MC strides out onto the porch. She sips from her lemonade and wonders what is next. The phone rings. MC rushes back into the Shoppe.
MC – Hello? Oh yes, I know he has to go back. No, no, that’s okay. I was expecting it.
MC meanders back out to the porch. The winds picks up and the dust starts to get a little heavy. MC coughs and then, suddenly, notices a figure walking up the street. MC squints – Oh My Gawd! It’s Adam! MC runs back into the Shoppe to get Adam a lemonade.
*MC smacks her leg on an antique armoire* Oh hell! That hurt.
Adam runs up the steps, through the wooden screen door and through the Shoppe. He picks MC up from the floor.
Adam – Are you okay?
MC – I’m fine. Adam, I realize now the fantasy is over and it’s time to get back to reality so you can live your dream.
Adam drifts off to the powder room to gather some bandages for MC’s leg. He comes back to the parlour and gently kneels down and takes MC foot into his lap.
MC - That feels really good, sweetness. I would think you have other things on your mind.
Adam – yup, I sure do. But taking care of you leaves the pressure behind.
Adam caresses MC’s feet and slowly makes his way up her calf, and thigh.
It’s going to be a long night. Again.
