!
15:52Both of you, just stop!
15:57You broke my nose.
15:59Good.
16:00Maybe now you'll remember
16:01what it feels like
16:02to be hurt.
16:03Camilla, please.
16:04I can change.
16:06I can be better.
16:07If you don't leave right now,
16:08I'm calling the police.
16:10You wouldn't.
16:12Try me.
16:13This isn't over.
16:14Yes, it is.
16:15It's been over for a long time.
16:16I was just too afraid
16:17to admit it.
16:18You'll regret this, Camilla.
16:19Both of you will.
16:22Let me see.
16:25We should ice this.
16:29Here.
16:30How does that feel?
16:32Better.
16:33He's not going to give up easily.
16:39Camilla, please sit down.
16:41We need discusses Vincent's visit.
16:43I'm not sure what you mean.
16:45Don't lie to me, Richard.
16:46Vincent was here, wasn't it?
16:48He's concerned that perhaps
16:49this job might be
16:51overwhelming for you right now.
16:53Overwhelming?
16:54I've been working here
16:55for three weeks, Richard.
16:56You said my exhibition
16:58was exactly the kind of
16:59fresh perspective
17:00the gallery needs.
17:01Remember?
17:02The gallery relies on donors
17:04like Vincent.
17:06Perhaps we should post...
17:08No.
17:08Let me make this very clear.
17:10You can have Vincent's money
17:11or you can have my work.
17:12But you can't have both.
17:14If you cancel my exhibition,
17:16reduce my hours,
17:17or treat me any differently
17:18because of Vincent's interference,
17:20I will quit.
17:21Immediately.
17:23Wait.
17:24Camilla, let's...
17:25let's not be hasty here.
17:26The exhibition is Friday night, Richard,
17:28just as we planned.
17:29If you cancel it, I'm gone
17:30and I'll make sure everyone
17:31knows exactly why.
17:37They're beautiful.
17:38I can see why.
17:40There's such tenderness in it.
17:42Such hope.
17:43You have a gift, dear.
17:46That one's special to me.
17:56Oh, my.
17:58How quaint.
18:01Such an interesting choice.
18:03Very amateur.
18:05Camilla, darling,
18:06I had no idea you were interested
18:08in photography.
18:09Vincent never mentioned it.
18:11Perhaps you might consider
18:13taking some classeses.
18:14I know a wonderful instructor
18:16who works with beginners.
18:27Excuse me.
18:28Excuse me.
18:29I believe you're standing
18:30in front of some remarkable work.
18:31Oh, Lucas.
18:32I was just admiring Camilla's efforts.
18:36This one's extraordinary.
18:37The composition,
18:38the lighting,
18:39and this,
18:40she's turned an ordinary afternoon
18:42into poetry.
18:44Yes, well,
18:44but technical skill
18:45and proper training
18:46are equally important.
18:48Training?
18:49You mean like the training you got
18:50when you decided
18:51to abandon Vincent
18:52and run off with that producer?
18:53Or the training you got
18:54when you came crawling back
18:55the moment you realized
18:56he was successful?
18:57Lucas, that's enough.
19:00No, brother.
19:01I don't think it is.
19:02I think we're just getting started.
19:06Lucas,
19:07don't do something
19:08you'll regret.
19:09Regret?
19:10You want to know
19:11what I regret, Vincent?
19:12I regret standing by
19:14and watching you treat her
19:15like she was invisible.
19:16I regret not saying something
19:17when you paraded your mistresses
19:19while your wife
19:20handled your damage control.
19:24Vincent, darling,
19:25perhaps we should leave.
19:26This is for treating her
19:28like dirt for two years!
19:29My dress!
19:30Do you have any idea
19:31how much this cost?
19:32Less than Camila's dignity.
19:35Sir, I'm going to need you
19:36to calm down.
19:45This was supposed to be my night.
19:47My photographs,
19:48my moment.
19:49My chance to prove
19:51I was more than just
19:52Vincent Muller's invisible wife.
19:54Instead, it had become
19:55another spectacle,
19:57another public humiliation.
20:03Camila, please.
20:04Let me in.
20:09I'm so sorry, Camila.
20:11I made everything worse.
20:12You were defending me.
20:13I should have thought
20:14about the consequences.
20:15Now every gossip rack
20:16will be running stories
20:17about this drama.
20:19I'm already in the center
20:20of it, Lucas.
20:21Tonight just made it
20:23visible.
20:25Let me drive.
20:30I used to come here
20:31when I was in college.
20:32It's peaceful.
20:33It's beautiful.
20:35So are your photographs.
20:37You have a gift.
20:40That means more
20:41than you know.
20:42Can I tell you something?
20:45I've been watching you
20:46handling Vincent's moods,
20:48his affairs,
20:48for two years.
20:50I hated it.
20:52I hated him
20:52for not seeing
20:53what he had.
20:54And I hated
20:55that you were settling
20:56for so little.
20:58Lucas.
20:59I'm falling in love
21:00with you.
21:01With your strength,
21:02your grace.
21:03I've been falling
21:04for months,
21:05maybe longer,
21:06and tonight
21:06when I saw you
21:07standing there
21:07while she tore you apart,
21:09I couldn't stay silent anymore.
21:12I don't know
21:13what to say.
21:14You don't have
21:14to say anything.
21:15I just needed you
21:16to know that someone
21:17sees you for who you are.
21:21Are you going to answer?
21:23No.
21:30The next morning,
21:32Vincent's mother
21:32summoned us.
21:34An emergency
21:35family meeting.
21:36Last night's spectacle
21:38finally had consequences.
21:42Vincent,
21:43Camilla,
21:44sit.
21:46This is what happens
21:48when personal emotions
21:50interfere with business.
21:51Maybe this family
21:52deserves this.
21:55Careful, Lucas.
21:56Your comfortable lifestyle
21:58depends entirely
21:59on this family's
22:00reputation and success.
22:02Are you threatening
22:03to cut me off?
22:03Mother,
22:04Lucas was defending.
22:05Lucas was causing
22:06a scene that will cost us
22:07millions in damaged
22:08reputation.
22:10And you,
22:11Vincent,
22:11allowed it to happen
22:12by bringing that woman
22:13to your wife's
22:14little art show.
22:15Becky is...
22:16Becky is a liability.
22:17I thought we'd
22:18established that
22:19when we paid her
22:20to disappear five years ago.
22:22You paid her to leave?
22:23Of course we did.
22:24You had no right!
22:26I was protecting
22:27my family.
22:30Camilla,
22:31your little art hobby
22:32has become
22:33a public relations nightmare.
22:35My art isn't a hobby.
22:37And I won't apologize
22:38for defending myself
22:39when your son
22:40brought his mistress
22:41to humiliate me in public.
22:45Here's what's going to happen.
22:46Vincent,
22:47you will end things
22:48with Becky immediately.
22:49Lucas,
22:50you will stay away
22:51from Camilla
22:51and issue a public apology.
22:53And Camilla,
22:54you will withdraw
22:56from any future exhibitions
22:57and focus on being
22:59the supportive wife.
23:00No.
23:01Excuse me?
23:02I said no.
23:03I won't apologize
23:04and I won't stay away
23:06from Camilla.
23:07Cut me off if you want.
23:08Lucas.
23:09Camilla,
23:10you don't have to stay
23:11for this.
23:11Not anymore.
23:16You bought her off.
23:17Vincent,
23:18that's ancient history.
23:19What matters now
23:20is containing this scandal.
23:21No.
23:23What matters now
23:24is the truth.
23:26I need to end this.
23:28I need to face Becky
23:29and tell her it's over.
23:30Careful, Vincent.
23:31Becky has connections.
23:33She could cause problems
23:34for the company.
23:34Let her try.
23:35I'm done being manipulated
23:37by the past.
23:39Camilla,
23:39will you wait for me?
23:40I'll be back.
23:49Vincent,
23:50you sounded so serious
23:51on the phone.
23:52What's this about?
23:53It's over, Becky.
23:54Whatever we had,
23:55it's done.
23:56Don't be ridiculous.
23:58After last night,
23:59you can't just leave.
24:00Last night was a mistake.
24:02I need to deal
24:04my real life,
24:05my real marriage.
24:06Your real marriage?
24:07You mean that pathetic
24:08arrangement with your little wife?
24:10Vincent,
24:11she's nothing.
24:13What we have is real.
24:14What we had was real.
24:16Five years ago,
24:18before you took my mother's money
24:19and disappeared.
24:20You think you can just dismiss me?
24:22Walk away like I'm nothing?
24:24I'm not dismissing you.
24:26I'm accepting reality.
24:28I know things,
24:29Vincent.
24:30About your family's business.
24:32About the deals
24:33that wouldn't look good
24:34in the newspapers.
24:36Are you threatening me?
24:37Choose me
24:38or watch your family
24:40crumble in the press.
24:42Do your worst.
24:43You heard me.
24:44Expose whatever you want.
24:45I'm done being blackmailed
24:47by the past.
24:49Goodbye, Becky.
24:51I hope you find
24:52what you're really looking for.
25:05Camila.
25:06Vincent,
25:07what are you doing here?
25:08These are for you.
25:09Jasmine,
25:10your favorites.
25:11My favorites?
25:12Your mother said
25:13you love Jasmine.
25:14How long have you
25:15been sitting here?
25:17Four hours.
25:18Maybe five.
25:19Vincent,
25:20you can't just...
25:21Please,
25:22just let me say
25:22what I came here to say.
25:24If I don't get it out now,
25:27I might never find
25:28the courage again.
25:33I love you, Camila.
25:34I know I never said it before,
25:36but I do.
25:37The words I dreamed of hearing
25:38for two years
25:39poured out of him
25:40in a rush,
25:41each one landing
25:42like a physical blow.
25:43I was an idiot.
25:45I was so caught up
25:46in the past
25:46and Becky
25:47that I couldn't see
25:48what was right in front of me
25:49and I treated you
25:49like you were invisible.
25:54I ended it with her.
25:56Completely.
25:56I told her it was over.
25:59Vincent.
25:59I know I don't deserve
26:00another chance,
26:02but I can't imagine
26:03my life without you in it.
26:07Tell me it's not too late.
26:09Tell me we can try again.
26:10That I can prove to you
26:12how much you mean to me.
26:13It's too late.
26:17Camila, please.
26:19I love you too.
26:21But I love myself more.
26:24Finally.
26:27No.
26:28No.
26:29Please.
26:34Vincent, get up.
26:37Please.
26:38I have changed.
26:39I ended things with Becky.
26:40This isn't about Becky.
26:44Then tell me what you want.
26:45I want you to respect my decision.
26:47I want you to let me go.
26:49Vincent.
26:51What are you doing?
26:52I'm fighting for my wife.
26:55By harassing her at her home?
26:56By refusing to accept her decision?
26:59Stay out of this, Lucas.
27:00This is between me and Camila.
27:02No.
27:03Vincent.
27:04There is no us to fight for.
27:06You don't mean that.
27:07I need time.
27:08I need space
27:09to figure out who I am.
27:12I need to heal.
27:13So I'm not choosing either of you.
27:15I'm choosing myself.
27:17Camila, please.
27:20I'm filing for divorce tomorrow.
27:22The papers will be served to your office.
27:24Take care of yourself, Camila.
27:30The courthouse steps felt cold beneath my feet.
27:33Two years of marriage reduced to legal documents.
27:37The divorce is granted.
27:39Asset divisions, property settlements,
27:41and the formal dissolution of what had once felt like forever.
27:48Did you ever love me?
27:50Yes.
27:51But loving you meant hating myself.
27:54I never wanted to hurt you.
27:56But you did.
27:57And the worst part is,
27:59I let you.
28:00You're right.
28:01You deserve someone who chooses you first,
28:03every time,
28:04without hesitation.
28:06Thank you
28:06for letting me go.
28:20This is mine.
28:22No Vincent.
28:24No expectations.
28:25Just me.
28:37He came.
28:40I thought you might be too busy to eat.
28:43You were right.
28:44I was.
28:58I can see why you chose this place.
29:01It's like the edge of the world.
29:02That's exactly what I wanted.
29:04Somewhere I could start over completely.
29:07Somewhere Vincent's shadow couldn't reach.
29:09He's been asking about you.
29:11Not directly, but
29:12he's been different.
29:16He started seeing a therapist.
29:19I hope it helps him.
29:21I hope he learns to love someone properly someday.
29:24What about you?
29:27I'm learning to love myself properly first.
29:30But maybe,
29:33maybe I'm ready to learn the other other part too.
29:39I'd like to learn with you.
29:41For the first time in my life,
29:43I felt truly seen as myself.
29:46Complete and worthy of love.
29:57I'm listening to the first time in my life.
29:57I'm sorry.
29:57You
