The Awakening Of Gabriella

You were thinking of something before I walked in.

May I know what it was?

Do you miss it? Your past?

No.

Tell me. Tell me all before.

I was so happy.

I had married Carl, my high school sweetheart.

People said we were the perfect couple.

Everyone said I was so lucky because Carl chose me for his wife.

Carl was very handsome and he could be charming.

Very charming when he wanted to be.

He told me I was the only one he'd ever really loved.

I loved bringing Carl flowers. They brightened up our little place.

Made it smell so nice.

He said they reminded him of me. Soft and pretty.

Even though it wasn't much, I loved our little business.

Carl and I had a plan and we were slowly fixing it up.

Gabriela, wait! Let me explain!

Gabriela!

Mark!

Mark!

Honey, honey, stop this now. Come on. This isn't serious. It isn't anything.

Well, you could have fooled me.

Look, stop this right now. Where are you taking me?

Come on! Go!

Dammit, Gabriela! You could have hurt me!

Hurt you?

What the hell do you think you just did to me?

Sorry.

Why? Why, Carl? Tell me why!

Don't do this.

You owe me that! I thought you loved me!
