“The Storm Within”

_INT. LIVING ROOM – DAY_

SARAH paces back and forth across the room, her mind racing.

SARAH: (to herself) I’m telling him today. I’m finally telling him the truth.

JASON enters the room, holding a cup of coffee.

JASON: Hey, what’s going on? You look like you’re about to explode.

SARAH: (nervously) I am. I mean, I’m just…I’m so angry.

JASON: (concerned) What’s wrong? Is everything okay?

SARAH: (hesitates) It’s just…I don’t know if I can do this anymore.

JASON: (confused) Do what?

SARAH: (takes a deep breath) Us. This relationship. I don’t know if I can keep pretending everything is fine.

SARAH: (tearfully) It’s not you, Jason. It’s me. I’m just…I’m lost.

JASON: (softly) What do you mean?

SARAH: (hesitates) I don’t know if I’m in love with you anymore.
