The reader will lean forward fill with conjectures: "Lady is listening to the sound of the sea and hides her face in her palms." I love your play on words. This literary techniques carries the account. A good ending.

Excellent. And then they get a bit tipsy and dance off into the starlight. A sweet piece and some authentic dialogue. Well done.

I enjoyed this. A well written screenplay. Just 2 questions, was the throwing of the wedding ring symbolic and, "Characters:
Lady a woman past her forty,..." was this line deliberate?

You created vivid imagery and I felt I was right there. Well done. A great job.

    Yup she was saying good bye to her marriage by throwing the ring in the ocean, and past forty you got me, Sir?:)

    Past her forty? Was she into her fortieth year of life or older? Love the symbolism of throwing the ring.

    Loved the poem, Jacqueline 😊

This script, Genus passiflora - passion fruit, is a sort of happy and sad tale both. The dialogue between the two seems to follow a reasonable situation.

    I wonder how did you manage to trust again someone. For me is so hard to start all over. I'm just writing about it.

Iza,

Well written, my dear. The dialogue was by far, believable and it moved effortlessly between the two.

I wonder if the waiter "got lucky" after cocktails...

One correction-
Then sighting (sighing) takes the glass from the waiter

I felt as if I were on the beach at an adjacent table.

Well done!
John

I enjoyed reading. It's very creative. My biggest suggestion is that in a play the action, and who's speaking needs to be completely separate from the dialogue, maybe use : or something similar. They often ran together with only a period.

Then sighting takes the glass from the waiter and says: (sighing???)

I only wish I still had six stars to give you for this particular piece of writing. It is very profound and it makes your soul thinks that once we've lost our me whether it be by by divorce or whether it be by death, we do have to move on in life and live our own lives. This is so beautifully done. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. May God bless you richly Patricia.

I think you had good attention to detail in the stage direction, I liked how you slipped in that moment when the lady chucks her wedding ring behind the waiter's back. And the confused look on the waiter's face. These little details make the scene come alive. Lots of wit and humor spice up the dialogue. This gal is on the look out for someone better and making her own magic. estory

This is classy way to say goodbye to someone that is bringing you down. The script is excellent. You are a good script writer. This wouldn't be based on your life would it.?
