Third person pov

At the marriage counsellors office.

Dr Lee: So, part two. Here we are. Only this time, you came back alone.

Dr Lee got his note book out to write down his notes.

Lisa: well I guess I need someone to talk to.

Lisa says bluntly. She was relaxed yet. So she seems

Dr Lee: Why did you come here today Lisa?

Lisa was sat in the office alone. Her wife wasn't wasn't here sat on the chair next to her.

Lisa: I'm not sure, really.

Lisa sighs as she was in thought while Dr Lee was listening to what Lisa had to say.

Lisa: Let me clarify, I love my wife. I love her so much.

Lisa explains to Dr Lee the marriage counsellor.

Lisa: I want her to be happy. I want good things for her.

Lisa sigh, she talks to Dr Lee with her hands. Lisa talked a lot with her hands.

Lisa: But there are times...

Lisa motions her hands like she was strangling somebody. Meaning she gets frustrated sometimes with her wife.

Lisa: I mean there was this time.

Cut away...

Jennie and Lisa were in bed. Jennie was reading a magazine while Lisa was trying to go to sleep. She turns and groans trying to settle in the bed, she is practically shaking the whole room. Lisa turns her bedside light off. She groans as she turns to Jennie.

Lisa: Honey, would you just...

Jennie cuts Lisa off.

Jennie: Five more minutes.

Jennie says in a blunt tone.

Back at the counsellors office...

This time Jennie is sat down alone with the counsellor.

Jennie: There's this huge space between us and it just keeps filling up with everything that we don't say to each other. I feel like me and Lisa can feel the distance but at the same time we act like everything is perfectly fine.

Jennie says to Dr Lee calmly.

Jennie: There has to be a name for it?

Jennie clicks her fingers trying to think.

Jennie: What is that called?

Jennie gives Dr Lee a questioning look. Dr Lee chuckles.

Dr: Lee: Marriage. Mrs Manoban. That's marriage.

Jennie sigh as she looks down at her hand and plays with her wedding band which was on her finger.

Dr Lee: What don't you say to each other?

Jennie: emmmm....

She nods and smiles at Dr Lee.

Cut away...

Jennie and Lisa were getting ready to eat together.

Lisa was reading the news paper and she puts it down while looking at the food Jennie made.

Lisa: This looks nice. Did you do something new?

Lisa looks over at Jennie with a smile.

Jennie Yeah?
