SCENE SEVENTEEN

MARK and EVERLY arrive at a quaint Italian restaurant. They both get seated. A waiter immediately joins them.

WAITER: What would you like today?

EVERLY picks up the menu, and MARK does the same. 

EVERLY: I would like the Ai Fiori Di Zucca with Brut champagne. 

The WAITER quickly writes it down and turns his gaze towards MARK.

MARK: I would like the Piccata with water. 

The WAITER writes it down.

WAITER: Your food will be with you shortly. 

The WAITER quickly walks away to attend to another set of people. 

EVERLY leans back into the chair thinking deeply. MARK immediately notices this.

MARK: What are you thinking about.

EVERLY: Things.

MARK: What things?

At that moment, the food appears coils of smoke coming off of it. EVERLY'S eyes widen in surprise. 

EVERLY: The food looks delicious. 

MARK smiles. 

MARK: Well, let's dig in. 

EVERLY happy obliges. She takes her time to eat the food savoring every bite. MARK does the complete opposite. He eats it so fast, it makes you wonder if he chewed at all. Within minutes he was done. 

MARK: Why are you eating so slow?

EVERLY: Unlike you, I know how to savor my food. 

MARK looked up as EVERLY finished the last of her food. When she finished, MARK left the bill on the table and they walked out.

SCENE EIGHTEEN

MARK and EVERLY soon arrived at home. EVERLY stumbled to her room yawning. Before entering she turns to MARK.

EVERLY: Good night.

MARK: Night. 

EVERLY enters her room and lays on the bed, tired.
