Larry believed he was simply having a normal conversation with his gym friend.

But Rob’s advice about Bethany’s business dream completely changed the direction of Larry’s life.

Instead of supporting Bethany financially, Rob convinced Larry to consider ending his marriage.

What Larry couldn’t see was that Rob wasn’t giving him that advice for the reason he claimed.

And when the real reason finally became clear, there was no going back.

The gym is crowded, with people moving between machines while music plays throughout the room.

Larry finishes his workout, grabs his towel, and sits down to catch his breath.

Rob notices him sitting alone and immediately realizes something is bothering him.

Larry looks toward Rob but doesn’t answer immediately.

Larry takes a slow breath.

Rob becomes unusually quiet.

He looks at Larry for a few seconds before finally speaking.

Rob pauses before giving an answer Larry never expected.

Larry suddenly stops moving.

Larry looks uncomfortable.

Rob gives Larry one final look.

Larry picks up his gym bag and prepares to leave.

Larry walks toward the exit without realizing that Rob is watching him closely.

The moment Larry disappears through the doors, Rob’s expression changes.

He looks around the gym to make sure nobody is close enough to hear him.

Then Rob quietly admits the thought he has been hiding.

Rob takes a deep breath.

He tries to push the thought away.

But deep down, Rob already knows exactly what he wants.

Later that evening, Larry walks through the front door.

Bethany is already waiting in the living room.

One look at Larry’s face tells her that something is wrong.

Larry puts his keys on the table.

Bethany nods.

She steps closer to him.

Bethany explains that she wants to become independent and create something that belongs to her.

Larry listens without saying a word.

Bethany waits for his response.

Instead, Larry reaches into his bag.

He pulls out a sealed envelope.

Larry places the envelope directly in front of her.

Bethany slowly opens it.

DIVORCE PAPERS.

Bethany’s eyes begin filling with tears.

Bethany stands frozen, unable to process what just happened.

The following day, Rob gets a phone call.

The moment he hears the news, his expression changes.

Larry has officially handed Bethany the divorce papers.

Rob ends the call and stands silently for a moment.

Then a small smile appears on his face.

The plan he never admitted out loud suddenly feels possible.

Rob grabs his keys.

And he heads straight toward Bethany’s house.

Rob reaches Bethany’s home and knocks on the door.

After a few seconds, Bethany opens it.

Her face still shows the pain from everything that happened with Larry.

Bethany steps away from the doorway.

Rob enters and looks at her carefully.

Rob moves a little closer.

Rob takes a long breath.

Bethany looks directly at him.

Bethany looks confused.

Bethany says nothing.

Rob continues before she can respond.

Bethany looks down, thinking carefully about his words.

After a long silence, she looks back at him.

Rob can barely hide his happiness.

Weeks pass.

What began with heartbreak eventually turns into a wedding day.

Bethany stands beside Rob, ready to begin what she believes is a completely new chapter.

Her father, Mr. Newburger, is there for the ceremony.

Mr. Newburger nods and gives her a quiet smile.

The music begins.

Rob looks at Bethany.

The ceremony continues until the final words are spoken.

Rob and Bethany are officially married.

Everyone around them applauds.

Rob reaches for Bethany’s hand.

For one perfect moment, it looks like everything has finally worked out.

Larry is no longer part of Bethany’s life. Bethany has moved forward. And Rob has finally gotten the future he wanted.

OR DID HE?

Suddenly, the wedding music stops.

The room begins disappearing around Rob.

The lights vanish.

Bethany is gone.

Larry is gone.

Mr. Newburger is gone.

EVERYTHING TURNS BLACK.

Then Rob suddenly opens his eyes.

He is lying alone in his bedroom.

Morning light is shining through the window.

Rob quickly sits up and looks around.

He looks at the empty room.

There is no Bethany.

No Larry.

No wedding.

No divorce papers.

NOTHING HE SAW WAS REAL.

Rob slowly realizes the truth.

He sits quietly on the edge of his bed.

Every moment begins replaying inside his head.

The conversation with Larry. The divorce. Bethany’s tears. His proposal. The wedding.

None of it ever happened.

Larry was still married to Bethany.

Rob had never proposed to her.

Bethany had never said yes.

There had never been a wedding.

Rob takes a deep breath and stares at the floor.

Then, unexpectedly, a faint smile appears on his face.

Because although the wedding was only a dream… it exposed something Rob had been hiding from everyone.

He didn’t just dream about Bethany. He dreamed about having a life with her.

THE SCREEN FADES TO BLACK.
