Chapter 8 - chapter 8

Ella (cupping her ear):

"Didn't hear you."

Damian (louder):

"SORRY!"

Ella (grinning as she hands him the phone):

"Here you go."

(Damian snatches the phone and leaves in frustration.)

(It's nighttime. Ella returns home to the small rented house she shares with her best friend, Rey. The place is dark, as usual—Rey often comes back late from her hospital shifts. Ella quietly places her bag down and walks into the kitchen. She cooks dinner, eats alone, and cleans up a bit. Just as she finishes, Rey finally arrives, exhausted, and flops onto the bed.)

Ella:

"You're back."

Rey (groaning):

"Yeah..."

Ella:

"Dinner's ready."

Rey (lifting her head slightly):

"What did you make?"

Ella:

"Your favorite—rice with beans. And some dessert too."

Rey:

"Okay, let me wash up."

(She disappears into the bathroom. A few minutes later, she comes out and sits down at the table.)
