Golden hour glowin’ and feelin’ it! Cozy sweater, perfect coffee shop – simple pleasures that make all the difference. Sometimes the best moments are just those spent watching the world go by, wrapped...

Okay, let’s hear it! Here’s our Monologue:

Here we go again, then. This too often feels like here goes again, doesn’t it? The slight fraying around the edges – not that many years ago, surely, nothing so dramatic. Just a little dust settled, perhaps, after all these winters.

You haven’t said much since you stepped out of the car. That’s okay, sometimes. Less to trip over than if you’d actually spoken. More comfortable with quiet, usually. Though tonight… well, tonight felt heavier. Like the scent of rain on damp wool, both familiar and bracingly cold. Did you notice the way the cable knit of this cardiganched ever so gently against your cheek when you leaned in for the kiss last time? It was almost forgotten, wasn't it? Almost.

This dress—dark blue velvet, always dark, never flashy. A bit defiant, maybe, considering. Simple elegance, they called it when you were married - although “bitterly divorced” worked nicely too, didn't it? More truth, generally. These boots, though, these are ours. Leather worn smooth by countless footsteps, most of them alone, naturally. They know their way round, those boots.

You’re staring, aren’t you? Not quite sure why. Probably bored. Or thinking about wondering. Happens. We used to be good at that, weren’t we? At hinting, at suggesting. Now it’s more like a hesitant glance, isn’t it? A flicker of recognition in one of us, quickly dismissed.

That furrowed brow, you think? Is that annoyance, or simply the effort of remembering how to look each other in the eye without feeling guilty? Ah, yes. There it is. A small smile playing at the corner of your mouth. Nothing obvious, no need to shout. Just... there.

So, turn the lens back. Let yourself see us, for once. No point in being afraid. After all, hasn'’t it been long enough already?”

To help us evaluate, does your version capture:

• The Visuals: Do the words evoke the sense of the photo itself (dark clothing, particular posture)?
• The Personality: Does her vibe come through – possibly resilient but carrying a touch of melancholy?
• The Dialogue: Good job addressing ‘you’, the viewer, specifically!
• The Tension: Has she captured that subtle awkwardness beautifully?

Let us know what you thought and where you’d like us to focus next! Would you like another shot with different feedback?
