The thought of loosing you was unbearable.

Annabelle leans in toward Simone and gives her a quick kiss on her lips.

Simone brings her hand up towards her face. Moving her fingers to and from her lips, nervously. Her mind thinking, calculating.

                                      The morning we got caught.

                                                 ANNABELLE

                                       Emaculata is still traumatized by walking               
                                       in on us.

                                         After you left the room, I sat down and was               
                                        staring at your picture. I kept                     
                                         replaying everything over in my   head.

Simone takes a deep breathe, exhales. Fidgeting her fingers against her lips again.

                                     The day at the beach house, the way you                
                                      would look at me. Hearing you say to                  
                                    me" I’m not letting you go." I                        
                                      slept so peaceful with you                           
                                        in my bed.

                                        After that you wouldn’t talk to me. It                   
                                        seemed like forever.

                                               SIMONE
                                     It wasn’t that I didn’t want you. Suddenly               
                                      I felt so exposed. My feelings for you                    
                                    were true. I was afraid that                            
                                     everyone   would see that                          
                                    I was falling in                                    
                                     love with you.
