INT. APARTMENT LANDING - LATER THAT NIGHT
The rain is easing. Two keys lie beside the cake. LENA has found the complete goodbye message on her phone. MAYA is ready to hear it.
03 I can't keep doing this. Please take care of yourself. And please stop telling people I left because I couldn't love you enough. 0:00 04 That's the sentence? 0:08 05 That's the sentence. Not a dying woman. Just a woman leaving. 0:10 06 He told me I was the first person who made him feel safe. I thought that meant I had to stay. 0:14 07 I thought it meant I had to get better at staying. 0:21 08 I was awful to you when you arrived. 0:25 09 You were holding a cake and finding out your life had a room you weren't allowed into. I'll allow an awkward introduction. 0:30 10 He's texting. Five minutes away. Love you. Don't believe everything she says. 0:38 11 He knew we'd be here together. He was counting on us fighting. 0:44 12 I want him to explain it. All of it. In a way that makes yesterday real again. 0:48 13 I know. I spent six months waiting for that explanation. 0:55 14 My mother's flown in. There's a dress in my kitchen. One hundred and twelve little cards with people's names. 0:59 15 You don't have to tell one hundred and twelve people tonight. Tell one person who loves you. 1:07 16 Mom? It's me. I'm safe. But I'm not getting married on Saturday. Can you come get me? I'll explain in the car. 1:14 17 Do you want me to stay until she comes? 1:23 18 Yes. And I owe you a cake stand. The cake itself is probably a structural hazard. 1:26 19 I have two forks in my bag. Moving out taught me to be prepared. 1:34 20 He's here. That's his car. 1:40 21 Do you want to wait at his door? 1:42 22 No. Leave the keys. We're taking the cake. 1:45 ✳ End of reading
