Couple's Counseling

Madison Missina and Jessie Lee Pierce, a married couple, look tense as they step into the living room together. They're on the verge of separating and have just returned home from couple's counseling. Jessie Lee thinks the session went well, but Madison is skeptical. Madison is still resistant to the whole thing, though she IS trying. This seems to give them both a bit of hope. Madison still resists the idea, but she is trying. This gives them both some hope. They begin to look around their living room to find something that brings them joy. It is difficult for them to discuss certain items because, for some, they bring back a lot of bad memories. There doesn't seem to be one singular thing that brings pleasure to both of them, which causes tensions to rise again. Jessie Lee believes that because they couldn't find something sentimental, it proves the couple isn't right for one another. They realize after one last look that it's right there in front of their faces all along: the pool table. It was one of the very first items they purchased together and is the only thing they haven't fought about. Madison and Jessie Lee bond over their shared memory of bringing the pool table to home. This makes Jessie Lee feel moved. They cuddle up to each other, playfully nuzzling into each other's bodies. The kiss becomes more intense as the fire is reignited. Couple's therapy is clearly working!
