Bethany Forces Decision With Divorce Threat Read More

A single phone call. One ultimatum. By the end of the day, nothing will be the same.

BETHANY’S LIVING ROOM

Sunlight spills through the large windows. Bethany paces, phone in hand. Every second stretches thin.

She exhales, fingers trembling… and presses CALL.

LARRY: Bethany? It’s daytime… what’s wrong?

BETHANY: Larry… you need to come back home. Right now.

THE ULTIMATUM

LARRY: Bethany… what’s going on?

BETHANY: I’m done waiting.

BETHANY: If you don’t come home… I’ll file for divorce.

Silence. The words land like a thunderclap.

MONTANA

LARRY: Divorce… you mean this?

BETHANY: I’ve given you every chance.

BETHANY: And Montana… that’s where you’ll stay. Permanently.

Larry’s grip tightens. The choice closes in.

NO MORE WAITING

LARRY: We can fix this…

BETHANY: No! I can’t keep waiting for you to decide.

BETHANY: This is your final warning.

THE CHOICE

BETHANY: Come home… or face the consequences.

BETHANY: Then come home. Or stay in Montana.

BETHANY: Your choice, Larry.

She hangs up. The click echoes.

AFTERMATH

Larry stares at the phone, frozen. Sunlight cuts across his face like judgment.

LARRY: Montana… or Bethany…

Back in Bethany’s living room, she sits still — resolved, unyielding.

The storm has only begun… TO BE CONTINUED.
