Daddy’S Little Matchmaker
E 4
The tension in the room is palpable as Damien stands silently, watching his parents argue.
Theo and Orion notice his presence, their argument coming to a halt.
Orion Adelio (DA)
Damien, will you answer us, or are you just going to keep staring? ❄️
Damien Adelio (E)
(Sighs heavily)
Damien Adelio (E)
What do you want me to say, Dad?
Damien Adelio (E)
Whatever Milton said was true
Damien Adelio (E)
He found his mate, and he had to go.
Theo and Orion exchange glances, their expressions hardening.
Damien Adelio (E)
He can’t stay in this loveless marriage.
Damien Adelio (E)
Every word he said …was true.
Damien Adelio (E)
I’m an Enigma. I’m incapable of love.
Damien Adelio (E)
We can’t change that.
Theo Adelio (SA)
(Eyes widen slightly)
Orion Adelio (DA)
(Frown deepens)
Damien Adelio (E)
It’s not my fault that I was born an Enigma.
Damien Adelio (E)
Why did you even adopt me?
The weight of his words settles over the room like a heavy blanket
Damien Adelio (E)
You should have just left me at the orphanage
Damien Adelio (E)
You should have thought about all this before you adopted me.
Damien Adelio (E)
(Turns around and walks towards his room)
Theo and Orion stand frozen, their expressions unreadable as they watch Damien disappear upstairs
