💔 AMBER'S SHOCKING DISCOVERY 💍
EXT. DAVE'S HOUSE – AFTERNOON
A beautiful new car slowly enters Dave's driveway. The sunlight reflects off the polished paint, making it sparkle.
Behind the wheel sits AMBER, smiling proudly.
She still can't believe Dave bought her such an expensive gift.
I still can't believe he bought me this car.
She parks the vehicle and steps outside.
Everything feels normal at first.
Then she notices something unusual.
STRANGE DECORATIONS
The front yard is decorated with flowers, balloons, candles, and elegant ribbons.
A red carpet stretches toward the backyard.
Amber looks confused.
What's going on here?
Curious, she follows the decorations toward the backyard.
The closer she gets, the louder the cheering becomes.
Suddenly she stops.
Amber sees something she never expected.
THE PROPOSAL
Standing in the center of the backyard is DAVE.
He is down on one knee.
In his hand is a diamond ring.
Standing in front of him is MELISSA.
Friends and family surround them.
Everyone is smiling.
Melissa... will you marry me?
Melissa immediately covers her mouth.
Tears fill her eyes.
Yes!
The crowd erupts into cheers and applause.
Dave places the ring on Melissa's finger.
They hug.
They kiss.
Everyone celebrates.
Everyone except Amber.
Amber feels like the ground has disappeared beneath her feet.
What?!
CONFUSION AND QUESTIONS
Amber hides behind a fence, unable to believe what she is seeing.
Her heart races.
Her hands shake.
He bought me a car... but he's proposing to Melissa?
Nothing makes sense.
Why would Dave buy her such an expensive gift if he planned to marry someone else?
What does Dave really want?
The question repeats inside her mind.
DAVE SEES AMBER
As the celebration continues, Dave suddenly notices Amber standing nearby.
His smile immediately disappears.
Amber?
Everyone turns around.
Melissa follows Dave's gaze.
Amber?
The entire backyard falls silent.
Amber slowly walks forward.
Her eyes never leave Dave.
The celebration instantly becomes uncomfortable.
So this is what you've been doing?
Amber... I can explain.
Explain what?
Nobody speaks.
The silence becomes unbearable.
THE CAR SECRET
Amber points directly at Melissa's engagement ring.
You proposed to her?
Yes.
Then why did you buy me a car?
Melissa suddenly turns toward Dave.
What is she talking about?
Dave freezes.
You bought Amber a car?
Guests begin whispering among themselves.
The mood completely changes.
Melissa is shocked. Amber is angry. Dave is trapped between them.
DEMANDING ANSWERS
I want answers.
So do I.
Dave takes a deep breath.
The car wasn't romantic.
Really?
I was helping a friend.
You spend thousands of dollars on friends?
Dave has no good answer.
For the first time all day, he looks nervous.
THE ULTIMATUM
Melissa slowly steps away from Dave.
The engagement ring suddenly feels heavier on her finger.
Maybe I don't know you as well as I thought.
Dave's eyes widen.
Melissa, wait.
No. I think it's time you tell us the whole truth.
Amber nods in agreement.
For the first time, Amber and Melissa stand on the same side.
Both waiting for answers.
Both demanding the truth.
Dave realizes his perfect proposal has turned into a disaster. The truth can no longer stay hidden.
