Chapter 3 — Family Shadows

ML SIDE

Adrian arrives home late, drops jacket on couch

Marcus Vale (ML BROTHER)

You’re late. Again.

Adrian Vale (ML)

Work

Marcus Vale (ML BROTHER)

…It’s always work.

Adrian Vale (ML)

What else do I have?

Marcus Vale (ML BROTHER)

(sighs ) You have me. Don’t shut me out, Adrian.

Adrian Vale (ML)

.........

Marcus Vale (ML BROTHER)

I know what they did to us… how cold Dad was… how Papa never smiled again after…

Adrian Vale (ML)

Stop. Don’t bring the past back.

Marcus Vale (ML BROTHER)

(Softly) It’s already with us. Look at you—successful CEO, yet you eat alone every night.

Adrian Vale (ML)

…Maybe that’s what I deserve.

Marcus Vale (ML BROTHER)

No. You deserve warmth. You deserve love. Even if you don’t believe it yet.

Adrian Vale (ML)

(Laughs bitterly ) Love? That’s just weakness.

Marcus Vale (ML BROTHER)

Then I’ll wait. One day, someone will prove you wrong. Someone stubborn enough to break through your walls.

Adrian Vale (ML)

(Turns away) …No one’s that foolish.

Marcus Vale (ML BROTHER)

(Smiles faintly) …We’ll see.
