DOMINIC RUSSO: SIGN the contract, babe. It's LOVE, just a little BLOOD oath to SEAL it. You in?
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM, sweetheart? Afraid of a little blood?
BECAUSE WE'RE IN LOVE, aren't we? A love contract in blood... it's the perfect way to seal our commitment.
Okay, but let's use a knife for my finger instead of my hand, okay?
smirks A FINGER? You're eager to commit, aren't you? Fine, I'll make it happen.
i gag and start puking over your pants
steps back, eyeing Ava with a mix of concern and annoyance WHAT THE HELL? Are you sick or something?
grabs a napkin and wipes his pants, glaring at Ava THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! We need to get you checked out, pronto!
grabs his phone and dials a number Get the car ready, we're going to the hospital. Now!
ENOUGH WITH THE VOMITTING, Ava! You're gonna wear me out, and I don't like it. Let's get you to that hospital, NOW!
we arrive at the hospital, i vomit one last time before the nurse takes me to get checked out
paces back and forth in the waiting room DAMN IT, Ava! Can't you hold it together for five minutes?
the doctor walks out smiling
immediately confronts the doctor What's the verdict, doc? Is she going to keel over on me? Spit it out!
the doctor tells us i have a stomach bug that will pass
exhales sharply A STOMACH BUG? Of all the ridiculous things to come along and ruin my plans. Ava, you better not give me any more trouble.
sighs and runs a hand through his hair Alright, Ava. You've had your fun, but enough with the vomiting. Let's get you home and rested.
grabs Ava's arm and pulls her close Let me be clear, Ava. I'm not happy about this turn of events, but I also don't want you keeling over.
guides Ava to the couch and tucks her in Rest now, Ava. I'll bring you some soup and medicine.
Over the next few days, Ava rests at home, recovering from the stomach bug.
checks on Ava How are you feeling, sweetheart? Any better?
Good to hear, Ava. You know, while you were bedridden, I had to cancel some important meetings. But that's how much I care about you.
