SCENE OPENS on a close-up of unseen hands finishing putting a dress on a woman (Chanel Preston) on a bed, zipping it up and smoothing out the wrinkles. The hands clasp a bracelet to her wrist before applying lipstick tenderly to her lips. The woman never moves. We don?t see her eyes.
We cut to a POV shot from the bed, looking up at the man (Tommy Pistol) who is preparing the woman. He has his arms crossed over his chest and looks down at her, appraising his work. He thinks for a moment. Deciding something, he exits offscreen for a beat. He returns with high heel shoes. We cut away to a close up of him slipping the shoes onto her feet and cut back to the POV shot from the bed. He reappraises his work after the update. He seems pleased and smiles.
?I hope you can hear me, honey.? the man says sweetly as he sits down on the bed next to her and takes her hand in his. After a beat of silence, he says ?No, I KNOW you can hear me. I just wanted to say?I realize that?that things haven?t been?all that great between us ever since your?accident and I?I could tell you a THOUSAND times how sorry I am, but I know it wouldn?t change what happened. All we can do is move?forward. And I want SO badly to do that. I?m committed to making this work, I?m committed to being?BETTER, committed to? getting us through this.? After another moment of silence, as he gazes at the woman in bed his eyes mist up with emotion. He reaches out and brushes her hair a bit back out of her face.
?I understand?that this?that this hasn?t be an easy?TRANSITION for you and I..I WISH things could be different, but if this is the only way we can be together, to me it?s better than nothing,? he continues. A moment of strained silence follows. ?But let?s not focus on negativity, let?s concentrate on tonight. I?m going to make this such a special night for you honey. You deserve it,? he says, smiling. ?I love you?so much,? he adds sincerely. The doorbell rings. He gets up to leave the room. ?That must be her,? he says with an expectant smile.
