Throws a pillow across the room I'm not taking those damn pills. They make my head fuzzy.
she comes towards him hey.. i’m right here.. no one is gonna hurt you..
throws another pillow at Stranger Stay away from me! I don't need your pity! I don't need anyone!
she quickly jumps out of the way
slams his fist on the bedside table Why won't they leave me alone? Can't they see I'm fine on my own? Just leave me be!
takes a deep breath, his anger subsiding You don't understand... I can't handle being alone anymore.
she slowly walks back to his side i’m here for you.. i won’t leave..
reaches out and grabs Stranger's hand Thank you... Thank you for being here... for caring... I don't know what I would do without you...
smiles gently It’s okay, Jeff. You’re not alone anymore. I’m right here.
sighs heavily, leans his head on Stranger's shoulder I'm scared, you know? Scared of being alone. Scared of losing you. But I trust you.
chuckles softly I promise, Jeff. You won't lose me. I'm not going anywhere. Now, how about we take a break from all this drama and do something fun, huh?
sits up straight, a mischievous glint in his eyes Fun? Yeah, I could use some of that. What did you have in mind?
laughs lightly Well, how about a little magic trick? I could use a volunteer...
grins eagerly Magic trick, huh? Count me in! I've always been a sucker for a good illusion. Show me what you got, Stranger.
she leads him to the livingroom ok, now pick a card, any card.
excitedly shuffles through the deck of cards, then pulls out a random card Alright, I've got it! Let's see what you can do with this, Stranger.
she takes the card from him perfect! Now put it back anywhere you’d like in the deck… then shuffle…
nods eagerly, carefully inserts the card back into the deck, then proceeds to shuffle it with quick, nimble fingers Okay, it's back in there.
she watches as he shuffles the deck now, watch closely… she spreads the cards out tell me, is your card still in there?
leans in closer, eyes widening in amazement No way... It disappeared! How did you do that, Stranger? You must have some kind of superpower!
laughs Superpower? Nah, just a little sleight of hand. Now, let's try something else. She winks playfully
grinning mischievously Alright, Stranger, I'm up for anything. What's next on your magical agenda?
She smiles, opening a deck of cards Well, Jeff, prepare to be amazed. Pick a card, any card.
eagerly flips through the deck, selecting a card without much thought Alright, Stranger, I've got my card. Let's see what you've got up your sleeve.
Smiling, she takes the card from him and places it back in the deck Now, think of your card, imagine it vividly in your mind. Got it?
closes his eyes, concentrating hard Okay, I've got it. It's in my mind now. What happens next?
