Di hari perayaan ulang tahun pernikahan ketiga mereka, hadiah yang disiapkan Debora untuk suaminya adalah selembar surat perjanjian cerai. Dia melirik kursi kosong di seberangnya, lalu menelepon pengacaranya. "Pak, surat perjanjian ceraiku sudah selesai dibuat?" Debora duduk sendirian di meja makan. Cahaya lilin yang berkelip di atas meja memantul di wajahnya, membuat ekspresinya sulit ditebak. "Sudah selesai, Bu. Saya sudah pesan kurir untuk antarkan." Suara pengacara terhenti sejenak, lalu dia bertanya ragu-ragu, "Hari ini ulang tahun pernikahan ketiga Anda dan Pak Bravy. Anda yakin ingin mengajukan perceraian di hari yang begitu bermakna?" Bermakna? Tatapan Debora tertuju pada hidangan yang sudah dingin sejak lama. Kilatan ejekan untuk diri sendiri melintas di matanya. Hari peringatan hanya berarti jika diingat oleh kedua pasangan. Jelas, dalam hubungan antara dirinya dan Bravy, hanya dia yang mengingatnya. Baru saja telepon ditutup, terdengar suara pintu dibuka dari arah depan. Bravy masuk dengan wajah lelah, tetapi kegembiraan dalam nada suaranya tak bisa disembunyikan. "Kasus perceraian Amanda akhirnya selesai. Dia akhirnya bisa benar-benar lepas dari pria yang suka KDRT itu." Setelah sebulan tak bertemu, kalimat pertama yang diucapkan Bravy padanya justru tentang cinta pertamanya yang akhirnya bercerai.

His friends are bored during a private party and want me to perform a strip dance on stage to liven things up. I expect Tyler to at least turn them down on my behalf, but all he does is sip his wine and say, "Go on. You're the owner of this place, aren't you? Aren't clubs supposed to satisfy their patrons' needs? Don't let my friends down!" I look at him emotionlessly. I don't cry or throw a fuss. Instead, I splash a glass of liquor in his face. The following day, I trash the club. Three months later, Tyler finally thinks of calling me. "Where are you? Aren't you gonna get the hell back here? Do you really expect me to beg you to come back? Do you think you're worthy of that?" I pull my newlywed husband to the camera. "Sorry, Mr. Freeman. I'm getting married. You don't need to come, but do get me a wedding gift." Unexpectedly, he threatens to show my husband intimate videos of me when he sees me in a wedding gown.
