Dave Discovers Amber’s Secret About Wayne

A shocking confession changes everything!

SCENE 1 — AMBER’S HOUSE — LATE AFTERNOON

The house is unusually quiet. Amber sits on the couch, looking nervous and distracted. She keeps checking her phone, clearly carrying something heavy on her mind.

Dave walks into the room and immediately notices that something seems different about her.

DAVE

“Amber, can I ask you something?”

Amber looks up and tries to smile.

AMBER

“Sure. What is it?”

Dave sits across from her and pauses for a moment.

DAVE

“It’s about Wayne.”

Amber’s expression immediately changes. She looks away, making Dave even more suspicious.

DAVE

“Why did you suddenly get quiet?”

AMBER

“I didn’t. I just wasn’t expecting you to ask about him.”

Dave leans forward.

DAVE

“I’ve been hearing his name a lot lately. I just want to understand what’s going on.”

Amber takes a deep breath.

AMBER

“Wayne is my boss.”

Dave nods slowly.

DAVE

“Okay. I knew he was your boss.”

Amber hesitates before revealing the part she has been afraid to say.

AMBER

“But there’s something else. Wayne was also my ex.”

SHOCKING REVELATION: Dave suddenly realizes that Amber and Wayne have a history he knew nothing about.

SCENE 2 — DAVE’S ANGER

Dave slowly stands up. His expression changes from confusion to shock and disappointment.

DAVE

“Your ex?”

Amber nods quietly.

AMBER

“Yes.”

DAVE

“So Wayne wasn’t just your boss? You were actually in a relationship with him?”

AMBER

“Yes, but that relationship ended.”

Dave turns away, trying to understand why Amber never told him.

DAVE

“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

AMBER

“I was scared.”

DAVE

“Scared of what?”

AMBER

“I didn’t know how you would react.”

Dave becomes increasingly frustrated.

DAVE

“You should have told me the truth from the beginning. You knew there was a history between you and Wayne, and you never said anything.”

Amber tries to explain herself.

AMBER

“I wasn’t trying to hurt you. I wanted to tell you, but I didn’t know how.”

DAVE

“You let me believe Wayne was only your boss. How am I supposed to feel about that?”

SCENE 3 — THE CONFRONTATION

Dave walks toward the window, trying to calm himself, but his disappointment remains obvious.

DAVE

“Amber, do you understand how this makes me feel?”

AMBER

“Yes, and I’m sorry.”

DAVE

“Sorry doesn’t change the fact that you kept this from me.”

Amber looks down.

AMBER

“I thought our past was over.”

Dave turns toward her.

DAVE

“Maybe it is over for you, but Wayne is still around you every day.”

AMBER

“He’s my boss. That’s all he is now.”

DAVE

“How am I supposed to believe that?”

Amber looks at Dave with desperation.

AMBER

“Because I’m telling you the truth now. I don’t have feelings for him anymore.”

Dave remains silent for several seconds.

DAVE

“Then why were you so afraid to tell me?”

AMBER

“Because I knew it would hurt you.”

Dave looks away.

DAVE

“It hurts even more knowing that you chose to keep it from me.”

SCENE 4 — AMBER BECOMES OVERWHELMED

The emotional confrontation becomes too intense for Amber. She looks pale and unsteady.

She places one hand against the back of the couch.

DAVE

“I trusted you, Amber.”

AMBER

“I know.”

DAVE

“You should have trusted me enough to tell me the truth.”

Amber closes her eyes and takes a shaky breath.

AMBER

“Dave, please…”

Dave suddenly realizes that something is wrong.

DAVE

“Amber?”

Amber tries to speak, but her voice becomes weak.

AMBER

“I don’t feel…”

Before she can finish, Amber loses consciousness and collapses onto the floor.

CLIFFHANGER: Dave’s anger instantly disappears when he realizes Amber needs help.

SCENE 5 — DAVE PANICS

Dave immediately rushes toward Amber and calls her name.

DAVE

“Amber! Can you hear me?”

When she does not respond, Dave becomes frightened. The argument from moments earlier suddenly feels completely unimportant.

DAVE

“Please wake up, Amber.”

Dave quickly reaches for his phone and calls emergency services. He explains that Amber has suddenly collapsed and is not responding.

While waiting for help, Dave stays nearby and keeps talking to her.

DAVE

“Just stay with me. Help is coming.”

His voice is no longer angry. It is filled with fear and regret.

SCENE 6 — HELP ARRIVES

A short time later, medical responders arrive at the house. Dave immediately steps aside so they can assess Amber.

He watches anxiously as they check her condition.

DAVE

“Is she going to be okay?”

The responders explain that Amber needs proper medical evaluation and may need to be taken to the hospital.

Dave nods and watches as Amber receives professional medical attention.

DAVE

“I’m sorry, Amber.”

For the first time, Dave realizes that his anger had taken control of the situation.

SCENE 7 — THE HOSPITAL

Later, Dave sits in the hospital waiting area. His mind keeps replaying the conversation with Amber.

He remembers learning that Wayne was Amber’s former boyfriend. But the moment Amber collapsed is now all he can think about.

DAVE

“I should have stopped the argument.”

A doctor eventually approaches him.

DAVE

“How is Amber?”

The doctor explains that Amber is being monitored and that the medical team is determining what caused her to lose consciousness.

Dave takes a deep breath.

DAVE

“Can I see her?”

He is told to wait until she is stable.

Dave quietly returns to his seat.

SCENE 8 — AMBER WAKES UP

After some time, Amber slowly opens her eyes.

She looks around, confused.

Dave is nearby and immediately stands when he realizes she is awake.

DAVE

“Amber…”

AMBER

“Where am I?”

DAVE

“You’re in the hospital. You fainted.”

Amber remembers their argument and becomes emotional.

AMBER

“Dave, I’m sorry.”

Dave shakes his head.

DAVE

“We can talk about everything later. Right now, I just want to know that you’re okay.”

Amber looks surprised by his response.

AMBER

“I was afraid you would never forgive me.”

DAVE

“I’m hurt, Amber. I won’t pretend I’m not. But I don’t want to make decisions while I’m angry.”

Amber nods.

AMBER

“You deserve the complete truth.”

Dave agrees that they will have a calm conversation once Amber feels better.

SCENE 9 — AN UNEXPECTED MESSAGE

Outside Amber’s hospital room, Dave suddenly receives a message on his phone.

He looks at the screen.

The message is from Wayne.

Wayne wants to speak with Dave.

Dave’s expression becomes serious. He looks toward Amber’s room and then back at his phone.

DAVE

“What does Wayne want now?”

Dave now has a difficult decision to make. Should he confront Wayne immediately, wait until Amber recovers, or hear Wayne’s side of the story first?

The secret about Amber and Wayne has completely changed Dave’s understanding of the situation.

THE BIG QUESTION

Will Dave be able to trust Amber again after discovering her hidden relationship with Wayne?

And what exactly does Wayne want to tell Dave?

The next conversation could change everything!
